Don't you see, Stewart, why I get fed up of lists? If you have a list, the name of the translator, publisher and the date of publication are vital.

Also, whether the book is published by a respectable publisher in the USA or Britain, or by some quasi-vanity set-up. Arcadia, Kegan Paul, Pushkin, Enitharmion mean something (though I remember the days of Routledge, Kegan, Paul).

But what has to be established is what realistic chance there is of finding these books on Amazon or elsewhere. Otherwise it remains an impressive list which doesn't actually produce the goods.

The fact that they don't even give the English titles is a bit of a laugh.
