Almost as rare were "A plus" novels: He Could Here Slipped, by Frances Beeding, Murders Force Fours, by David Hume, and The Happy Highwayman, by Leslie Charteris, were the only ones unearthed. The majority of the books received some variety of "A" or "B", however, and students who have read portions of the Reisner collection...
