| ------- | |
| i do have to say that the books MUST be read in the order they came out | |
| no, i'm not takling about the trade volumes, i'm talking about the individual comics (issues 1-75) | |
| i'm pretty sure that the absolute volumes are presented in order of the issue release | |
| normally i wouldn't think that reading the trades in order would be a bad idea, but i'm pretty sure that Fables & Reflections (volume 6) just collected a bunch of loose stories and threw them all together...i could be wrong though | |
| ...and i looked it up, heres the reading order if you can't get a hold of the single issues or the absolute version | |
| issues 1-8 (collected in Preludes & Nocuturnes) | |
| issues 9-16 (collected in The Doll's House) | |
| issues 17-20 (collected in Dream Country) | |
| issues 21-28 (collected in Season Of Mist) | |
| issue 29 Thermidor (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issue 30 August (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issue 31 Three Septembers and a January (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issues 32-37 (collected in A Game of You) | |
| issue 38 The Hunt (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issue 39 Soft Places (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issue 40 The Parliament of Rooks (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| Sandman Special 1 The Song of Orpheus (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issues 41-49 (collected in Brief Lives) | |
| issue 50 Ramadan (found in Fables & Reflections) | |
| issues 51-56 (collected in Worlds End) | |
| issues 57-69 (collected in The Kindly Ones) | |
| issues 70-75 (collected in The Wake) | |
| ------- | |
| It also looks like there is a [collection called Endless Nights](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman:_Endless_Nights) THat takes place after the series. |

Hi, this is interesting info, but I think it's fine to read the Fables and Reflections as a collection all in one go and in the order they are collected. They are all one-off stories that take place at different times and across time after all. But perhaps I'm missing some continuity or important progression?
