The order of the series is determined by the publication date of the first hardback editions of each title. Less clear is the pattern of releases and re-releases in paperback form - and occasionally hardback reprints. The checklist below maps the publication as far as can be determined of each iteration of an English Monarchs books and 'Companion' books discussed on this website. These titles are listed below in grey text. As some may be absent, readers are invited to send updates based on copies personally held. All the first hardback releases are known, but there are likely to be paperback releases not recorded in the sources used to compile the information in this website.
