None of these three/four is prepared to acknowledge the existence of the others: indeed going back to my previous post I have FOUR different (in order, not fully) lists if you go by order.*
*For the paranoid these are Goodreads, FF, Gadetection and "BooksinOrder"
Not at all helpful to the series collector: great email recently arrived. ( 4 weeks ago from Agora books - - WHO??) "here's a free ARC of the newest Inspector Littlejohn book."
Err...Oh Yeah? .... it's actually #42 and I've read many around it on both sides up to #53! I know they are republishers from an author who died in 1982, but that's not the point!
Oh well, I suppose you can't expect Microsoft to advertise the latest offerings from Apple . . . . . . .

That's the most frustrating author I've found for trying to get the series in order.
I have a Calibre column for year first published (although that's not always totally reliable either). I send that to my ereaders as part of the title. It's mostly useful for non-series books but for series like Inspector Littlejohn I've given up on series order and just set them all as number zero in the series so they sort by year instead.
