I haven't read any of these, but I do own a signed copy of The Glorious Adventure that I pulled out of the free pile at a yard sale. Apparently they aren't that rare -- one of the ways Halliburton financed his travels was to go on book tours, lecturing and selling autographed copies of his books. My mother and brother liked his writing, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

Elmer Gantry for me. I thought I'd at least heard of all of Edith Wharton's books, but I wasn't even a tiny bit aware of Twilight Sleep.

Twilight Sleep was also the nickname for a type of anesthesia that's now not been used in over 40 years. I wonder if there's a relationship.

The Jalna series by Mazo de la Roche were a quite popular series of family chronicle / historical novels set in Canada. I read one, and that was enough for me, but the whole set goes over 100 or 150 years.

I'm reading a book called Brainiac by Jeopardy winner Ken Jennings at the moment in which he discusses the concept of trivia, as in Trivial Knowledge. He mentions how one of the first books of trivia was Ask Me Another! and I remember acquiring it - although no doubt a much later edition - at a church fete. My parents were both general knowledge buffs so many pleasant evenings were spent doing quizzes from the book.

George A. Birmingham had Ships and Sealing-Wax (touchstone can't find it) published in 1927. His novels were published on both sides of the Atlantic.
