== 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, [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 09:16, 5 January 2021 (EST)
 
::[http://www.philsp.com/homeville/FMI/t/t888.htm#A15018 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. --&nbsp;[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] ([[User talk:JLaTondre#top|talk]]) 13:14, 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--[[User:Username|Username]] 00:26, 24 January 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)

Katherine McLean Missing Man

Hello. Could anyone tell me about this book. This Orbit edition doesn't appear in the listing so I have no clue what the ISBN is and the internet is no help. --Mavmaramis 17:17, 25 June 2021 (EDT)
