Revision as of 16:42, 19 February 2008
The "B" is for "Bill".
I have another account here "BillLongley" that I used during some strange blocking events. Those were mostly during my early days here, and no doubt anything done by "BillLongley" could be improved, so feel free to point out my newbie mistakes. (You'll find some under THIS name too, and don't be afraid to question those either.) At some point I'll probably review all the "BillLongley" verifications and switch them to this ID - probably to get to the 2,000 Verifications point. (Yes, I know many other editors have far vaster collections, but until they start verifying them all this is one of the few targets I can aim for!)
I consider myself fairly expert on Terry Pratchett, Spider Robinson, James Blish and (reluctantly, after I heard of "fix-up" novels) A. E. van Vogt: currently I'm learning Ron Goulart (from the Josh Kirby associations), Jack Williamson and Brian Stableford: and Buffy/X-Files/Star Trek/Doctor Who series as they're just so cheaply available at car-boot sales and suchlike. (This is why I verify so many copies of the same book at times - 10p or 20p to upgrade a book from a reading copy to a good one to a pristine one is irresistible!)
I like to question a lot of ISFDB standards, and get a bit disappointed when such discussions peter out with no resolution. I upload a lot of cover images to Amazon, but wish they were here instead, for instance.
I occasionally stumble over a British SF Magazine and venture into those Dark Areas, but you'd be better off talking to other Mods about magazines. Mostly. Unless it's the British edition. Then it's only "Probably". I've done one entire series single-handed and I'll probably do "[SF] Impulse" at some point too.
And I now have a large collection of "Stuff" that is either interesting, daunting, or a fire-risk: see below.
"Novels I've got in a series" script
Another quick'n'dirty script, knocked up as I'm being offered Star Trek Books for postage costs only! And as most aren't worth even that much, I'm not going to ask for any I already have... (Test is for "Discworld" as it's a much shorter series and I haven't got this to look at Parent Series yet.) BLongley 14:00, 7 Jan 2008 (CST)
select t.title_title, MAX(v.user_id) from (pubs p, pub_content pc, authors a, titles t, canonical_author ca, series s) LEFT OUTER JOIN verification v ON (v.pub_id = p.pub_id AND v.reference_id = 1 AND v.user_id IN (2781, 4121) ) WHERE t.title_ttype = 'NOVEL' and p.pub_id = pc.pub_id and pc.title_id = t.title_id and t.title_id = ca.title_id and ca.author_id = a.author_id and t.series_id = s.series_id and s.series_title like 'Discworld%' GROUP BY t.title_title order by 2, 1
"Shortfiction I've got" script
(Assumes I have verified an edition containing the Story, and that all stories are in ISFDB, and doesn't allow for Variant titles).)
select t.title_title, MAX(v.user_id) from (pubs p, pub_content pc, authors a, titles t, canonical_author ca) LEFT OUTER JOIN verification v ON (v.pub_id = p.pub_id AND v.reference_id = 1 AND v.user_id IN (2781, 4121) ) WHERE t.title_ttype = 'SHORTFICTION' and p.pub_id = pc.pub_id and pc.title_id = t.title_id and t.title_id = ca.title_id and ca.author_id = a.author_id and a.author_canonical = 'Philip K. Dick' GROUP BY t.title_title order by 1, 2
First mystery to solve - as I own all five Volumes of the Complete Philip K. Dick, why do I not have 11 of the results this shows? BLongley 11:07, 6 Jan 2008 (CST)

