The second link, to Orions website is broken, but I cannot find a suitable replacement on their redone page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.224.28.253 (talk) 20:30, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Future updates

After much cross-checking and research, I've completed the numbered paperbacks table and set up a 'new design' table. For anyone editting this in the future, I suggest keeping the style similar to the SF Masterworks page.

See my post on the SF Masterworks talk page for how I finished this table and where to go to find info on future releases. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckrauser (talk • contribs) 08:09, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A note on collections...

I'm making this post to try and clear some things up about collections. I used the general guideline of having the original publication be the range of years from the earliest published story to the latest, unless the collection was published previously. This is something that might want to get changed in the future so all the stories are from their original publications before being included into any collections, but it might be a case-by-case basis.

i.e. With Time and the Gods, the earliest publication was The Gods of Pegāna in 1905, and the latest, The Last Book of Wonder, in 1916. However, with The Book of the New Sun, Volume 1: Shadow and Claw, I chose 1983.

While on this example, I should mention that books such as The Gods of Pegāna can be tricky, since it was not published in it's complete form until 1972 in another collection. In these cases, I would go for the earliest publication.

Then there are collections for which information on publication can be hard to find, such as The Mark of the Beast and Other Fantastical Tales, or The Conan Chronicles Volumes. If incomplete information was available, I just chose the date of original publication to be the same as the masterworks publication.
