Re: RARA-AVIS: Are unpublished novels best left unpublished?

I've not read the two JT novels you cite, though I'm now curious. It may be a case where the authors don't want to see the unpublished novels (for whatever reason) in print. Do you also include the novels-in-progress when authors die and they're finished by other writers?
