Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

Beyond Rue Morgue
Hi Delage, good job on your submission of Beyond Rue Morgue, which I've accepted with a couple of alterations and a couple of questions for you. As you have done a primary verification I'm assuming you have a copy of the book.
- I changed the binding type from "Paperback" to "pb", which is the standard code for entering standard-size paperbacks, however Amazon has the size as 20.1cm in height, which would make it a 'trade paperback', or "tp". Which would you think it is?
- Titan Books publications often have UK and US prices displayed, and Amazon has a UK list price of £7.99. Does this appear on the book alongside the US price? If so, you can add information like this to Note field as "Also priced £7.99".
- Regarding the cover image, at the moment ISFDB does not have permission from Titan Books to source images from their website, so I have replaced it with the image from Amazon, who have given us permission to do so.
- Your publication date of "2013-07-26" matches Amazon's date, however Titan Books' webpage for the publication has a date of 2013-08-01. A publisher's date will always trump an online seller's date, on the basis of it being somewhat more reliable. It's also worth noting in the Note field where the stated publication date information comes from, and if there is a date present on the copyright page of the book itself, always use that in preference to any other source.
Full details on all the above points (including how to link Amazon images) can be found in the New Pub help screen, which I'm sure you've already referred to. Thanks for contributing. PeteYoung 04:14, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
