I had to reject your attempt to change the ISBN for that book. We are a bibliography site and not a "what is available now" site. So we record every edition of a book. When a book is reissued, we do not update the old edition but instead create a new one. Go to the book, look at the left menu and locate "Clone". Use that to create a new copy for the new ISBN. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] 03:28, 17 November 2021 (EST)

Hi Annie,

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my submission. I have the 1976 copy in hand. It clearly states "Reissued in this new edition December 1976", references only two previous printing dates (1972 no month given, and January 1973), and has a different ISBN from these. I believe the creator of this record overlooked this and simply treated it as a third printing. [[User:LostInTime|LostInTime]] 06:26, 17 November 2021 (EST)

Welcome!

Hello, LostInTime, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!.--~~

Ray Feibush vs Richard Clifton-Dey

Hi, I changed the attribution back because not only is Richard Clifton-Dey credited here, he is also credited here, and here, which carries more weight than your feeling that it might be Feibush -perhaps they worked together is the same studio, who knows?--Dirk P Broer 21:18, 27 April 2021 (EDT)

OK, thanks for that. I wonder now if the Podkayne cover is wrong, but that's sourced too. I will leave it there, perhaps they did work together! LostInTime 07:21, 28 April 2021 (EDT)

Tales from the White Hart

Hello,

I had to reject your attempt to change the ISBN for that book. We are a bibliography site and not a "what is available now" site. So we record every edition of a book. When a book is reissued, we do not update the old edition but instead create a new one. Go to the book, look at the left menu and locate "Clone". Use that to create a new copy for the new ISBN. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. Annie 03:28, 17 November 2021 (EST)
