Since I found [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?983981 this fanzine] I've been wondering how the confusing contributions by user [https://isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/User_talk:Antunes#Iskateli:_Fanzine_de_la_SF_Internationale Antunes] can be corrected. I did my very best. Unfortunately, only some of the pages are available as scans on the website of [https://nebulosafanzine.wordpress.com/2010/04/13/iskateli-fanzine-of-science-fiction-internacionale-n%c2%ba-27-summer-1986/ WordPress] and I'm not quite fluent in Japanese. :) Can You please have a look on that?

Hello. I see that you have changed the Swan Song entry I added for the book published in Canada by changing the publisher to Pocket Books (Canada). The book's title page states "Published by Pocket Books New York" over "Distributed in Canada by PaperJacks Ltd., a Licensee of the trademarks of Simon & Schuster, Inc." and the copyright page states  "POCKET BOOKS, a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y.10020" above "In Canada distributed by PaperJacks Ltd., 330 Steelcase Road, Markham, Ontario". So, I'm not sure - do these two statements verify that the book was published by Pocket Books (Canada)?

Hi. I'm sure you made some mistake 2021-03-29 re two 1982 publications of 1970 novel ''No Flying in the House'' T{{t|29895}} as Harper Trophy. ISBN 0-06-440130-8 fits Harper Trophy 1982. Unfortunately Amazon.com now reports 1970 (must be 1st ed. of the work) and 2020 50th Anniversary edition for the two ISBN.
+
:I assume you mean [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?1000402 this one]? If so, you didn't include any of that information in your note. Feel free to update the publication with that information, and then correct the publisher accordingly. My change was based on the notes you included stating that everything was done in Canada. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]</small> 14:12, 24 March 2024 (EDT)

There must be some clues in our attributions of ''No Flying in the House'' artwork to illustrator {{a|Wallace Tripp}}: 3 cover art Titles as 1970 and 1 interior art as 1982.  
+
::Thanks for the reply. I will add the info as per your suggestion and I'll change the publisher back to Pocket Books until there's more knowledgeable information found regarding the real publisher. My guess is that Pocket Books got a Canadian company to do the printing, with a new cover and copyright page for Canada, (possibly PaperJacks) and then had it distributed by PaperJacks as per the statements on the title & copyright pages.

::: Nihonjoe, you are the last editor of both reported 1982 Harper Trophy, 1982-00 which gives no source at all (now looks to me, you only removed an obviously wrong cover image), and 1982-08 with surprise data which gives no source but Amazon.com undated.

:::# Wallace Tripp has so outlandish an assortment of <i>No Flying</i> cover illustrations because on that day, by oversight or presumption, you credited the Amazon "Illustrator" with coverart rather than interiorart.

−
:::# "pb" or "tp" must also be a common presumption, or an extension of what (we think) we know about a publisher/imprint. Amazon commonly reports no size. For ISFDB ''No Flying'' softcovers, today by ASIN or ISBN, Amazon.com reports size only for the one it has redated from 1982 to 2020. (It reports simply "Paperback" thruout I don't know what "Mass Market Paperback" means at Amazon, when it is used correctly there.) Probably our database should be refined use "mp" and "tp" for mass and trade, and "pbk" for paperback. --[[User:Pwendt|Pwendt]]|[[User talk:Pwendt|talk]] 10:25, 28 March 2023 (EDT)

::::"Outlandish" is a pretty outlandish use of the word. He's only credited with the original cover art as well as the interior art. Regarding your confusion of types of books, I can't really help you there. Here, "pb" means mass market paperback (and some smaller formats) and "tp" means trade paperback. It's explained pretty well [[Help:Screen:NewPub#Format|here]], including sizes.

::::: My edits were approved, thanks. Forgot to mention the 2 cover art removals of Tripp were actually done by the Filipino artist Macky Pamintuan, who I have a pending edit for adding a photo and a few other things, in case anyone gets around to doing more with these books and wants to add his name if they can figure out which edition was the first with that cover art. Also re: Tripp, https://www.etsy.com/listing/689308766/1966very-rarehildy-and-the-cuckoo, which supposedly is rare (no copies on Archive.org) but I notice the LCCN is different than the one on ISFDB (and philsp.com); not sure why, but that info may come in handy if anyone works on that book.

