NITPICKING: A book entitled The Complete Poems and Plays of T.S. Eliot: 1909-1950 should do a better job of indicating that "1909-1950" is the important part of the title, and that 'Complete' modifies 'Poems,' not 'Poems and Plays.' Alas.

I'm fairly sure that "Complete" doesn't even modify "Poems."

I only got so far as noticing that The Confidential Clerk wasn't included before my apoplexy led me to post. It's enough to send me back to the library.
