One of the other Marks asked:

<<Question: I was looking for the Thomas book that begins with an elderly, very influentual senator going down to get his newspaper. When he opens the door he is shot. I thought I had all of Thomas' books, yet a in a cursory search I couldn't find it. Does anybody know the title?>>

The box with Thomas's books is buried right now, but I'll dig it out if no one else knows. Meanwhile, let me hazard a guess. Could it have been The Fools In Town Are On Our Side?

And let me add to my earlier post that there is no non-essential Thomas. I agree with the others who recommend Chinaman's Chance as the place to start. As a matter of fact, that's the book I have used to hook many future Thomas fans. One of the great con job books.
