:According to the ToC, it could be p. 570 of the book. I found some discussion of this gambit in another of his books, ''Unorthodox Chess Openings'' (p. 201-202), which I sent you via wikimail. It is a very short fragment but maybe it will help. [[User:Szmenderowiecki|Szmenderowiecki]] ([[User talk:Szmenderowiecki|talk]]) 00:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

For [[Draft:Boy Without a Name|Draft:''Boy Without a Name'']], about a 1975 historical children's book by [[Penelope Lively]]. (''Boy'' was a title I've long fondly recalled from my primary-school youth in Dominica; I even taped a black-and-white xeroxed cover upon the drawing-room walls of my old suburban home there.) Although BNA is a [[WP:Library]] partner, I don't have access yet.

:::{{tl|resolved}} ...but unfortunately, what's in there ultimately amounts to a one-line mention (as part of a guide to books in this title's vein), thus falling way short of [[WP:SIGCOV]] and no longer under consideration for this draft. However, our efforts didn't go to waste here as that same page contains more substantial writeups that these topics may benefit from (in order of mention):

:::* ''[[The Land Unknown (book)|The Land Unknown]]'' ([[Kathleen Raine]])

:::* ''[[The Good Listener (novel)|The Good Listener]]'' ([[Pamela Hansford Johnson]])

:::* ''[[I Sent a Letter to My Love]]'' ([[Bernice Rubens]])

:::* ''[[Skirmish (novel)|Skirmish]]'' ([[Douglas Lockhart (author)|Douglas Lockhart]])

:::* ''[[Edinburgh: The Story of a City]]'' ([[E.F. Catford]])

:::* ''[[The Glory and the Dream]]'' ([[William Manchester]])

:::* ''[[Elizabeth and the Sealed Knot]]'' ([[Doreen Cripps]])

:::At press time, all but one of these books aren't represented on WP--but thanks to the serendipity that has ensued, that could change over the coming months. All the same, @[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]], thanks for your assistance!

::::@[[User:Slgrandson|Slgrandson]]: My pleasure. That happens to me from time to time – a source I requested doesn't have much of what I'm looking for, but it has other useful information that I can use. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]][[User talk:Bruce1ee|^''talk'']] 12:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

For [[Andrew Jackson and the slave trade in the United States]]

ProQuest only offers the citation (I think?) Project MUSE only has the last five years of issues. I think I'll probably just have to email USM Libraries but I thought I'd post it in here since you guys are so darn resourceful.
