I have had a project in mind called EYECYCLOPEDIA which will do the same,
only in print form. I pictured myself doing one volume a year. That was
several years ago and volume A is not out yet. Every Bouchercon I keep
telling people, next B'con vol. A will be out. Hopefully, once again, I
hope to have A ready for the Philly B'con. But please feel free to launch
your effort, as my is a life time hobby approach to this, and I claim no
ownership.

Didn't think to watch Total, but I did watch Dellaventura. Why is it that
the P. I. show producers feel the need to have a cheezy voice over on these
things. It worked for Hammer, but give it up. I didn't like it on that
Mark Harmon P. I. show a few season ago, although I liked the show. With
Dellaventura, I don't like either the voice over or the show. Too bad.
