I don't care if a series of novels is published in chronological order or not. The Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell wasn't but he provides a list on his website that lists the whole series in chronological and publication order. The chronological order is nice, but you can't be sure if you're starting at the beginning as the author might publish a book before the "first" one.

What I want publishers and authors to provide is to clearly mark when books are part of a series and which book is the first published in the series. I pick up books all the time from the library that seem interesting only to get home and find out that it's the third in a trilogy. It might be a great series of books. I might never know because I won't remember to look later. I have stacks and stacks of books to read. By the time I get around to looking for something new to read I'll have forgotten about that series.

There are sites like Fantastic Fiction that will list the books in a series in order. I don't have a web browser wired in my head yet. Is it too much to ask them to note if a book is part of a series and which is the first published book in the series?
