This bibliography is in a nonstandard format to limit pagecount to a reasonable length.

The lone newspaper appearance from Daily Mail Sunday Magazine suggests there may be more Nebel to be found in this form. North West Stories is not completely indexed so expect more stores to surface from this source. Any corrections and additions would be appreciated. This is the first substantial collection of Frederick Nebel in 20+ years, hopefully this and the bibliography will start a resurgence of interest.
