It looks like most of this is a straight copy from this website: [1]. I think the list of titles is from here [2], although I don't think you can copyright just a list.

This is definitely a copy, although at least the author edited it a little. Bart133

Could someone write a paragraph about the "known list of publications"? As far as I'm concerned, the following questions need to be answered:
(1) Who is the author / are the authors of those books? Right now, there is no mention of the fact that they were written jointly, but why?
(2) Are they all novels or do they include theoretical books?
(3) Were they published, i e written for the public?
(4) Are they available today?

If the club was founded in the 1930s, then why was Agatha Christie nearly kicked out of it for a novel she published in 1926? (see the Murder of Roger Ackroyd).

Changed to 1920s as I found another source, and it makes a little more sense. Big D 27 Jan 2006

[edit] Silly Links

I removed the link on "this day" in "continued to this day" because:

  • It linked to 2006.
  • Even if it were fixed to always link to the current year, it is pointless and misleading. Anyone reading the page would, I think, expect the given link to go somewhere discussion the club's existence today, or maybe even its history... but certainly not to an article on (current year).

I removed the link to code of ethics because it was a link to a disambiguation page. Rather than re-pointing it to the correct page, I struck it for similar reasons to the this day link: it'd be expected to be a discussion of the club's code of ethics, not of codes of ethics in general.
