Yet I remember all the stories, some just from the title, others just a few paragraphs in, and that's rare ...
This is part of a series I loved in my teens that was published from the 1970s through the 1980s, and I don't believe any are in print. I find that a shame.

As usual things are not to to be taken at face value.I knew I'd like this book from the outset, because who can deny that Tasha and Data were two of ...
