I have removed Count Eric Stenbock from the list of authors who have appeared within the pages of the Yellow Book. While Stenbock did indeed submit some of his writing to the Book (one confirmed of these is his play La Mazurka Des Revenants, of which the rejection letter can be viewed in the Durtro pressing released in 2002), he was never published within it.
