I've just realised my blunder in trying to understand 37a, even after Ginge and Mattrom explained it to me - for some reason, and with this clue only, I was treating it like an extra letter had to be removed before solving instead of after. The fact that this has only just now dawned on me is a tad concerning 🤔

Okay, already hit a snag with the working titles. For the 2nd author's work I can see 2 options for the last two letters of the title as they both appear in the same 2 columns as the other letters - 2 above and 2 below?

Hi Bren,
they'll sit on the shelves.

Thanks Ginge, I've sent you an email.

Finished 😀

Nothing short of staggering that Harribobs managed to get so much into so small a space - outstanding!

Please can anyone help with the parsing of two clues;
18d Aware of international drama, we all came back to town (4, two words)
32d Change one’s mind about German philosopher (5)

I’ve completed the grid but just can’t see how to parse these two and it’s driving me mad!

Hi puzzledom,
18d i (International + no + (tow)n; [we all came] extra
32d G (German) in wheel; w extra

that should read; i (International) + no (drama: Japanese) + ...

Thank you ginge. I don’t know why I couldn’t see it, they weren’t amongst the hardest clues!

Ginge, belated thanks for your very kind offer at #8. I did get hold of a copy, and concur it was a splendid puzzle.
