I would like to thank a few people for their help:-

To Andrea Spain at "In Britain" magazine for her very kind help in tracing the 1980 article - not easy as there has been a change of publisher since the original went out.

To Christian Henriksson who helped me get to the bottom of the erroneous 'extra' novel. Check out his own site at: http://hem.paggagen.se/orange/biblio.htm for details of many other Mystery/Thriller writers,

To Peter Alefounder for his help sorting out the very same Windfall/Legacy confusion.

To Ryuji Okuyama in Japan for information about Japanese publications. Sadly the publishers have not replied to my enquiry and so details of their books have been kept back.

To HarperCollins Publishers for their permission to scan and use the book covers. Please remember that Desmond Bagley books are regularly reprinted and while nothing beats finding a bargain at a local secondhand book shop, a nice, crisp new book is a thing of beauty!

To Oxford Bookworms - Please see the section on educational titles.

To the Department of Special Collections at Boston University, (USA) especially:

Mr. J C Johnson, Mr. S D Noel and Dr. H Gotlieb

To Lecia Foston - Joan's sister.

To John Templeton Smith for his kind indulgence and patience as I asked all kinds of Bagley related questions.

And not least to Joan Bagley herself, without whose kind help and encouragement I would have found the job of researching back to a period now over fifteen years past, more difficult than it was. Though ill for a long time before her untimely death, she was always willing to talk about her husband's career, and the pride she had in his achievements was clear to all. I was one lucky enough to make her acquaintance. The world will be a sadder place without her.

A project such as this can not be done entirely alone. Those people listed above have given of their help very freely and unconditionally. That such people exist has cheered me greatly. Any errors in the content of this site are my responsibility, and mine alone.
