What I'm hoping for, is for someone to furnish me with a list of all the books featured in the "Building A Fortean Library" column to date, ... I'd be eternally grateful if someone here could help me.
Give me a day and I can send you/post here the complete list (may be coming sooner). Having suffered a flood, I understand your pain. Dreadful.
EDIT—
Bit less than a day, as it turned out. Here's the list, with FREE sneak preview.
The story so far: article number followed by issue number—NB the latter aren’t always sequential