Corgi
Prefix 0552 from 1968-2005. Although we also have a couple of 'Black Swan' pubs with "055299" prefixes, this is a pretty reliable check (over 200 good pubs verified).
Since about 2005, Corgi has been a Children's paperback imprint of Random House. Bantam are the imprint of choice for reprints of classic Corgi SF paperback titles now, and many new Transworld SF publications - you will however see many Amazon entries listing older Corgi SF titles as "Corgi Children's"! This seems to be because they retain the same ISBN and Amazon can't cope with such British normalities as "same text can keep the same ISBN, however often you change the cover, price, company that owns the imprint, etc."
Do NOT trust Amazon (UK or US) for a definitive Publisher! (Well, maybe after a Look-Inside - but even then check they're showing you the edition you THOUGHT you were looking at!)
Fontana Books
000613 1975-1979 (I have none of this range) 000614 1977-1980 000615 1979-1980 000616 1980-1991 (I have none of this range) 000617 1986-1993
Coronet
Mostly covered by these prefixes, although these may also be credited to Hodder & Stoughton:
03400 1972-1981 03401 1972-1982 03402 1976-1982 03403 1984
Headline Books bought Hodder and Stoughton in June 1993, according to The British Fantasy Society Newsletter, Vol 17 No 5. Joint Company created: Hodder headline.
Arrow / Legend
Arrow is usually 0099 prefix, but this also covers the Legend imprint. It also covers Mysterious Press which is/was an imprint of Arrow Books, and Red Fox and Vintage: but these are unlikely to be SF.
Sidgwick & Jackson
0283 prefix: although this may be also used for paperback publications in association with the New English library.
Star
03523 1975-1989 May be credited as "W. H. Allen-Star".
Magnum
04170 Prefix, 1977-1981
Unwin / Unicorn
Not many SF authors, Tolkien being the most notable, but has handled Tanith Lee, Robert Holdstock, M. John Harrison and Guy Gavriel Kay. Prefixes 004440 and 004823. More likely to publish SF under the "Unicorn" imprint.
NEL (New English Library)
Also covers Souvenir Press and Four Square imprints, but these are likely to be pre-ISBN.
02839 1976-1982 03406 1994-1999 03407 1999-2004 03408 2004 04500 1969-1997 04503 1986-1993 04504 1987-1990 04505 1989-1994 04506 1994-1995
0340 overlaps with Hodder: 02839 with Sidgwick & Jackson: 0450 is pretty clear though.
Penguin, Puffin, Peacock, Roc
Wikipedia does better than usual for THIS British (still?) publisher.
01400 1969-1987 01401 1987-1995 01402 1995-2001
Children's imprints:
01403 Puffin 1969-2007 01413 Puffin 2002-2007 01404 Peacock 1978-1979
Gets complicated with Roc imprint:
04514 Penguin/Roc 1990-2007
Pan
0330 Prefix 1967-2006. Now includes 03304 Picador, and Pan Macmillan begins to really mess things up.
Piccolo
Children's book imprint of Pan.
03302 1973-1985
Methuen
04131 1987-1988 04133 1975-1976 04134 1986-1987 04135 1983-1987 04136 1986 04137 2002 (Methuen Drama)
Wyndham / Universal / Target / Virgin / W. H. Allen / Dr Who Books
0426 prefix, mainly for Doctor Who and spin-offs.
Heinemann
043400 1987-1997
Faber and Faber
0571 prefix.
Gollancz / VGSF / Orion / Millennium
Wikipedia Article that promotes Manga more than SF! :-(

Mayflower
05831 prefix, 1969-1982
This prefix may also be credited to Granada from 1978-1984, or Grafton from 1985-1988.
Beaver
Children's imprint of Hamlyn, so shares prefix of 06003. Most notable author John Christopher.
Mandarin
An imprint of Octopus UK, whoever they are.
074930 1989-1993 074931 1992-1995
Colin Smythe
Only two books here so far: original publisher of Terry Pratchett. Prefix 086140

Note: These prefixes were also used by Granada 1973-1986. The 0586 prefix was also used by Grafton, HarperCollins, HarperCollins Voyager, Paladin and Triad, who also used the 058607-058600 ranges Panther and Granada didn't.
Granada also used prefixes:
024611 1982 (only 1 sample) 024612 1984-1985 058311 1984 058312 1978-1984 058313 1980-1983

Recent Acquisitions
The Brian Stableford collection is going to take some time to go through. If you see anything especially of interest here, let me know. I'm just going to record what there is for now, and what my future intentions for it are. BLongley 14:06, 14 Jul 2007 (CDT)
- Just to make it clear: Knud Lam has expressed an interest in preserving the ENTIRE physical collection, I think: I have no Danish language skills and it seems my English isn't that clear to Danes either, as I have had to apologize several times over about my perceived intentions. I'm currently keeping these items and the other boxes/bags stored, and many items are of ISFDB interest. If anyone is interested in entering the ISFDB-relevant data, then I'm happy to let you borrow the items, on the understanding that Knud wants the physical copies eventually. Knud seems happy to allow researchers access to the physical editions, but he has a ten-year backlog of work already and I don't want to put the burden of data-entry on him alone!
