Welcome!

Hello, Siznax, 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:

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! BLongley 20:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


Morrow's The Cat's Pajamas

What is the source of the 2004 date that you added to this record? It appears that the hardcover was printed that year and that the trade paperback wasn't published until 2006. The incorrect ISBN, I believe, is what differentiates this record from the other tp printing, but it's possible they're the same printing. Do you have a copy of the book in hand? Thanks.

yes, i have a copy in hand, isbn: 1892391406, copyright 2004. does that help? Siznax 08:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Siznax
Is there an actual stated date of publication? (Copyright year is not the year of publication and should not be used to date the book.) Does the ISBN on the copyright page match the ISBN printed on the cover? Thanks. Mhhutchins 17:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm going to reject the submission as it appears your dating was based on the year of copyright. If you feel this is an error, please contact me on my user talk page. Thanks. Mhhutchins 17:28, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
ok, sounds good - sorry for the late response. that's correct, i was going by the copyright date. i thought since i had the book in hand, i might be able to supply a publication date, but it's true, the ISBN on the copyright page (1892391155) does _not_ match the ISBN on the cover(1892391406).

Second Variety (collection)

oops, gave the wrong image URL. should be... http://www.flickr.com/photos/uflinks/4956468510/

We can't link to Flickr. Please find the image on one of the sources listed here or scan and upload the image to our server. Ask if you need help. (Also, please enter new messages using the "Post Comment" link or the + (plus) sign.) Thanks.
I have the submission adding a new pub of this collection to the db. There's a couple of problems: We use "tp" for trade paperback, US dollars is indicated solely with the dollar sign ($) and "The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick" is currently in the database as a title series, not a publication series. I will accept the submission, but the problems will have to be corrected. Let me know and if you prefer I can make the corrections. (The contents will also have to be added, and I can show you the best way to do that.) Thanks. Mhhutchins 02:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
I've accepted the submission, but made several necessary changes. Please look over the record and see if it matches your copy. You may have a later printing, and if so, we'll clone this record to create one that matches yours. Thanks. Mhhutchins 04:25, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
