In my youth, I read
all James Hadley Chase thrillers available in print at that time.
Now I was given
by two generous Indian gentlemen some rare out-of-print books
which were missing
in my collection of James Hadley Chase novels.

Many thanks to Dr.
P. C. Sarkar, who swapped two Chase books with me in 2005.
In 2006, he generously
gave me two further books as gifts to enlarge my collection.
Many thanks to the
Chase expert Mr. Ravi Thyagarajan
(rthyagar[at]sbcglobal.net)
who completed my
collection giving me in July 2006 as gifts three very rare books,
which were missing
in my Chase book collection.
