Split Infinity error
My copy of Split Infinity (439074) has an error. Pages 57-88 are replaced with pages 265-296. The pagination is kept. Is this the same in your copy as well?--Auric 15:42, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- No, there doesn't seem to be any such error in mine.--AliHarlow 10:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Gold the Man
Hello, artist was found for your verified pub. Hauck 06:31, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
The Ring of Allaire
Hello, I saw that you already checked your copy of this book here. Another contributor has also a second printing (as per copyright page) here, with the same printing date but a different price. Perhaps is the copyright page effectively wrong and your book is a later printing. What are your thoughts on the matter?. Hauck 18:34, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. I'm certainly no expert but I guess that either a later printing or a simultaneous USA/Canada printing with just the covers differing would explain the data. Of the two, the later explanation seems a little more likely to me. --AliHarlow 15:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Trullion: Alastor 2262
Found this pub on Amazon books, see there. Is that cover shown right? Then I wonder if the artist is not Peter Goodfellow as credited here. --Zapp 12:26, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- Interesting. No, the copy I have has a completely cover which is clearly credited to Steve Crisp on the back cover. I'll try and do a quick scan of the cover for reference purposes this week.--AliHarlow 16:16, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
The Unexpected Dimension

The Night of the Puudly
This pub that you verified. I replaced the Amazon image with a cover scan and revised the pub notes as follows:
- Replace the terse pub note "NEL reissue after two Four Square printings" with a more detailed list of the printing and publishing history from the copyright page
- Mention the missing cover artist credit
- Mention where prices appear
- Re-format the pub notes into a bullet list
Other original information in the pub notes was preserved. Cheers, Patrick -- Herzbube Talk 16:54, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Lyndon Hardy - Magics Series
My copies of Secret of the Sixth Magic and Riddle of the Seven Realms have uncredited Maps at the beginning. Would you like me to add these to the Contents of each? AndyjMo 20:30, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Thanks for being prepared to do the work. Note that the maps are both by Shelly Shapiro (signed near the bottom). If you look at the other editions of both books you will find the maps already listed. It should be possible to import these. --AliHarlow 11:41, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
World of the Alfar
My copies of The Thrall and the Dragon's Heart and The Wizard and the Warlord have maps at the start. Would you like me to include these in your verified records? AndyjMo 16:42, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- That would be great. Please verify them as well. Many thanks. --AliHarlow 18:34, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Dune
Your verified copy of Dune doesn't have cover art. Would you like me to add a scan of mine? --AndyjMo 10:42, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sure. While I do have a scanner this isn't important enough for me to scan all my books, but I know many people really appreciate being able to see the covers.--AliHarlow 05:28, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Lord Tedric: Black Knight of the Iron Sphere

The Artificial Man
I've updated the cover art for The Artificial Man with a scan of my copy. --AndyjMo 14:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Lord Foul's Bane
My copy of Lord Foul's Bane appears to be the first printing 1978 but has a slightly different cover to the one shown (the text at the top is on one line not two). Can you confirm that your cover is as shown in the verified record. If it is I am not sure what the next step is. --AndyjMo 16:40, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- The same question also applies to The Illearth War. --AndyjMo 16:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right. Both Lord Foul's Bane and The Illearth War have a single line of text at the top and not the two lines shown on the existing cover art images.--AliHarlow 11:12, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- I've replaced both covers with scans of my copies. I've also added some notes and a reference to the Maps. --AndyjMo 09:50, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
The Power that Preserves
This time my cover of The Power that Preserves matches your verified record. I have added a reference to the map at the start of the book. --AndyjMo 16:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
The Wounded Land
Do you know where the Month and Cover Artist for The Wounded Land came from? --AndyjMo 17:23, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- No, I'm afraid not.--AliHarlow 11:15, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
Belgarath the Sorcerer
Can you please check your copy of Belgarath the Sorcerer. My copy matches yours but has Special overseas edition 1996 with "1st printing by number line" on the copyright page. I just wondered if yours was printed in the UK and therefore I should create a separate copy. Also Locus1 reckons the cover artist is Roger Taylor. Probably a misprint for Geoff Taylor. --AndyjMo 10:46, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, mine also has the same information on the copyright page (and says it is printed in Glasgow). Can't help you with cover artist.--AliHarlow 11:19, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've updated the notes and added Geoff Taylor as the Cover Artist. --AndyjMo 15:33, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

I've uploaded a new copy of the cover art for The Treasured One and included a note about the map at the start. --AndyjMo 15:44, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

I've added a few extra notes and a reference to the maps for Rage of a Demon King. --AndyjMo 16:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Conjure Wife
My copy of Conjure Wife has a different copyright page to this one. There is no mention of First published April 1943 in Unknown Worlds magazine, mine states First published in the U.S.A. by Twayne Publishers, Inc., 1953. The printing date in my copy states Published in Penguin Books 1969, month is not included. The Back Cover of my copy states "Cover design by Franco Grignani. As he is only credited as the Designer he shouldn't be listed as the Cover Artist. Should I create a clone or should the Notes be changed? --AndyjMo 18:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Dragon's Kin
I've added a few notes to Dragon's Kin. --AndyjMo 17:02, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
