Indexer Notes

(2)
  1. 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.
  2. Debut — Based on data at archive.org, we believe  the e-collection version was posted on the same date (15 August 2009) as the Kindle release date given at the ISFDB, but we don’t know for sure, and we have listed the e-collection as the debut.
