John Wyndham

The John Wyndham story Pawley's Peepholes aka Operation Peep would appear to have a further variant title in that it was published in Argosy (UK) August 1954 as A New Kind Of Pink Elephant. Could this be verified and the record updated please?

Hi, and thanks for the hint. However, do you have a source for this at hand (because it is quite difficult to verify something without it). Thanks, Stonecreek 09:16, 5 January 2021 (EST)

FictionMags Index shows it. We don't have that issue (which also has a Bradbury story) so it will need to be added. FMI also shows SF stories in several other Argosy issues that we don't have. I will add them all later today unless someone beats me to it. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:14, 5 January 2021 (EST)

Missing 1954 Argosy (UK)s have been added. I will add remaining issues later. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:15, 5 January 2021 (EST)

Monks

I'm going to merge Joseph M. Monks with Joe Monks and Joseph Monks. This, https://archive.org/stream/Bones_of_the_Children_01_1996/Bones_of_the_Children_01_1996_djvu.txt, gives all 3 ways of spelling his name found on ISFDB. Joseph Monks has 1 story which is also in the collection that's under the Joseph M. Monks name, and Joe Monks has a story and essay from Agony in Black which is where Joseph M. Monks also published his first story. Another winner from--Username 00:26, 24 January 2021 (EST)

I have a copy of this but my copy has a UK price £3.95 orinted ion the back cover. The only other PV is Mhhutchins who is inactive. Is anyone able to find out if all versions of this publication had a UK price ? --Mavmaramis 01:35, 9 February 2021 (EST)

Dangerous Visions

I picked up a copy of this and note that it states gutter codes are printed on page 544. My copy definately has "Book Club Edition" at bottom of front flap and the number 1179 on the rear flap but alas page 544 has no code at all. Is there anywhere else within the book a gutter code might have been printed ? --Mavmaramis 15:04, 21 April 2021 (EDT)
