Can you help me to acquire these texts?
Perhaps you own a nice scanner and are prepared to devote a little time to making even more great literature available to the world; or maybe you have contacts, or sources that I am unaware of.
Whatever, here is a small selection of the Burgomeister's Most Wanted...
