There may be some interest in the old Lobsang Rampa books (Tuesday Lobsang Rampa). Some of us read these as children or young adults, and then they went out of print, and we moved on and some of our books moved on to other places. I was first introduced as a young teen, as my parents had an eclectic bookshelf. My sister also enjoyed reading these books and some of her enthusiasm rubbed off on me.
In approximately 2017 I went onto Amazon to see what books were still available, and this is the collection I was able to purchase. Below are the covers, and the publication details for each book. Please note, some of these productions are cheap re-prints of the original versions, but to me the important fact was that the books were available for reading once again. Some of them are compilations of multiple works (some Lobsang Rampa works are quite short, and wouldn't fill a large publication).
Here is a sequential list of the original Rampa books (in date of publication):
The Third Eye, 1956 - The autobiography of a young Tibetan noble Tuesday Lobsang Rampa.
Doctor from Lhasa - 1958 - continuation of the autobiography from 1927.
The Rampa Story - 1960 - completing the autobiographical trilogy.
Cave of the Ancients - 1963 - A story of Lobsang's experiences in the Chakpori lamasery.
Living with the Lama - 1964 - autobiography of the Rampa's Siamese cat, Mrs Fifi Greywhiskers (Lobsang Rampa says he received this telepathically from the cat).
You Forever - 1965 - a book of instruction for those trying to develop psychic powers.
Wisdom of the Ancients - 1965 - A dictionary of esoteric terms
The Saffron Robe - 1966 - Details some of Lobsang's experiences in lamaseries in Lhasa, including meeting the Dalai Lama (the one who wears the saffron robe)
Chapters of Life - 1967 - A book of metaphysics, explaining such concepts as other dimensions, parallel worlds, prophecy and the coming of the world leader.
Beyond the Tenth - 1969 - Question and answer book
Feeding the Flame - 1971 - Answers questions submitted by readers
The Hermit - 1972 - the story of a blind old Tibetan hermit who was abducted by extraterrestrials, who called themselves the Gardeners of the Earth (and gives an account of our ancient origins)
The Thirteenth Candle - 1973 - more stories about Tibet, and information on controversial subjects
Candlelight - 1974 - discussions of such topics as pendulums and religion
Twilight - 1975 - Hollow Earth concept discussed in detail
As It Was - 1976 - condensed version of the author's life, including expanding upon events originally outlined in the trilogy
I Believe - 1977 - The death and after death experiences of a suicide, the book answers many questions about the afterlife
Three Lives - 1978 - Theme of Life after Death in more detail.
Tibetan Sage - 1980 - Rampa's final book in which he returns to his boyhood in Lhasa and describes a hidden cave near Lhasa which contained an alien control centre preserved by suspended animation
Unauthorised or unauthenticated Rampa works:
My Visit to Venus - an anthology of early Rampa writings including a visit to Venus in a spaceship, another look at the subsurface Earth world, and about Ultima Thule
My Visit to Agharta - 2003 - an anthology of (allegedly) newly discovered writings on the inner world of Agharta. The content of these is considered by Karen Mutton to be highly questionable.
Then there are books by Sarah Rampa (his wife in the second half of Rampa's life, after the walk-in), and a book by Sheelagh Rouse, who was his secretary for many years. The famous Siamese cats who lived with the Rampas at the time these books were written are: Miss Ku'ei; Mrs Fifi Greywhiskers; Tadalinka; Cleopatra; Sindi; and Tigerlily who belonged to the Hoskins.
