Thank you for producing this guide. I recently completed all of the Lives and it was a big help. I'm also enjoying your podcast.
I would note that Penguin's Age of Alexander also contains Eumenes.
You might also mention that Makers of Rome contains Lives that are all included in the other six Penguin volumes, so it's not necessary to purchase this volume if you have the others.
Thanks, great article, the digital version of the whole Loeb Classical library is available on the Harvard University press site, however I do like those little green hardcover books. Loeb volume numbers of the paired sets as an fyi.

Thanks Mason - glad to hear all this. Completing all the lives is a big accomplishment!
Will tinker with this accordingly...
