Notes:


[1] CD’s 02, 04 and 06 include MP3 Audiobooks of two John Ringo stories _A Ship Named Francis_ and

_Let's Go To Prague_ from the fourth Honor Harrington Anthology _The Service of the Sword_,

as well as the text of these stories.



[2] CD 01 contains the First quarter only (sample chapters) of _March to the Stars_

CD 6b Doesn’t contain the full text of _The Shadow of Saganami_ (The Title Book)

it does include the first SIX chapters as a preview sample – the full book has 60 chapters.

I have chosen to classify these as not containing that book. The Full Book is on CD 09.



[3] Warmasters contains three Novellas from three different universes.

Belisarius, Hammer's Slammers and Honor Harrington, by Eric Flint, David Drake and David Weber.

Note that the Belisarius Novella _ISLANDS_ is interleaved with other text as part of the start of the sixth Belisarius Novel _The Dance of Time_.



[4] Northworld by David Drake - Despite the cover art, this is only volume one of the trilogy.

(Drake has given permission for the Full Text of the Trilogy to be included in the Free Library,

but last time I checked this hadn’t happened yet because Arnold doesn’t have an eText available).



[5] CD 02 and 04 also have a second images folder beneath the “War of Honor CD” folder.

CD 02 also has another image folder beneath the LotA roleplaying game folder.

A JPG of the artwork as printed on the CD is located in the root directory of each of the CDs,

except for the original version of the first CD (as included with the Hardcover).

The original Baen cover art jpg for the first was later added to the Downloads available from Baen and other websites.

Among other sites you can get copies of the CD label cover art here.

http://www.bonham.net.nz/SF/Baen/CD_Cover_Art/index.htm

And a transcript of the words printed on the CD labels here.

http://www.bonham.net.nz/SF/Baen/CD_Cover_Art/BaenCD_label_text.htm



[6] “Requires the use of a Roleplaying Game Core Book published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc.”



[7] Ref “Series By Mercedes Lackey ” http://www.mercedeslackey.com/text/1biblio2.shtml

The “Elves on the Road Universe” includes three series of books “Bedlam Bard”, “Diana Tregarde”, and “The Serrated Edge”



[8] About the CD’s 06b and 7. These were promotional CD’s not included with the Published Hardcover.

Number 7 was numbered and included a version of the full text of the title book

(although it seems to be an earlier version than that available from WebScriptions),

while the CD for _The Shadow of Saganami_ wasn’t numbered and only included the first six chapters of the ‘Title’ Book.

I have chosen to call this CD 6B because it chronologically comes between 6 and 7 and 6B is a short two character number.

Other people have called it other more clever and creative names.

To quote Kevin Pulliam who was kind enough to share it via emule, from where I got my copy —

I have unofficially numbered the un-numbered CD as # 6.022E23 or 6.022 for short.

Why? … it was released between volume 6 and volume 7.

Thirdly (because most things come in threes), because Avogadro’s Number (The number of items in a Mole)

is the first universal or mathematical constant number that popped into my head.”



Audio Book (MP3) Notes:

Times are approximate ( @ 14.4 MB / hour, mono)

_Hell’s Faire_ 125MB in 22 files (one per chapter), 8.7 hours.

_A Ship named Francis_ 11 MB in one file, 47 minutes.

_Lets go to Prague_ 30 MB in one file, 2 hours and eight minutes.

_The Far Side of the Stars_ 168 MB in 35 files, 11.7 hours. Narrated by Corinda Carford.

_There Will be Dragons_ 254 MB in 45 files, 17.6 hours. Narrated by Marty Meyer.



The Audio samples folder on CD’s 2 & 4 include:

Audio samples from 20 books (19 are the same as on Baen’s Website plus Starmind),

Four pieces of Filk, Four Computer synthesised versions of Lois Bujold’s story _Aftermaths_,

Two versions of an anti-Sadam song, two text files, and a Radio Interview with Eric Flint.

CD 01 has a subset of these Audio files.



General notes:


The CD's are included in the First HC printing for numbers 1 to 6, and 8 and 9.

06b and 07 were produced in smaller numbers as promotional items for their ‘Title’ books,

and I gather they were distributed to Book Shop buyers, and to Fans at Cons in the USA.


Those buying the ‘Title’ eBook from Baen's WebScriptions eBook Site can also download the CD-ROM Disk Image ISO's (titles 1 to 6 and 8 and 9).
