New Book

  • Sequels: An Annotated Guide to Novels in Series (4th ed) by Janet G. Husband and Jonathan F. Husband

FYI: "The fourth edition of Sequels differs from the first three editions in that it was composed online as a database (http://esequels.com). All the authors and series in the first three editions have been retained in revised and updated entries, and many new series created since 1977 have been added. This edition, like previous one, is a joint effort by Janet and Jonathan Husband." - from the Preface
