Longer Term
- Blindspace pushed back from 2021-04-15 to 2021-10-xx https://jeremyszal.com/2020/12/27/blindspace-update-cover-and-release-delay/
Done
- Check "The" in Grasshopper's Child when preview is available. Update 2021-03-09: no Amazon preview, but the weak excuse for a title page on Kobo lacks "The", so the variant I created should stay
- Check Gypsys/Gypsies spelling on http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?824655 when preview is available. Update 2021-03-09: no preview on Amazon UK or Kobo. Update 2021-03-13. Cover and title page don't match. What's in the database is correct, but have updated note. http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?4935737
- Pilgermann pub series http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?4933577 DONE: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?4935738
- Check that Silmarillion illustrated editions come out on 2021-03-18, and (ideally) add publisher page URL to the pub(s) http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?827213 UPDATE: people on Twitter have the deluxe edition, so have submitted that as well. Amazon shows regular edn in stock as of pub date
- Merge Stephen Baxter/Clarke/Golden Age Masterworks intros
