The old pages did not number these, so they are listed in the order they were recovered in. The numbers down the left are this list counting, not part numbers from the column itself.

Reading a column

Some longer works were published a part at a time, over several issues. A novel might run to eight or ten parts. This site keeps them together.

The bar at the top of a part tells you which work you are reading and how far through it you are, for example "Part 3 of 8". Tapping Contents in that bar shows you the whole list.

At the foot of a part there are two cards, one for the part before and one for the part after, each showing its title so you know what is coming. On a phone there is also a small bar along the bottom of the screen with Previous, Contents and Next, so you never have to scroll back up to move on.

The contents page lists every part in reading order, numbered. That order is the order they were written in, not the order of their dates: some parts have no recorded date at all, and where a date does exist it is the date of the magazine rather than the place of the part in the story.
