Despite what the Amazon product description says, when it downloaded to my Kindle it did not have a table of contents.  For 18 books, this is very annoying.  I was also disconcerted that the books are not in chronological order.  It was discouraging to read 1 book where Allan died, and then one of the very next books describes him as a young man.  I would have hoped whoever formated this book would have taken the time to find out the chronological order, and then put these books in that order.  It only took me less than 2 minutes to go to wikipedia.org, search for Allan Quatermain and that article listed the chronological order.  Whoever formatted this must not have been a fan of either the character or the author.  But as far as the actual books, Mr. Haggard was a splendid writer, and I did enjoy the read.  If not for the bad formating, I would have rated this collection 5 stars.
