| Publication Date | 
| This lists the novels in order 
      by their publication dates. This does mix up series as many new series were 
      started while old ones were still finishing up. If a book was released more 
      than once, or in hardcover and paperback, I placed it where it originally 
      came out and did not include the other editions. This will give you the best picture of how Dragonlance has evolved over the years. |
