:If I understand the Locus conventions correctly, they list two dates: the date stated in the publication and the "date received". I think they only list the "date received" if it's earlier than the stated date, which makes sense. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 17:29, 6 Jan 2007 (CST)

Revision as of 07:39, 29 December 2007

Locus1 has this line:

The Compass Rose (Bantam Spectra 0-553-23512-5, Nov ’87 [Oct ’87], $3.50, 271pp, pb) Reissue (Harper & Row 1982) collection of 20 stories. 4th printing.

What does the "[Oct ’87]" mean? The Bantam list at Locus1 lists this pub under November 1987, so I'm going to use that date. I'd like to know what the October date is for, though. Mike Christie (talk) 16:49, 6 Jan 2007 (CST)

If I understand the Locus conventions correctly, they list two dates: the date stated in the publication and the "date received". I think they only list the "date received" if it's earlier than the stated date, which makes sense. Ahasuerus 17:29, 6 Jan 2007 (CST)
