What I'd like to know is, where's the best place to put these TOCs - shall I just start a new thread somewhere and list the lot?

Also, about the cover scans...admittedly, I'm useless at this sort of thing. I'm happy to give it a go, but is there some kind of 'ultimate idiot's guide to posting cover scans' that means even I can't screw it up?

Demonik's away at the moment, Alan, so I'll try to answer at least the image posting query - a question that turns up often here.

First you need to get a free photo hosting site. Photobucket is popular. The image below is of my Photobucket site. On the right of the cover scan, you can see a row of code slots. The one you want for Boards like this one is highlighted at the bottom.

When you've uploaded your scan and clicked on it, it takes you to a page like this. Then you select the code slot and it should automatically copy to memory.

Then when you open your 'reply' or 'post thread' window here, all you need to do is press CONTROL V together, to paste that code into it. Here's a picture of this place with the code pasted in.

When you post, the image appears.

If a thread for your book exists, you can add additional information to it with a reply.

If you can't find it, start a new thread.

If there could be a better place for it, Demonik can move your post later.

I think there's probably a Fontana Ghost 4 thread here - hang on, you mean the Cynthia Asquith/Timperley series. But I didn't realise there were three different books with the When Graveyards Yawn title.

Oh, just seen it's Churchyards, not Graveyards.

It's getting late!

Thanks for that, Calenture. It all sounds straightforward enough...

Anyway, I'll take care of the easy bit first, typing up the TOCs so I can cut & paste them once I'm ready to post - that I know I can do! Then I'll tackle Photobucket and the scans.

Photobucket & the Scans - is it just me, or would that be the worst name ever for a band?

I once heard of a band called Jetsom, Flotsam, and Scrotum.
