The situation is even more grave.
Tery Pratchett, for example, is represented by "The discworld series".
The Discworld has at the moment some 37 books (not counting maps (4 books by Terry Pratchett), science books (another three), quiz books (TWO more! OMG!), ANOTHER nine Discworld theme books (like The Discworld Portfolio, The Discworld Companion, Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, ...) and "Where is my cow"**), so it is some 2036, possibly even 2050 now!

** Do not be scared, THAT one is a picture book - the one that Samuel Vimes reads it to his son.
