Can anyone help me on the following two books? I am looking for information
as to whether they were ever published in paperback (or in hardback for that
matter).
Murder for Pleasure (unknown as to whether this is actually a Sayers
book, I have read that it was with no confirmation)
Talboys (this supposedly was found as a manuscript after her death)

Hmm... I've never heard of it, which means that it is probably a) not one of the Lord Peter Wimsey stories (like The Documents in the Case) or it is the continous rumor of Sayers last, uncompleted Wimsey novel which never got published. It hasn't appeared out of the blue yet; it seems Sayer's was quite busy writing religious theory until her death. > Talboys (this supposedly was found as a manuscript after her death) > I think that this is printed in the latest revisions of _Lord_Peter_, the collection of all the Lord Peter Wimsey short stories. Fun, as it is not much of a mystery, but a pleasant reunion with Peter, Harriet, the Talboys estate and Mr. Puffet, and introduces the Wimsey boys.

Or do they have an unedited manuscript sitting around somewhere, waiting to be fleshed out? If it does exist, however, and is even a shade of something as well-written as _Gaudy_Night_ (the only intelligent romance novel about very intelligent people I've ever read, and a good mystery to boot), it deserves to see the light of day... "Placetne, magistra?" "Placet."

Uh, that's a useful sort of list you've got there, but the Wimsey stories (unlike most series detective stories) have a functional order. Maybe you, or some expert, could repost the list for those of us who know there's an order but ain't sure what it i? Dan'l Danehy-Oakes
