"묶음 1"은 Ithaka O.의 이미 출판된 단편 소설들의 연대순 모음집이다. 각각의 이야기들은 따로 따로도 제공되며, 개별 커버와 줄거리 설명을 갖고 있다. 각 이야기가 어떤 느낌인지 알고 싶다면, 검색해 보는 것이 도움이 될지도 모른다. 하지만 이 모음집에도 기능이 있다. 가장 대표적으로는, 페이퍼백 버전 때문에 존재한다. 어떤 단편 소설들은 너무 짧아서 홀로 페이퍼백이 되지 못하고, 다른 이야기들과 모일 수밖에 없다. 그런데 그러한 페이퍼백 버전을 만들자, 전자책 버전도 만들지 않을 이유가 없었다. 그러면 독서 기기에 여러 출판물을 담기보다는 하나의 모음물이 있는 것을 선호하는 독자들에게 도움이 될 테니까. 요약하자면: 취향 따라 고르면 된다. 개별적으로 출판된 단편 소설이 좋을 수도 있고...
