Remarks
- ↑ a b c d This volume number is not listed in the German National Library. According to the German National Library, volumes 187 to 191 were published in 1989. Volumes 192 to 195 show the year 1990 as the year of issue, although the information on volume 192 does not contain any information as to whether it belongs to this series. The final volume with the series number 200 bears the imprint note "1989". Such a number allocation practice is not uncommon for book series. Volumes with a higher number appear before volumes with a lower number of volumes for a variety of reasons. It can therefore be assumed that volumes 196 to 199 were not yet finished at the time of the turning point and that the series was discontinued and did not come onto the book market. Entries for these volume numbers are currently (May 2014) also not to be found in any internet platform for antiquarian book offers, although all other volumes from 1989 and 1990 as well as volume 200 are on offer.
