You're right, of course: "A tale of two clocks" isn't about Telzey.
I recall a book, called "The Telzey toy," that is.  Again, it isn't
possible for me to vouch for the title.  It's not that I'm guessing
at something of which I've only heard.  I've seen the books.  I have
the books;  I even know where they are.  In the garage.  With several
thousand others.  All the space I want to fill with shelves for books
is otherwise occupied.  Wife.  Son.  Daughter.  Strong protagonists all.
And all with their own books.  Now we are staking claims to son's room
after he leaves for school.  I've offered him shelf space, and he can
sleep in the garage when he comes home.

Perhaps this explains my vagueness about titles.  I dislike to post
guesswork, but circumstances prevent the precision I prefer.  What
does jayembee do?  Catalogs occupy less space than the books themselves,
but are in many ways less satisfying.  Jerry, do you actually have
all those books at your fingertips?  In your house?  If so, can I
sleep in your garage?
