Greetings,

   I've been compiling a Doctor Who ASCII database of book titles, that
includes title, author, publisher, library number (were applicable) *AND*
ISBNs (so that they are available for anyone who needs to order a DW book).
Out of 182 entries in the database, I have these 53 left that I don't have
ISBNs for (spent great deal of time in bookstores lately :-).  I've got
most of the the New Adventures done, except for "Transit", which I haven't
found.  So, I'm asking for help.  If anyone has any of the below mentioned
*Target* paperbacks, or "Transit", please drop me a line if possible.  I
will be making the database available on my DW FTP archive when I've
completed, and will also include some simple "awk" scripts for generating
reports from the database (quite handy, at least in my experience).
   Since I'm at it, I also have a Doctor Who ASCII database of all the
broadcast stories.  This includes title, author, no. of episodes, BBC
production code, viewing sequence, season number, air dates, missing
episodes, etc.  This is a *very* useful tool for reporting DW stuff.  I
generate missing episode lists, video lists, etc. using "awk", or whatever.
This is coming soon as well.

Take care.
