no place had ones i needed to read or buy so i was forced to read them out of order. than you Have Piers Anthony's Xanth Series around that time i think it was ? i on a lark picked up part 10 Vale of the vole from (1987) and i was looking at the artwork loved it and on a lark i thought why not?
so i got that out of the Library and in one weekend i read the entire thing and LOVED IT!
so i read them from Part 11 Heaven Cent and from than on i read some of them in order and when i was able to find the earlier ones i read those too. right now i have no idea who the current characters are so
i decided to start over from the beginning and right now i'm on the 3rd book i believe. so i have a long way to go. but when it comes to series i do try to read them in order for the to make any sense, oh sorry for the ramblings

That was one of the major issues with picking up older series back before ebooks. There are a lot of series that I've read out of order because of that. I think that I picked up the Sharpe series in book 3. The Hornblower series was similar.
