The format I'm reading is epub. For some reason the epub version doesn't have a table of contents (because if you read it in adobe reader the contents are permanently shown on the left)and the stories aren't in alphabetical order of title, as I originally thought, but in some completely random order. The pdf, lit and mobi versions have a contents page and the stories are in alphabetical author order.<br /><br />How strange that they've arranged the epub version completely differently to the other formats.Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-76416628398565218252010-09-23T07:44:26.925-04:002010-09-23T07:44:26.925-04:00I received one LARGE file Jen and the table of con...I received one LARGE file Jen and the table of contents has them in the order I read them. That's kind of strange that they would have them differently in another version, but mine is a review copy from the pub so maybe it's different? Not sure.

You and I are reading from different points in the anthology, I think, and the only one of yours I've read so far is <i>Winston Quirk</i>. I kind of know what you mean with it.
