Several folks had expressed interest in a copy of the complete list of books
which have formed the basis of Masterpiece Theatre presentations. There have
also been several queries on the list recently about tie-ins to TV shows.
In the hopes of satisfying both types of inquiry, here is what I have come
up with. This includes a few titles which I suspect are novelizations, but
patrons who are interested in these probably won't care whether the book or
the TV show came first. Grateful thanks to Tom Dillie and Ike Pulver for
sending me their various lists, which I have incorporated into this.
Naturally, the transfer from a Word table to a Eudora e-mail message has
probably wreaked havoc with original formatting, but I hope this is
comprehensivle enough to be of use.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
