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)

The Terminal Man book club edition

Anyone able to help with a release date for The Terminal Man. John Scifibones 14:12, 24 May 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)

It probably does not exist. There are other cases, such as Peter Jones' cover for "Phoenix Without Ashes". Cover art is requested, but the publication somehow does not make it to the printer. Horzel 05:54, 17 June 2022 (EDT)

Terry Bisson / "Planet of Mystery" on Locus Index to Science Fiction CD ROM?

"Nice Girl with Five Husbands" by Fritz Leiber

Hello. I am reading a scan of the April 1951 Galaxy, and I see that the title of Leiber’s story on both the table of contents and the title page is "Nice Girl with 5 Husbands". However, the multi-verified listing of the Galaxy issue has the story (and the associated illustrations) as "Nice Girl with Five Husbands". I don't know how to submit a fix for this situation: The title should have the digit 5 rather than the word Five.

Might someone be able to submit the fix or tell me how to do so. I have posted images of the scans at ittdb.com. You may also view it at archive.org. But maybe I have misunderstood the situation. Thanks.

--Michael Main 16:18, 25 April 2022 (EDT)

You are correct, it should be "5". I will update the record and notify the verifiers. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:57, 25 April 2022 (EDT)

Signature identification

Back cover signature from A Book of Boys' Stories. It doesn't appear to be the signature of Pat Nevin, the interior artist. --Auric (talk) 06:51, 22 September 2022 (EDT)

The art style of the interior images is different, too. I agree it's likely someone else. However, this image (and the one visible on the Internet Archive; you'll have to borrow the book in order to see the back cover) aren't very clear. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:44, 4 October 2022 (EDT)

-I was gonna add my edition of <i>Masque of a Savage Mandarin</i> [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0586039341/ref=nosim?linkCode=gs2&tag=authordatabase] when I noticed that the author Philip Bedford Robinson http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?97209 possibly have been combined with another Philip Robinson. Its pretty hard to find much information about them, the best I've found is from SFE [http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/robinson_philip_bedford], which states that the two is not to be mixed up. <i>Masque of a Savage Mandarin</i> seems to be a comedy, while the listed short fiction seems to be pure horror and also published 10 years after Bedfords, according to SFE, supposed death. --[[User:Spacecow|Spacecow]] 17:27, 22 September 2020 (EDT)
-: Fixed. Thanks for reporting it :) We record authors by name (and not by ID) so when two of them share a name, we need to separate manually by changing the name in each title when the main one is not used. [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 19:15, 22 September 2020 (EDT)

-== Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler ==
-http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?21606
-I was about to add my edition of <i>Darkness at Noon</i> when I was greeted with "DO NOT ADD PUBLICATIONS" in the synopsis. Huh, I thought, why is that? Then I realised the book itself is classified as non-genre here at isfdb (and not having read it myself I don't feel I am in a position to argue with that), even though you for example list it for having been nominated for the Prometheus Hall Of Fame. Anyway, I took a quick look in the documentation over non-genre and got the feeling that was the reason publications were not allowed. Is that the case for all non-genre works? No. After looking at 5-10 other, random, non-genre works and all of them having listed publications, I don't think that is the reason. So, what is the reason? I am sure there have been a heated discussion over this book leading to the "DO NOT ADD PUBLICATIONS" treatment and would like to read it. Is possible to provide a link to the underlying discussion when works get special treatment like this? --[[User:Spacecow|Spacecow]] 04:13, 25 September 2020 (EDT)
-: It's just that we don't index stand-alone nongenre works by authors that aren't 'above the threshold' (to be considered as genre authors), and that Koestler seems to be out of scope for this reason, see [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Policy#Contents.2FProject_Scope_Policy our project scope], especially the passage on works that are excluded. Hope that helps. [[User:Stonecreek|Stonecreek]] 06:15, 25 September 2020 (EDT)
-:: Sounds fair. I'm ok with someone else taking all these decisions about genre for me. Now, is there anything on the author page that tells me the author is not considered a genre author? --[[User:Spacecow|Spacecow]] 15:24, 25 September 2020 (EDT)
-::: Not really but a low number of works overall is a good indication in most cases. If you are not familiar with the author, glance at Wikipedia - the genre authors will have the genres mentioned in the first paragraph more often than not. The "threshold" is very subjective so think of "Will I consider this author a genre one?" and if the answer is no, just skip any non-genre books. The rule is meant for authors like Asimov (and making sure we do not index everything by Twain) for example and the less we use it, the better we are IMO. [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 15:49, 25 September 2020 (EDT)
-:::: So, if I try to add a publication to one of Mark Twain's non-genre work, you will decline it? --[[User:Spacecow|Spacecow]] 03:02, 26 September 2020 (EDT)
-::::: Yes. Or if it gets approved (it happens), it may be deleted at any time in the future. We are a speculative fiction DB :) [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 03:13, 26 September 2020 (EDT)
-:::::: It just seems so random. Couldn't you flag an author as non-genre once a moderator has made the decision and display that decision and motivation (with place for discussion?) to your users? And once an author is made non-genre, it would be an easy step to disable uploads of publications to non-genre works altogether. I'm sitting with this book in my hand [https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1237282555&searchurl=an%3Dcapek%2Bkarel%26fe%3Don%26sortby%3D20%26tn%3Dapocryphal%2Bstories&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-image1] and can't find an entry for it on Capek's page, which seems weird. I am just going to assume it has been rejected at some point, cause I hate to spend 30 min digging up information on it just to have it rejected. Additional idea: a section with rejected works (with motivation) for these on-the-border genre-authors I think would be really interesting. --[[User:Spacecow|Spacecow]] 05:32, 26 September 2020 (EDT)
-::::::: It is the other way around really - we add non-genre books from above threshold authors as opposed to just ignoring them for non-genre authors. So if you are a genre author with 3 books that does not mean that your first non-genre book will be eligible - unless whoever adds and moderates interprets the rule that way. So it is usually a safe bet not to add any non-genre books. The problem with adding a marker is that everyone has their own interpretation of the threshold. If you are not sure, post on the Moderator board before posting the book and you will get some opinions... [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 17:53, 27 September 2020 (EDT)
-:::::::: We have repeatedly tried to come up with an exact definition of the [[ISFDB:Policy#Excluded|"certain threshold"]] mentioned by [[ISFDB:Policy]] and we have repeatedly failed :-( A number of different criteria have been proposed, but each one led to exceptions and exceptions to exceptions. For example, if we use e.g. "ratio of genre to non-genre works" as the decisive criterion, should we assign equal weight to novels, short stories and poems?
-:::::::: That being said, we do have a feature request to "Add a 'non-genre' field to Author records" ({{FR|860}}, which, once implemented, should help with standardization. [[User:Ahasuerus|Ahasuerus]] 18:18, 27 September 2020 (EDT)
-== W. Scott Peacock & Wilbur S. Peacock ==
-We have {{A|W. Scott Peacock}} who is an editor and {{A|Wilbur S. Peacock}} who is an author. Both records have the same legal name (Peacock, Wilbur Scott) and year of death, but different years of birth. However, in SFE3's [http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/planet_stories entry] on Planet Stories, they list the author's birth year as 1915 (vs. the 1911 we have) which would match the editor's record. These would seem to be the same person. The only wrinkle is the PS's Feature Flash [https://archive.org/details/Planet_Stories_v01n12_1942-Fa_sas/page/n51/mode/2up article] in the ''Planet Stories'', Fall 1942 issue states "Wilbur S. Peacock came into the office the other day, to discuss a new novelette he has slated for the Planet. Since it was the first time we had met him personally...". W. Scott Peacock is credited as the editor of this issue. The implication being they are different people. But this is also the first issue edited by Peacock so the uncredited article writer could actually have been the managing editor or the prior editor and this conversation was from before Peacock took over. Does anyone have more information this? Like what the source was for the editor's biographical information? Thanks. --&nbsp;[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] ([[User talk:JLaTondre#top|talk]]) 12:19, 3 October 2020 (EDT)
