[edit] New and significantly revised articles: April 2006

• Ace Books modified to point to a set of new sub-lists by title. Have created the following sublists:
  • D/G/S-series.
  • G-series.
  • F-series.
  • M-series.
  • H-series.
  • K-series.
  • A- and N-series.
  • Numbered series.

I have also created a bunch of other list targets -- see Ace Books for details. Those are not yet created.

I plan to work on the K, A and N sections for a bit longer and try to get them up to date before I then sort them into the other sublists; there will be substantial title overlap and I want to make all the corrections in one place and sort them last. Note this also means that the existing List of Ace Titles and List of Ace Double Novels should be deleted; I'll have to figure out how one does that, if nobody disagrees with this organization. (Added by User:Mike Christie)

Nice job! Don't worry about deleting the exisitng lists, we will just change them to redirects :) Ahasuerus 23:22, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