I am trying to figure out how Yen On's recent translations of [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?71440 this series] map onto the Japanese originals, but I am not having much luck. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deer_King Wikipedia article] says:
 +
* Kadokawa published the original novel in two volumes in September 2014, and then republished it in four reprinted volumes between June and July 2017.
 +
As far as I can tell, Yen On reused the cover art from the first and the ''third'' volumes of the 2017 Kadokawa edition, but Wikipedia says that their 2 books map onto volumes 1 and 2. Also, these two books' Amazon.com's Look Inside files are for the manga version, but it appears to be an unrelated problem.

You are the only other active verifier of a publication containing the {{T|1028474|introduction}} to Tolkien's translation of 3 medieval poems.  Yours is in {{P|296274|this collection}}. We currently have this introduction attributed to Christopher Tolkien. There is a note its several other appearances that state while Christopher signed the preface, the introduction and other essays are not signed and the attribution is from Locus (Perhaps [http://www.locusmag.com/index/t741.htm#A37112 this record] though it could be from an issue). I'm about to enter the audio book of {{T|1752430|this title}}.  It has the same essay, though it is split into three (before each poem), I've verified it against my paper copy. What is interesting is that the first two parts of the essay are specifically credited to J.R.R. Tolkien in the audio book.  The third part just states it is an introduction to "Sir Orfeo" without an author attribution.  I'm thinking our credit to Christopher for this essay is incorrect and I'm proposing changing it to J.R.R. giving the audio book as a source.  However, if your book actually credits Christopher, then it is more complicated we'll have to decide who we think actually wrote the introduction.  Could you check your copy and assuming that it appears without credit, let me know if you have any objections to this change. Thanks for checking.  --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 08:41, 21 April 2024 (EDT)

This is tangential to the Portal discussion, so I'm posting on your User Talk. My reference to '''movie''' was that you had replaced movie with script/screenplay, suggesting the movie itself was not an option. I was advocating for something more like "movie, script or screenplay". My apologies for not being clearer. ../[[User:Holmesd|Doug H]] ([[User talk:Holmesd|talk]]) 08:16, 26 April 2023 (EDT)

:That's the thing: I didn't replace it. I added some additional wording prior to "movie". My suggestion was "novelization '''of the screenplay or script''' of a movie, TV show, game, or other non-written work". I didn't remove any of the current wording, but rather added the bold part. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]</small> 13:13, 26 April 2023 (EDT)

:: It's amazing what primary school concepts come back to haunt in old age. Your suggested text changed the noun ''movie'' to the noun-pair ''screenplay or script'' and made movie an adjective that modifies them. To me, this is replacing the subject of the sentence from movie to screenplay/script. This revised wording suggests that making a novelizations directly from movies without a script or screenplay was not allowed (as with Luana), and that scripts from plays were also excluded (e.g. Peter Pan), which may or may not have been your intention. The discussion of proper wording can continue in the forum(s), I just wanted to take the discussion of my use of ''replace'' aside as it really has no bearing on the actual discussion. ../[[User:Holmesd|Doug H]] ([[User talk:Holmesd|talk]]) 14:09, 26 April 2023 (EDT).

:::You're being disingenuously pedantic. The word "movie" was not replaced, in any sense of the word. I simply added additional words before "movie". Nowhere did I explicitly discuss nouns or adjectives in any of that, and neither did you until just now. And, as I stated, plays are not excluded (I specifically addressed that in my comments). They fall under the "other" in the full sentence. Not sure why you seem to have this particular bee in your bonnet, but it's not productive. My comments were very clear and you're purposely taking things out of context and trying to imply I did something which I clearly did not do. Please drop it. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]</small> 14:58, 26 April 2023 (EDT)

When you have a moment, could you please review [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?69817 this series] by {{A|Eiko Mutsuhana}}/六つ花えいこ ? The subtitle of the English translations of volume 1 includes the word "Boyfriend" while the subtitle of volume 2 includes the word "Girlfriend". Since I don't know Japanese and haven't been able to find the originals on Amazon JP, I can't tell if one or both of our parent titles may be wrong. TIA!

:It looks like that's correct, though the Japanese title doesn't indicate that. I would have translated it as "Lover" instead of "Boyfriend" or "Girlfriend", but I can see why they did it. The first book is from her perspective, and the second is from his perspective. I've added transliterations for them. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]]</small> 16:59, 8 May 2023 (EDT)

That's why it has a 1995 date on the Mythos Online page, because it was a Christmas card, and I assume the Crypt of Cthulhu appearance either didn't happen or they confused it with the online site.

