BAL: Non-AustLit stuff from Who's Who (not in Kinetica): 'You Go You're Closer : A theatrical biography' (1991) [a monograph; no pubn. details]; and screenplays which seem to be unpublished, again from Who's Who: 'Worth the Risk' (1947); 'Watoto Waleo' (1949); 'Infantryman' (1948); 'Survival' (1951); 'Locust Control' (1951), as well as "numerous other documentary and training films". He has also written a number of scripts for radio and TV. LH 16.02.03. Note that this agent's 'Anthology of North-West Writing', which appears in AustLit, does not appear in Kinetica - no bibli details available for it. Non-AustLit items from Kinetica: 'An ABC of announcing and public speaking', with illustrations by Doug Foley, Perth, W.A. : Artlook Books, c1982. I would guess from the title it's a guide to being a radio announcer, especially considering the agent's bio. So this is non-AustLit anyway, and is more educational than literary. I've also deleted 'A Line on Kalamunda' from AustLit as it is a local history. Details from Kinetica on this one are: 'A line on Kalamunda', compiled and edited by John Harper-Nelson ; with illustrations by Kalamunda and Districts Arts and Crafts Group. East Perth, W.A. :Nine Club ; Kalamunda, W.A. : distributed by Kalamunda and Districts Historical Society, 1978 (reprinted 1989); 'Government and the arts', Perth, W.A. : Australian Institute for Public Policy, 1987; 'Organic gardening : a transcript of a meeting held at Lesmurdie Community Hall', chairman, John Harper-Nelson, [n.p] : [n.p], 1976; 'The Clay brick heritage' [videorecording], Perth, W.A. : Produced for the Clay Brick Manufacturers Assoc. of W.A. by Film Centre Pty Ltd., [198-?] Physical Description 1 videocassette (VHS) (11 min.) : sd., col. ; 1/2 in.

Using his Alt. Writing Name of Ross MacLaine, he co-wrote the script for 'The Next line down', [videorecording], [Western Australia] : Westrail, [1981] LH 17.02.03.
RE Galloping On: As WA holds some vols and it is difficult to disentangle some of the refs to the different eds, DM is working on sighting Vols 1,3,4,5,6,7,8&9 at the Battye Library. NLA has Vol 12 and Kinetica says there are copies of Vol 2 in Vic, NSW & ACT. DM points out that Vol 11 might be a Roman numeral version of Vol 2. Sorry this one is so messy. LH 18.03.03
