About Books By Order

Books By Order is a reading-order reference site: one guide per author, listing their books in publication order so you can start a series in the right place. The site currently covers more than 4,800 authors across over 5,000 reading-order guides, from household names to midlist and indie writers.

Who runs this site

Books By Order is owned and operated by Noshu, LLC, a small independent publisher of reference websites. It is not affiliated with any book publisher, author, or retailer.

How the guides are put together

Each guide lists an author's books with their original publication years, compiled from publicly available bibliographic and publisher catalog information and organized by publication date - publication order is the default, verifiable reading order we present. Guides are periodically corrected when readers point out gaps or errors.

How the site makes money

Books By Order is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Links to Amazon on our guides are affiliate links: if you buy something after clicking one, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is the site's only monetization - there are no paid placements, and authors and publishers cannot pay to be included or ranked.
