Spencer's A. E. van Vogt book list

I've been reading a lot of van Vogt. Here's a list of his books I have and their copyright dates, with the books in no particular order. Well, OK, they're in a particular order: the order they're stacked in on a nearby bookshelf or shoved into a box in the attic.
