A Study in Scarlet (1887), The Sign of Four (1890) and A Scandal in Bohemia (1891) are among the catalogued titles. The Lost World (1912) introduced Professor Challenger and gave its name to a subgenre of speculative fiction. Doyle also produced over 200 stories and articles, four volumes of poetry and stage works, and was knighted in the 1902 Coronation Honours. The Captain of the Polestar (1883) is the earliest catalogued title.

Arthur Hailey built plot-driven novels on the workings of whole industries, hospitals and medicine among them. 11 catalogued books span 1958 to 1997, from Flight into Danger, also published as Runway Zero-Eight, to Detective (1997). Hotel and Airport, published in 1965 and 1968, then Wheels in 1971, The Moneychangers in 1975 and Overload in 1978, are the best-selling titles; Hailey's books have sold 170 million copies in 38 languages. Hailey, a British-Canadian writer born in 1920, died in 2004, and the catalogue is likely complete.
