These series, as defined by the publishers, are a bit different to those used by fans, mostly because they are avoiding any overlap. {{E}} is getting a new audiobook, but not a print edition. {{TLH}} is not being published in this edition at all, presumably because of difficulties with the very specific format (though it has been an audiobook before).
