I will always TRY to start a series at #1. The only time that I do not if I just happen to read a book that i do not realize is part of a series until too late. Then, if I liked the book, I will go out and buy Book 1 of the series and go from there. When I get to the book that I read in the first place, I re-read it to see if it takes on a different look because I would have more of the background. This has happened to me twice before. Doesn't happen too often now because it is pretty easy to search on the internet (fictfact.com).
