Web-Zines
Goclark, I saw your two submissions for stories in web-zines. I'm sorry but at present ISFDB is not indexing web-zines and other non-durable stories. Please see item 12 at the bottom of ISFDB:Policy#Rules_of_Acquisition. --16:27, 9 Jan 2007 (CST)Marc Kupper
Mortician's Tea
I have held this submisison for the moment. Your note says that "Sam's Dot now doing it". Does this mean that the book has not yet been published? If so, do you have a more precise publication date than "2008"? This would allow the book to be properly listed as "Forthcoming" until it has actually been published. Also, the book is listed as a collection, but no contents are listed. Do you know what the contents will be? If so, we would like to include them. Also you stated that this was 50 pages long. Is that correct? That is quite short for a collection. Will the book have an ISBN? Do you know what it is/will be? -DES Talk 17:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- I approved and then edited this submission. It appears Sam's Dot is currently taking orders but will publish the book in February. DES, it's a poetry collection which is why it's 50 pages. --Marc Kupper|talk 02:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Strange Vegetables
I approved your submission of Strange Vegetables. Thank you. A few minor points:
- We enter prices with a currency symbol, so I have converted "7.95" to "$7.95".
- our code for mass-market paperbacks is "pb", so i have changed "paperback". If this is in fact a "trade" paperback, with size larger than 18 cm, it should be recorded with the code "tp".
- I have added a contents item fro the interior art mentioned in your notes.
- We do record entries for individual poems, if you care to add them. The content type POEM is used for such items.
- I have added an OCLC record number and an amazon.com cover image URL.
Please check the result and see if I have made any errors in the record. If it is correct, you might want to complete and verify the record. Thank you for your contribution. -DES Talk 18:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- As per OCLC 430522614, the book size is "22 cm" and mass market paperbacks are "18 cm", so I have converted it to a trade paperback. Ahasuerus 19:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
