RALPH has two Tables of Contents floating around in hyperspace at this time.

There's the Modest TOC and then there's the Gargantuan TOC. Both include all our listings and all our issues from 1994 to the present.

The Modest TOC is the more colorful (and modest) one, but it's a house with many rooms. It lists all of the books reviewed --- plus articles, readings, and poems --- in your standard table format.

It's broken into 20 or so parts for faster down-loading for those of you with older, wood-burning computers. For Reviews, it includes the following:

• Title of Book
• Author
• Publisher
• Subject

For Articles, Readings, and Poetry, it is divided up into:

• Title
• Author
• Type
• Subject

You can access the appropriate year (or half-year) below. Once you call up the particular year (or half-year), click on the Number of the Issue (eg, Issue #124), to access the home page you are looking for.

The Gargantuan Table of Contents contains most the above, but squashed into three elephantine electronic pages. The first two do not include links.

Using your computer's search do-dad, it's possible to do a complete search for titles, authors, publishers, and subjects.

If you call up

The Fat TOC #1 - #99

or

The Fatter TOC #100 - #149

or

The Fattest TOC #150ff

you'll find everything in a robust, Tubby the Tuba format --- suitable for a universal search.

For example, in "The Fat TOC," to search for James Agee, type his name in your computer's search thingie and it should turn up Issue # 65, the location of our review of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. You can then find the full text of the review by calling up the issue of RALPH listed in italics at the head of that particular section.
