Okay, at the risk of cluttering up the list with material that's already
been posted, here's what I've got.  Any other names for Blaine, the forger
of _The Lusty Lawyer_, and Kinglake, the author of _The Death of Love_? 
Is that really an apostrophe in Tcove', or an accent?  And is there
anything relevant in "Parkroads: a Review"?

You'll notice I've added Scleroderma's ms.  I've also made obvious guesses
at which pieces in _Bibliomen_ some of the fictitious books are mentioned
in, with help from the ISFDB.

Any comments, additions, or corrections?
