Romano, I believe you are making my point.

Absolutely! My followup question would be... What number other than zero could you rationally choose to represent the offset of the first book? I would say there is none, regardless of the fact that there is nothing preventing you from choosing any other number. So repeat after me: ...the index of a series is an index, not a count... ...the index of a series is an index, not a count... ...the index of a series is an index, not a count... ...the index of a series is an index, not a count... ...the index of a series is an index, not a count... ...the index of a series is an index, not a count... Hey... it's going to take a while to get rid of that other brainwashing we've all been exposed to ;-)) Cheers, Ken.
