Talk:Very Short Introductions

message: I don't see how this is any more of an "advertisement" than any of the other semi-gushing articles on book series in Wikipedia. Sure, it's promoting them, but just writing an article is promoting it in a sense. Again, look at any of the others and explain to me how they're different. BTW, I wrote the original article and I'm not on the payroll of Oxford. Revolver 05:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Where are these numbers being sourced from? Neither the web or print publication dates listed on the OUP site match up with the ones in this article. 2602:306:C4CB:4B40:9AFC:11FF:FECD:BFAC (talk) 15:12, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Every book has a number printed on its spine, which is unfortunately not listed on the official website. Some titles also have the complete numbered list published so far printed at the very end, which you can find on Amazon preview or google book preview. Zen Light (talk) 07:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Advertisement? List? Noteworthy?

message: The list of titles now has over 700 items. Any objections if I split this to a separate article? cagliost (talk) 10:34, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: For Dummies?

message: The published volumes following "poststructuralism" are: Mark Katz: Music and Technology / Carrie Menkel-Meadow: Negotiation / Daniel P. Todes: Ivan Pavlov / Luke Russell: Evil / Angela E. Douglas: Microbiomes, they are missing. I'm for deleting not published volumes (only announced) in the actual  list, at least for the years following 2022. There are book-projects in this series who were announced but never published and the announced date of publishing is often postponed (escpecially dates like 2025).--Claude J (talk) 18:45, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, was going to come and mention these missing titles. Is there anywhere we can fit these missing titles and is there a reliable source for the numbering order? There also appear to be two Poststructuralism books by Catherine Belsey in the list, at 073 and 713. Is there a reliable source we can use to confirm the correct numbering?
