If I remember correctly, early on you could purchase just one of the editions rather than the set. When that was the case I think it had to be split.

[Brian James Freeman]

Huh, I didn't even know it was ever supposed to be "non-sequential". Makes much more sense this way.

Very good decision to switch to sequential rather than odd vs even. That was Kate's idea, wasn't it??? Come on. Confess!!

[Martin]

I have the same memory about the odd and even years. I also did not realize the books are not set up that way.

I seem to recall when this project was first announced that the stated intention was to have all the stories from the odd numbered years in one volume and the evens in the other, so that there was a split of old and new in each book. It appears now the stories from 1901-1950 are in one book and 1951-2000 in the other. Any particular reason for this change, or am I mis-remembering?

Thanks, Jason

You remember correctly! We mentioned this years ago, but we changed it fairly early on in the project based on feedback from readers. These are going to be *big* books, and the idea of having to flip from book to book to read the stories in order was not desirable to everyone we heard from.
