The Andersons-Volume 5–Nothing But The Facts–Preface

My Anderson Fictional Saga has been a work of love. It started as just a single volume, and has now ballooned into a five-volume colossus. On two separate occasions, I have had to cut my book short due to the length constraints of the Amazon KDP program. In case you are wondering the limit is 550 pages. In Volume Three, I had to relocate the Appendices to the previously published Volume Two. With Volume Four, I had to not only eliminate the Appendices but also reduce the font pitch from 14 to 13. Now that I have filled up Volume Two, I still have a problem: where to put all the information I have gleaned during my research phase? The only option I had before me was to publish a dedicated volume just for the Appendices. Now I had to re-edit my second volume and remove all the extra parts I had added, so that I could move them to another volume. With all of this work, I now have ample room for all my appendices.

I know I am a nut case, I should have just discarded the extra parts. The problem is that I am an individual afflicted with OCD. I couldn’t do it. I hope you find the information included in this fifth volume helpful. It is meant to be used as an addendum while you read the first four volumes, from which you can refer back when you have a question about various facts.
