User:ErsatzCulture/TODO Reminders

• Check that the Vintage Most Red tps come out on 2021-03-04, given that Waterstones say they've been cancelled, and Blackwells doesn't list them at all. Update: Seem like they didn't, but maybe add the 3 others (Handmaids, Slaughterhouse, Angela Carter collection IIRC) as 8888 releases?
• The mystery pub of the Star Wars Alphabet Squadron that Waterstones also says is cancelled (due late Feb or early March 2021 IIRC)
• Recheck word count for Ben Aaronovitch Abigail novella when Kobo has a preview up (says 46k as of 2021-02-17, but there's no preview, which makes me wonder if that's based purely on reported page count?) http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?827215
• Work out if the UK physical of Nick Martell's The Two-Faced Queen is hc or tp - former is no longer listed on gollancz.co.uk, but is on Amazon etc. Pub date 2021-03-25 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Two-Faced-Queen-Nick-Martell/dp/1473225655 . Maybe retailer exclusive, although I didn't see it on Goldsboro when I checked. UPDATE: this author tweet from 22nd Feb says pub has been pushed back 2 weeks; the data I have claims/claimed the hc was 20201-03-25, and the tp 2021-04-08...
• Get ISBNs for Solaris novellas by Premee Mohamed and Adrian Tchaikovsky if/when previews show up and/or they appear on Kobo. Same for Black Sun UK ebook and (IIRC) Gavin Smith Zombie reissue under new title. Update: part done IIRC?
• Add contents of the Mike Ashley Spaceworlds anthology if/when they appear; also add bl.uk link if/when it appears there http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?827216
• See what ISBN is reported when The First Omega comes out on March 30th
• Add contents of Mike Ashley Queens of the Abyss anthology now that preview is available: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?807200
• Brian Aldiss Lurid Glare and Super-State ebooks if/when they show up on Kobo and/or Amazon have previews

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
