| − | Hello,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Panther did 2 printings in 1978: the second one which we have [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?328533 here] and the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?181261 third one] (which we already have). Is [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?3785152 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! [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 14:03, 16 April 2018 (EDT)
| |
| − | :Good question. My best guess is there were only two printings in 1978 and one of {{P|328533}} and {{P|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. --[[User:AliHarlow|AliHarlow]] 14:09, 16 April 2018 (EDT)
| |
| − | :: Take over [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?328533 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?

Artist credit for The Dome in the Forest
Hi. I apologize, I had the mistaken impression you are inactive. I don't know where I got that idea. Anyway....
A contributor submitted an artist credit (Tony Roberts) for your verified The Dome in the Forest. The identification was based on attributions on several Internet sites (tumblr, pinterest, and a Russian site selling the print). I sent email to Roberts, and he confirmed the artwork is his, so I approved the submission and added a note reflecting what I am saying here. But I also said the artist credit in the book isn't known, which of course is silly if there's an active verifier who can check the book. So if you have a chance, would you look your copy over and adjust the note to reflect reality? Thanks, and apologies again. --MartyD 13:27, 12 April 2021 (EDT)
- No apology necessary. I come and go. I can't find a credit on the copyright page or back cover nor a signature so I've edited the notes appropriately. --AliHarlow 14:23, 12 April 2021 (EDT)

1. Change page count to [6]+346
2. Change the title for the map from "Keepers of Edanvant (frontispiece)" to "Keepers of Edanvant (map)". It's definitely not a frontispiece.
3. Change the map page from bp to [6]
4. Add note "Both the title page and the cover show "Sword & Circlet 1" but this is the third book in the Sword & Circlet series."
5. Add notes for the cover artist and map artist.

as well as, what is the colour of the title of the book: "Black Star Rising" on the spine?
--Spacecow 13:50, 21 May 2022 (EDT)
- They are both in the same colour. A desaturated yellow. You might call it "cream." Quite distinct from the gold of the author's name on the front cover.--AliHarlow 15:16, 24 May 2022 (EDT)
