A question about this series. I've got quite a few myself and I got very confused while adding these to my collection. (I thought they were numbered wrongly, but now I understand where the issue numbers come from)
There's two numbers on every HC, one for the issue number (the order in which they were released) is only found on a removable sticker that's on the outside of the cover. There's no further mention of issues inside the HC's. So once you remove the outer plastic you'll never be able to relate your HC issue to the number offered in the database. Also on your shelf you'll never have them in issue number order.
Then there's the number that's on the spine of each book, the order in which they will make you the nice picture that's on the volume page.
It's much easier to find the issues you're looking for if the number that's on the spine of the book is listed also, (either as the 'issue number' - this would make them the easiest to find, or as the 'issue name' just before the actual title of the HC). Posting the spine number as issue number will also have the advantage of making the list in reading order (like Astonishing X-Men Gifted =36 and Astonishing X-Men Dangerous =37).
