TODO

  • 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)
  • 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? But Black Sun is still not on Kobo last I checked (early April)

Publications to add

  • Brian Aldiss Lurid Glare and Super-State ebooks if/when they show up on Kobo and/or Amazon have previews. Also see if they show up on Blackwells, given they don't seem to be appearing at Kobo. Or Goodreads?
  • 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... Similar tweet 2021-03-2x, says it's tp: https://twitter.com/gollancz/status/1373271119000637442

Longer Term

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
  • 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 - Update 2021-03-25: Have marked as novel, as Kobo w/c is same, and preview doesn't indicate padding.
  • 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 (tp hasn't been done, but there's a preview on BL site that looks like it's (a) of the tp rather than the ebook, and (b) that the contents of ebook and tp probably match)
  • See what ISBN is reported when The First Omega comes out on March 30th
  • Add contents of Izumi Suzuki Terminal Collection, and variant them to JA originals
  • Finish off the variants of the Haruki Murakami collection
  • Add translator for Robot (Penguin) http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2861517 (published June 3rd IIRC) Submitted, pending acceptance. Also need to import translator note to the ebook
