We

Hello and welcome again,

I approved the addition but had to make a few changes:

  • The publisher seems to be Penguin, the Pub series is Vintage Future from all I can find:) However, if the book is stating Vintage as a publisher, please let me know and we will switch to Vintage (UK). Never mind - OCLC and BL agree on Vintage so fixed now. Sorry :)
  • The price format: the currency symbol goes before the price.
  • Cleaned up the Amazon image and Goodreads (all we want is the number).

The result is here. However, I have a question - where is 2007 coming from? GR and Amazon both show 2016 and as far as I know this specific line of paperbacks did not get published until 2015/2016? Thanks! Annie 08:08, 3 February 2021 (EST)

Hi Annie, on the back of the title page it says "First published in Great Britain by Vintage in 2007" but you are right for sure, this date probably refers to another edition. As you say news about this series is around 2016

You can just respond on your own page - once I post, I add it to my Watch list so I will see it. Moved your answer here to keep the conversation together.
Yep, the first published is basically when the title itself was published; the publication date will be when this version was created. I will update the date based on the online dates and add a note. :) Thanks for getting back to me! Annie 14:35, 3 February 2021 (EST)

We - date

I rejected your addition of the date for this edition. Amazon is not really reliable for books that are that old and we already have the 1959 edition with a price of $1.45 and no SBN (as was normal for 1959; the D39 is essentially the same but had not moved to SBN yet). Considering that this one costs significantly more at $3.95 and has a printed SBN (from which we had derived ISBN), it is definitely not the 1959 one but a later printing. Let me know if you have any questions. Annie 08:16, 3 February 2021 (EST)
