Three to Conquer

Three to Conquer; this has a Publication Date of ‘1963-09-00”. The Copyright page only has "Published in Penguin Books 1963", do you know where the Publication Month came from? --AndyjMo 06:58, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

No, but I suspect the note "Publication Month from this title" might be a clue :) --AliHarlow 08:08, 15 March 2018 (EDT)

Breakfast in the Ruins

Cover artist of this is Peter Goodfellow, see original art at worthpoint.com. Horzel 17:44, 12 April 2018 (EDT)

Good find, thanks.--AliHarlow 03:35, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

Slapstick or Lonesome No More!

Hello,

Panther did 2 printings in 1978: the second one which we have here and the third one (which we already have). Is this submission a different printing from the two we have from 1978? Is there a third printing in the year (the first Panther printing is in 1977 and we have that one as well)? If it is one of the existing ones, please edit the existing publication instead of adding a duplicate. If it is indeed a new one, the note will need to be adjusted to mention what printing it is. Thanks! Annie 14:03, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

Good question. My best guess is there were only two printings in 1978 and one of 328533 and 181261 is wrong. Both these entries list different prices from my copy and the differences are too large to be a typo. Thus I believe my copy to be the first printing in 1978. Happy to follow your lead. --AliHarlow 14:09, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

Take over this one and change whatever needs changing. It is not verified, it looks like someone just copied everything from the third printing and dumped it in this one to create the publication. So all yours :) I can also let yours through and delete this older one but... I'd rather not delete existing publications in case someone had linked somewhere to it (and when it is salvageable as is the case). What do you think? Annie 14:16, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

Works for me.--AliHarlow 14:18, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

-== Ice Prophet ==
-In [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?468366 this] copy of Ice Prophet, you list the price as $3.75 Canadian. My copy has the U.S. price of 2.95 on the cover, but states it is printed in Canada. The image on the publication is from the U.S. edition so shows the same $2.95. Can you check your copy for cover price and confirm. If you can, I'll add a note for copies with incorrect cover. Thanks.  [[User:Holmesd|Doug H]] 14:54, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
-: Yes, I can confirm that my front cover has "Ballantine/30790/$3.75" as a first line. The back cover also has a barcode of 070999003757 and the spine has 345-30790-9-375. Thinking about it, it's possible that the $3.75 is a US price and this is just a later printing. I assume it was CAN because of the higher price and the fact that it was printed in Canada, but that may not be valid in the light of your copy.--[[User:AliHarlow|AliHarlow]] 12:18, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
-::There's three publications listed - a US at 2.95, your Canadian at 3.75 and a third printing (and identified as such) in US for 2.95. Personally, I doubt it went to more printings than these three. The disparity in prices between US and Canada is pretty standard. My guess is that my copy is the same text a yours (printed in Canada) but with a US cover on it by mistake. Alternatively, they took leftover Canadian printings and sold them in US with US cover. As a purist, I'll enter my copy with my guesses as to what happened. Thanks for checking.  [[User:Holmesd|Doug H]] 16:03, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
