Indexer Notes

- Dates—All the of the galactanet e-collection variants are dated as per archive.org. The English Kindle and Audible variants are dated from the ISFDB. The titles of non-English Kindle editions are from Goodreads, but they are all given the same date as the original English release, and we believe this is most likely wrong for an actual release date.
