Just a note to let you guys know that much of the "meat" of Steven's C-Keep book list came as a whole (likely from that wellspring of ideas known as his noggin' and likely with the input of Ed as well). This original list is not gleaned from the FR sources and was created "whole cloth".

The later additions to the list are from Ed's (and others) FR writings. The product citations for these latter books etc. can be noted, but there will be gaps.

That's great, but it would have been helpful if they had noted that in the work.

Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine, I have to cite sources religiously at work, it's the only way to ethically do history, and I get upset when i can determine where something originated.

But since that list is free, I shouldn't complain.

You need not fret, GM. I'm committed to ensuring each and every reference is properly sourced.

I'm the same with practically everything I work on that's based on shared-world material. My extensive composition of musical Realmslore, for example, notes author, creator-of-lore, page reference, chapter [where applicable], source-title, edition, and, finally, year published.

I've tried to maintain much the same for my work on the book lists.

I still make use of this web article that Steven made so many years ago.

More interestingly, Ed wrote at least a solid uninterrupted page of every last book he's invented for the Realms, down the years. I've been pushing TSR and later WotC to publish a collection of them for DM use, thus far without success.

Of course Ed did. It's based on a real 1950s lurid paperback, "The Nude Said No." Which was incredibly tame by the standards of nowadays. Ed has many times related finding and reading this book in his father's den, and spending years searching the den (and later, everywhere else) for the mythical sequel, "The Nude Said Yes."

THO, you are my Don Quixote (and I would welcome the chance to be your Sancho ). Pushing TSR and WotC to print something is akin to tilting at windmills. It must be done, but stands very little chance of success.

Keep up your heroic efforts, for they will be rewarded in time.
