The Lewis List (By)

So, having now managed to get my Lewis books (by and about) together, not just on the same floor but in the same room, indeed the same bookcase, this seemed like a good time to take stock and see what I had and what I might be missing. I've broken the resulting list in two parts, by (i.e., works written by CSL himself) and about (books about Lewis and about his works). The first such list shd be reasonably complete, though with all the posthumous re-packaging of Lewis's religious essays I might have missed one or two there. Comments welcome.

Also, note that a few items that cd have been included on this list aren't because I have them shelved elsewhere: ESSAYS PRESENTED TO CHARLES WILLIAMS (ed. CSL, 1947) on the Tolkien shelf and ARTHURIAN TORSO (ed. CSL 1948) w. the Ch. Wms books. And of course now that I've identified the gaps I'll work to fill them in bit by bit; just yesterday I ordered a (print-on-demand, alas) copy of SPIRITS IN BONDAGE, which'll be nice to have. It shd also nudge me to reading some of the CSL books I've never gotten around to, like THE PILGRIM'S REGRESS (which I'm currently trying to read, without so far much success). Note that I've read some of the books I don't have (e.g., A GRIEF OBSERVED, LETTERS TO AN AMERICAN LADY), and that I've never read some of the books I have (e.g. the OHEL volume or the diaries).


Here's the first of those lists.
