Welcome!
Hello, Floodmss, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Help pages
- Field-by-field guide to entering new publications into the database
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
- Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.
- Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki
Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.
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.
I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:56, 13 February 2022 (EST)

We can only use images from sites that have explicitly given us permission to do so. See ISFDB:Image linking permissions for a list of such sites. You can use try to find an image from an allowed site. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:58, 13 February 2022 (EST)
George Allen & Unwin Australia
Hello,
The publisher you are looking for is actually Allen & Unwin (Australia) - see the notes in that record. We tend not to use the commercial entities (Pty, Ltd and so on) as the sole differentiation of the publisher in the DB - most editors strip them when adding and they make it harder to figure out what is what (thus the (Australia being added here)) - plus they change with time and we have no real way to connect the different entities so we semi-standartize the publisher names. I shifted your book to it. Let me know if you have any questions and welcome to the DB! Annie 21:56, 17 February 2022 (EST)

Hello again,
A few things when adding ebooks:
- All prices need currency symbols - for Australian dollars we use A$
- We do not use the pages field for the ebooks, instead we add the printed length in the notes.
- I added an ASIN and a cover here so that we do not duplicate the record by mistake.
Feel free to replace the cover with a better one - I just added the Amazon one as I as editing because of the price anyway. Let me know if you have any questions. Annie 22:02, 17 February 2022 (EST)
- I added cover to TP using this, https://www.amazon.com/Oceana-Fine-Tom-Flood/dp/0044422814. --Username 10:45, 3 July 2022 (EDT)
