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)

Zena Henderson

Replaced Amazon cover for this with one from my own collection --Mavmaramis 14:31, 17 April 2018 (EDT)

In Our Hands the Stars

Wanted to let you know I replaced the linked-to amazon cover art with a scan of my own, added the cover art artist (from back cover), and added some clarification to the notes. Let me know if you disagree. MagicUnk 17:07, 26 April 2018 (EDT)

Inconstant Moon

Just letting you know that an update was done by a new PV in the notes of your verified. The change was adding a single line: "Copyright © Larry Niven 1973". Then I did a second update to move the OCLC and noted both changes but just wanted to let you know. The editor had been advised that they are supposed to discuss changes with the PVs. Thanks!

The Years of the City

Cover artist of this is Danny Flynn, see his site. Horzel 05:31, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Nightwings

Regarding this edition of Nightwings, the cover artist is Dave Pether. I just bought the original painting from him and it is now in the Welshgriffin Collection. Welshgriffin 01:20, 8 August 2018 (EDT)

Equator

Hi, the cover artist of this is Chesley Bonestell, see Worlds Beyond, the Art of Chesley Bonestell, or bonestell.org. The space station appears to be based on a painting by Richard Powers, see Project Jupiter. Horzel 03:37, 26 December 2018 (EST)

RWS

Hi, the 'RWS' whose initials appear on the cover of Planet of the Dreamers might be this R. W. S., better known as R. W. Smethurst.--Dirk P Broer 05:56, 1 June 2019 (EDT)

Thanks. I added a suitable note.--AliHarlow 01:16, 4 June 2019 (EDT)
