But how can you check a whole collection on online lists? Also, in the online shop you mention I know you cannot browse inside the whole text.

In the bookstore I rely on, I can check all that was published by single publishers in single series - the latest publications and the history of the specific editorial effort. There in front of me, from #1 to #789, with some gaps. Online?

But, also see my reply to ZodWallop on top, given that of course your effort is economical, you have limited time but so much to experience, welcome - what about having a proper idea of what you are offered, for taking your choices and priorities? In economical and procedural terms, "explore/exploit". You may want to see tentatively all that is available, have a way to do that. (And also, as written, to check the book completely.)
