📄NOTES ABOUT THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT
7
Book information and metadata was first pulled from and cross-referenced between Amazon UK, Amazon US and Worldcat. Additional information has been sourced from the Ann(e)dom (personal copies).
8
Books are listed in a generaly recommended reading order for those new to Anne Lister. This is in no way strict and is used only to make it easy for people to start from the top. Note: The list is still incomplete.
9
Example cover art has been collected (but not organized) in the last sheet for a visual reference. Textual description is in the Cover Art field (as it is easier to identify some books by their cover)
10
An empty field means information has not been entered. A dash (-) indicates information does not exist or is not available.
11
Often the title of a book will be shown differently on Amazon to include certain keywords that are not present in the actual book title (this can be confusing, thus this spreadsheet!)
