Welcome!

Hello, Thatrarebookguy, 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! Annie 23:23, 8 October 2019 (EDT)

Tropic of Passion

Hello and welcome again. I approved your first submission (technically the second - I rejected the first as duplicate) but had to do a few changes:

  • When a book is credited to a pseudonym, we record is as credited on the title page of the book and then variant to the original author (and pseudonym the author). I've done that here for you. However, as we already have a few authors with that name, it needed disambiguation so he is now John Davidson (pseudonym)
  • "pulp" is only used for magazines. For books we use "pb" for mass market paperbacks and "tp" for any other paperback. Based on what I can find online, it looks like a "pb" but if it is bigger, let me know and we can change it.
  • Series on the title levels are for series which always belong to the book - regardless of who publishes the book, it will belong to the series. Publication series belong to a publisher. The "An Epic Original" is a publisher series.
  • As we are an international DB, prices should always have currency attached to them. So I changed it to $0.50.

The result is here. Let me know if you have any questions and welcome again! Annie 23:38, 8 October 2019 (EDT)

And one more change after I did some more digging. We record the Epic as by "Art Enterprises / Epic" (Art Enterprises is an imprint of Epic) and that puts the number as a catalog number for the imprint. That reunited this book with the others from the same publisher. Annie 23:49, 8 October 2019 (EDT)

How Many Blocks In The Pile

Hello again,

I had to reject this one as we already have the book here - same publisher, same year, same other details. If you have a later printing, then instead of adding a new, you can clone this one (and undated later printings get their dates as 0000-00-00). If you indeed have this book, you can verify it directly - see the links in my welcome message for details. Annie 23:44, 8 October 2019 (EDT)