Hello Joe,

Can you look at [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?952419 this one] and add transliterations where needed (and fix anything I messed up). I was working from Russian and Japanese sources and I think all I got from the Russian side checks out on the Japanese one but as I do not speak or read Japanese, I'd appreciate a second look. Fantlab has scans of the covers and the title page - the back cover has a price but I am not sure if it is for a later printing (as I cannot read this title page) so I left the price empty. Can you fill that in as well if it makes sense? Thanks! [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] ([[User talk:Anniemod|talk]]) 18:24, 24 May 2023 (EDT)

Swan Song published in Canada

Hello. I see that you have changed the Swan Song entry I added for the book published in Canada by changing the publisher to Pocket Books (Canada). The book's title page states "Published by Pocket Books New York" over "Distributed in Canada by PaperJacks Ltd., a Licensee of the trademarks of Simon & Schuster, Inc." and the copyright page states "POCKET BOOKS, a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc. 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y.10020" above "In Canada distributed by PaperJacks Ltd., 330 Steelcase Road, Markham, Ontario". So, I'm not sure - do these two statements verify that the book was published by Pocket Books (Canada)?

Another interesting item is that the "Published in Canada" is a completely different font versus the rest of the book. Any ideas as to why?

One72guy (talk) 12:30, 23 March 2024 (EDT)

I assume you mean this one? If so, you didn't include any of that information in your note. Feel free to update the publication with that information, and then correct the publisher accordingly. My change was based on the notes you included stating that everything was done in Canada. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 14:12, 24 March 2024 (EDT)
Thanks for the reply. I will add the info as per your suggestion and I'll change the publisher back to Pocket Books until there's more knowledgeable information found regarding the real publisher. My guess is that Pocket Books got a Canadian company to do the printing, with a new cover and copyright page for Canada, (possibly PaperJacks) and then had it distributed by PaperJacks as per the statements on the title & copyright pages.

Nahoko Uehashi's The Deer King

I am trying to figure out how Yen On's recent translations of this series map onto the Japanese originals, but I am not having much luck. The Wikipedia article says:

  • Kadokawa published the original novel in two volumes in September 2014, and then republished it in four reprinted volumes between June and July 2017.

As far as I can tell, Yen On reused the cover art from the first and the third volumes of the 2017 Kadokawa edition, but Wikipedia says that their 2 books map onto volumes 1 and 2. Also, these two books' Amazon.com's Look Inside files are for the manga version, but it appears to be an unrelated problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ahasuerus (talk) 16:02, 1 April 2024 (EDT)

Sir Gawain Introduction

Hi Nihonjoe -

You are the only other active verifier of a publication containing the introduction to Tolkien's translation of 3 medieval poems. Yours is in this collection. We currently have this introduction attributed to Christopher Tolkien. There is a note its several other appearances that state while Christopher signed the preface, the introduction and other essays are not signed and the attribution is from Locus (Perhaps this record though it could be from an issue). I'm about to enter the audio book of this title. It has the same essay, though it is split into three (before each poem), I've verified it against my paper copy. What is interesting is that the first two parts of the essay are specifically credited to J.R.R. Tolkien in the audio book. The third part just states it is an introduction to "Sir Orfeo" without an author attribution. I'm thinking our credit to Christopher for this essay is incorrect and I'm proposing changing it to J.R.R. giving the audio book as a source. However, if your book actually credits Christopher, then it is more complicated we'll have to decide who we think actually wrote the introduction. Could you check your copy and assuming that it appears without credit, let me know if you have any objections to this change. Thanks for checking. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 08:41, 21 April 2024 (EDT)

I can check when I get home tonight. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:09, 22 April 2024 (EDT)
Okay, I've carefully reviewed the book and updated the publication record. The introduction to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is definitely by Christopher as the author mentions "my father" at least once in it. I will go and place a note on that title indicating that. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 16:51, 23 April 2024 (EDT)
I'm going to push back slightly here. What you say about referring to "my father" is certainly true of the Preface which begins "When my father, Professor J. R. R. Tolkien...". While I have only skimmed the introduction, it never appears to go into first person. It begins "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are both contained...". There are 6 sections with titles and Roman numerals. I just want to make sure you're not conflating the two essays. Thanks again. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 17:24, 23 April 2024 (EDT)
Page 241, second to last paragraph: "...are in accordance with my father's wishes." This is part of the Introduction. The Preface is pp. 225-227, so definitely the Introduction. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 17:57, 23 April 2024 (EDT)
