All in the book?

[joehempel]

Just curious if all of the stories/easter eggs etc are all in the books, and in the order intended to be read in?  I'm getting confused by all the content. 

Currently on Season 1, Book 2

Don't feel bad! The writers get confused, too. 

All of the stories are in the books. I think all of the easter eggs are there, too, but I can't swear to that. However, there are a lot of LiveJournal posts that aren't in the books--only the ones that seem most important to plot developments are included.

Hey Will, do you have a global table of contents for the extant ebooks? I was just thinking that a good addition to the reading order page would be a column showing which books contain which bits. Before I go digging through the individual books for their contents I thought I'd ask.

I wish I did, but I don't. Sorry. I think most of the rearranging for the sake of the ebook experience is in the first four ebooks or so; of late, the ebooks and online versions are pretty much in sync. (What made things challenging were the LJ entries. For the ebooks, it seemed to make most sense to include them chronologically in terms of story rather than by the dates they appeared on LJ.)

I followed this fairly faithfully:

I am *extremely* grateful to the people who have been keeping that up to date. Ten million thank-yous!

awesome! Thanks for the help!  I'm going to stick with the books for now, dig into the web site stuff after I get through all 12....maybe a 13th will be out by the time I get through them lol.
