Why don't book publishers make it easy to find out which number a book is in a book series?...it is like having to ferret out a secret mystery......

I don't recall that ever being much of a problem. Normally the series is listed in order at the beginning of the book, as part of the author's listed works. Some series will say which book it is on the cover, too.

Have you looked at books lately? I have tried a couple of series in different genre of fiction, and not one of them listed the number of the book in the series.....

First, why are you still reading those Dr Ruth Westheimer books?![]()
Haha...I don't.How do you know I am not Dr. Ruth?
On the inside of every book, before you get to the first chapter, they list the publishing dates. You want to look for the original hardcover publishing date, it will say something along the lines of, "Originally published in hardcover in September 2001", or something similar. It's on that same page you would find, if it's the paperback and a later edition, the original title of the book if it has been changed for some reason. I've only seen that a couple of times...

My best guess is that the publisher assumes that people are less likely to buy a book that is a sequel if they haven't already read the earlier works.Do you have any examples?Why don't book publishers make it easy to find out which number a book is in a book series?...it is like having to ferret out a secret mystery......

Brad Thor....another one......try to find out the order of his books without googling them.... and a few others.....

Why not just put "Book 2" on the front cover?
