Welcome!
Hello, Ofearna, 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:
- Help pages
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- ISFDB FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
- Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.

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! Mhhutchins 00:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Lansdale's Savage Season
Hi Susan -
I believe you had mentioned in another thread that your books were in storage. When you have access to them again, could you double check the ISBN for Lansdale's Savage Season. I added the Worldcat number for this one, but it has a different ISBN, 0929480538 (or perhaps 092948052X, but I think that's for the slipcased edition). The ISBN we have, 0-929480-22-8, matches the one listed in Locus1, which is likely the source for our record (It predates your verification). While I suspect that one of the secondary sources is incorrect, I suppose it is possible that the book bears multiple ISBNs. Once you can verify what's in the book, we can add a note explaining the discrepancy. Thanks for checking, though I know it may be a while. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 09:13, 22 January 2023 (EST)
- I'll check when I can Susan O'Fearna (talk) 16:12, 22 February 2023 (EST)
- OK... on the front flyleaf it says: ISBN 0-929-480-22-8 Trade $25.00 / ISBN 0-929-480-23-6 Limited Set $100.00
- On the copyright page it says Signed & Limited Edition ISBN 0-929480-53-8 / Trade Edition ISBN 9-929480-52-X / LCCN 90-070490 Susan O'Fearna (talk) 22:49, 6 November 2023 (EST)
Damnation
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?347419; All other issues on ISFDB are published by Books, not Press. Can you check and fix if necessary? --Username (talk) 11:05, 23 April 2023 (EDT)
- I can't get *to* my stuff, but I'll change it per your recommendation Susan O'Fearna (talk) 01:23, 24 April 2023 (EDT)
- OK, but I see from an online search that many sites refer to the publisher (apparently one of several over the magazine's history) as Damnation Press while many other sites refer to it as Damnation Books. So I wonder if their name changed somewhere along the way; it would still be good if you could check this issue and any other issues you may have PV when you get a chance to verify how they were named inside the issues since online info can't be trusted. --Username (talk) 09:40, 24 April 2023 (EDT)
After the End
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?417779; I added 2 Archive.org links in a pending edit and I see intro is titled "Introduction: Before After the End", so if your copy says the same it should be fixed. --Username (talk) 11:49, 3 June 2023 (EDT)
Veiled Web
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?49331; An archived copy was uploaded in 2014, the same year you PV this edition, and while adding the link just now I noticed page count entered here is 357, not 355, and cover artist is entered as Nielsen, not Nielson like it says on the copyright page (same in the original PB), so if yours is really 355 pages and artist is Nielson can you fix those? I'm also going to ask PV of 2nd PB printing about this because they entered artist as Nielsen, too, so either they made the same mistake or the publisher corrected the name in later printings. --Username (talk) 12:08, 24 September 2023 (EDT)
- 355 numbered, a blank page then "about the author" = 357
- damn, it is spelled Nielson Susan O'Fearna (talk) 23:02, 6 November 2023 (EST)
Mark Powers / Dresden Files comics
Hi, just noticed you have some of the Dresden Files graphic novels verified. As such, I imagine you will be getting pings from me changing the (co-)author from "Mark Powers" to "Mark Powers (comics)". Please see ISFDB:Community_Portal#Mark_Powers_-_two_different_people for the background on this - hopefully it shouldn't be a controversial change. Thanks!

- Works for me... if they're different people we definitely need to differentiate them! Susan O'Fearna (talk) 10:09, 20 November 2023 (EST)
Book of Ballads
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?282239; Cover art and 7 of the contents have the wrong month, 10 instead of 11. --Username (talk) 21:19, 19 November 2023 (EST)
- All of these were previously published in individual comics format AND there was the BALLADS book published earlier with only part of the content... Susan O'Fearna (talk) 10:11, 20 November 2023 (EST)
Firebirds Rising
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?82103; I added Archive.org link in a PENDING edit and I think page count should just be 530 with brackets removed from contents at the end because the numbers are clearly visible at the tops of the pages. --Username (talk) 17:35, 21 November 2023 (EST)
- I checked and it does have page numbers thru 530! fixed it Susan O'Fearna (talk) 19:32, 26 November 2023 (EST)
- Susan, I'm holding your edit. In addition to changing the page numbers, you are converting from an ISBN10 to an ISBN13. We record the form that is on the pub. The Internet Archive scan shows the ISBN10 on the copyright page and the back cover. An ISBN13 would be unusual for a 2006 book. Does yours actually have a ISBN13? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:39, 27 November 2023 (EST)
- yes, on the bar code Susan O'Fearna (talk) 20:41, 27 November 2023 (EST)
Hyenas
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?336933; Page count of copies on Archive.org is 100, not 104. Also, the 2 stories need their page numbers added. --Username (talk) 10:13, 25 November 2023 (EST)
