This author's page hasn't yet been completed: only the p/bs are listed so far.
The order in which planned-but-unwritten - and even unplanned - bits get written, is a combination of "organic growth", my own personal whim - and customers' requests: so, if there's any particular author's work, or any particlular series of books, or any particular role-playing game you'd like me to list my stock of, next thing i do, please do e-mail me, on v$imt$v at my domain, i-m-t.demon.co.uk, to tell me so.

i don't know anyone who's read the uncut ("unexpurgated") edition, to compare the two, who could tell whilst reading it what had been cut; yet the uncut edition is about one-third (some 60,000 words - as much as many an entire sf novel) longer than the cut version. i suppose i'll get around to reading it, one of these decades...
