  • Publication Series: DAW Collectors Pub. Series Record # 1544
  • Webpages: SF Site, Wikipedia-EN
  • Note: Originally given only on the front cover as the "DAW Books No.", the designation was changed in June 1984 with #581 in the series. The number appeared on the cover as "DAW No. ###", and on the copyright page as "DAW Collectors No. ###". DAW's hardcover editions have the number only on the copyright page. DAW's first hardcover publication had no Collectors number, a number was assigned to it only when it was reprinted in paperback. Publications should not be included in this series unless the DAW # is explicitly shown on the cover, spine, or copyright page. For reprint editions that include a DAW #, a note should specify where in/on the book the number is specified. DAW numbers include some conflicts: (i) Two titles with the same (apparent) number; and (ii) publications with one number on the cover and another on the copyright page. The sfsite Web page listed above attempts to correct the DAW numbers to the apparent intended number; we list the number as specified in the book, even if that is obviously an error. (If there are different numbers on the cover and copyright page, we use the "correct" number, with a note about the conflict.) Discrepancies in the DAW numbers are shown below, although the sfsite web site above disagrees with us on some of the resolutions of the conflicting numbers. The "conflicts with" column lists the book that appears to be the correct owner of that DAW number.

    This accounts for all DAW numbers up to 1655 except for:
    • #1190: Vaporware; never published. Would have been Gene Roddenberry's Xander in the Lost Universe.
    • #1556, 1582, 1618, 1645: As of 2014-07-01, no books have been released with these numbers, and Amazon has no "forthcoming" books that could be these, unless they are being used for reprint editions.
    Review of the books after 1655 is under way.
