The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands

[6].

hiya mate sorry to bother you. ive been trying to tidy up the Dameron interior art entries for this by merging them but got stymied by this one as its got a different name with the series name in it. john sfbones said i should ask you if its alright to change the name for the publication, artwork and authors note so theyre just called "The Waste Lands" so the art and essay can be merged. cheers from Gaz Faustus (talk) 21:59, 11 March 2024 (EDT)

Hello Faustus. No problem here : that was one of my first edits, that probably needs brushing up. Merge away ! Cheers, Linguist (talk) 05:15, 12 March 2024 (EDT).

Best New Horror 14

[7]; 2nd printing of this on Archive.org says Fourteen on title page, not 14, as does the USA edition. Does yours? If it does the titles should be merged so there's no variant. --Username (talk) 10:52, 18 April 2024 (EDT)

Yes, it's Fourteen, not 14 on title page. Thanks for noticing this. Linguist (talk) 05:26, 19 April 2024 (EDT).

Selected Short Stories - H. G. Wells

Hello Dominique, I'm editing this pub and I would like to amend the titles of a couple of the short stories.

"The Sea Raiders" change to "The Sea-Raiders" - it's hyphenated above the work, but not in the ToC.

"The Man Who Could Work Miracles" change to "The Man Who Could Work Miracles: A Pantoum in Prose" - full title above the work, but not in the ToC.

Are you ok with those changes? Thanks, Kev. --BanjoKev (talk) 14:39, 20 April 2024 (EDT)

Hello, Kev, no problem with these changes. Cheers ! Linguist (talk) 04:48, 21 April 2024 (EDT).

Many thanks, Kev. --BanjoKev (talk) 11:35, 21 April 2024 (EDT)

+== The Year's Best Science Fiction No. 5 ==
-:Hello MagicUnk. "Poema pocket" appears on title page (in the usual place of the publisher) as well as on spine. Front and back covers have "Poema thriller", which might be understood as a pub series (or not). The web address indicated on bc is www.poemapocket.com. The only reference to Luitingh-Sijthoff is on copyright page, suggesting that we are indeed dealing with an imprint. Feel free to update the record if you think it is worth it.

-I have just added the contents to a collection of prose poems that includes a translation of Baudelaire's "[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2088421 Chacun sa chimère]" which is included in your verified publication ''[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?611075 Petits poëmes en prose]''.  I noted your comment in that collection that suggests that prose poems should be listed as short stories.  I know that we have a number of prose poems by Clark Ashton Smith, H. P. Lovecraft and Jorge Luis Borges that are entered as poems.  I had thought we had a consensus about which type to use, but [[Rules and standards discussions/Archive/Archive14#Are Baudelaire's prose poems POEM or SHORTFICTION?|this]] was the only discussion that I could find on the subject, interestingly about Baudelaire.  In any case I have entered the translation of "Chacun sa chimère" as a poem.  If you feel strongly that prose poems should be stories, then perhaps we could start a new discussion. Please let me know your thoughts.  Thanks.  --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 18:29, 10 February 2021 (EST)
+== Ultima Thule ==
-: Hi Ron. I recognize the need of a consensus about the matter, and I don't contest in any way the existence of prose poems. Yet I would hesitate to follow a rule according to which all that is published as a (prose) poem should ''always'' be a poem in our db. Cases vary greatly in the ''Petits poëmes en prose'' collection where, from a formal point of view, some texts do qualify as prose poems and some don't (straightforward prose narratives with dialogues, etc., later published in miscellaneous anthologies as short stories). After all, we do classify as NOVELLAs texts that are considered by author and publisher alike as NOVELs, thus not respecting their initial intention, on purely formal grounds. I think this is one of those annoying issues where arguments for and against each position cancel each other, thus leading to endless (and fruitless) bickering. I'll change the title types to POEM in the collection, not to make a nuisance of myself, but I still think this is as weird as as dubbing NOVEL a play or an epic poem. Yet, from a surrealist viewpoint, incoherence has its charms… ;o) [[User:Linguist|Linguist]] 09:48, 11 February 2021 (EST).

-I pulled one of the sources of a book you added [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?580480 here] because it was for a later edition. As the LTF has the contents, the Trantor link for the 1999 edition was better off in a 1999 edition (which I added [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?826989 here] and which turned out to be a bit of a confused matter).
