Did the New Essential Chronology have a timeline in the back?

    I stopped collecting the Essential Guides right before the "New" line started, but my favorite was always The Essential Chronology because of the handy timeline of books included in the back. Obviously, there are far superior sources available online now (Nathan Butler's Star Wars Timeline Gold, Rob Mullins's Expanded Universe Chronology, etc.), and now just about every novel and comic includes an abbreviated timeline with it. In light of all this, did they even bother including one in the NEC?

    The NEC does have a timeline, but unfortunately it does not state which sources each section is derived from. So you get the layout, but it doesn't tell you if this came from a book, game or comic.

    Yeah, that's what I meant. After a bit of searching, I think I just realized why they didn't include one: this online supplement effectively takes its place. Too bad they didn't update it as time went on.
