Some of the items listed above could be the original editions of certain volumes in his Chinese Culture Series (with different titles). They could also be part of a larger edition of works within the Chinese Culture Series, stretching this above the 33 volumes found so far. However, some of the titles do stand out as individual works which leads us to conclude that we are still missing quite a few translations and research potentials.
Most of the above titles were taken from Amazon lists, leading us to believe that these works were originally lodged at the British Library or other book depository. Therefore, only one copy will exist.
Sometime in the future we will attempt to control these books, to copy them or to find the original work. If anybody does have a view on this e.g. an actual copy, then please do inform us as we attempt to collate Bill's work here.
Thanks
