I don't find Ritchie or Dresner on the "Selections from the Backlist"
page. Did you notice that, with three exceptions, the authors are
listed in alphabetical order? Anderson, Asimov, Bloch ... Wyndham,
Zahn. David Goodis should be down two places, where Aldous Huxley is;
Huxley should be down where Jackie Collins; Collins should be one
above where Goodis is.
