Hi, in a review, [https://jamesdavisnicoll.com/review/really-cant-stay James Davis Nicoll] is dubious that Fallen Angels is part of [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?39707 Dream Park Universe]. The series membership seems to be down to [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?2755028 a July 2015 edit of yours].  (FWIW [[User_talk:Nihonjoe/Archive_2]] covers that period, but I don't see any relevant talk items.

When preparing to PV [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?97031 1634: The Baltic War] and add a link to the CD-ROM pub, I noticed that the "Descendants of Henry Short" interiorart title on page xiii is missing. Any objection to me adding it? [[User:Philfreund|Phil]] 07:19, 18 December 2021 (EST)

Could I get you to double check the title of the last story in {{P|497064|Dragons at Crumbling Castle and Other Tales}}. We have it as "Father Christmas Goes to Work". However, the audio book has it as "Father Christmas Goes to Work at the Zoo". I had a look at the Amazon look inside features and the {{P|464952|UK edition}} has the longer title in the TOC, whereas for your edition the TOC has the shorter title.  If the title page of your copy matches the TOC with the shorter title, then I think we're going to have to make a variant.  If not, we can simply merge with {{T|2307213|this title}}.  There is one other verifier of the UK edition who last edited on December 11.  I'll leave a note on their talk page as well, but I don't know that we'll receive a response.  Thanks for checking. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 06:48, 26 January 2024 (EST)

Hi, Nihonjoe!

The titles of two stories as reviewed by the reviewer do not match the titles you have given. I've checked the [https://www.worldcat.org/title/noir-fatale/oclc/1056742830 Worldcat entry] on the printed book and also the "Look Inside" feature on [https://www.amazon.com/Noir-Fatale-Larry-Correia/dp/1481483978/ Amazon] (which only displays the Kindle version, which is what Google Books also uses). In all the cases I've seen, the short story titles by Griffin Barker and Laurell K. Hamilton are "A Goddess in Red" (as opposed to "The Goddess in Red") and "Sweet Seduction" (as opposed to "Sweet Seductions"), respectively.

I am creating and PVing a later printing of {{P|224593|Foundation's Edge}}.  Whilst adding the Prologue, I noticed that a Title record for it already appears to exist: {{T|925884|Prologue (Foundation's Edge)}} and the only pub record it relates to is the first printing, which you have PVd.  The Prologue is recorded as SHORTFICTION but I think it should be ESSAY.  The giveaway is this first sentence of a paragraph toward the bottom the first page: "In the Foundation Trilogy, the story of the first four centuries of the Interregnum is told".  Can you please check the Prologue in your copy to see if it is the same and let me have your thoughts on changing the Type.<br>Based on the Last User Activity Date, there are 3 PVs who are still active: Willem H, Taweiss and Nihonjoe, so I have posted this note to all your Talk pages.  I am a new editor, so am not sure of the correct etiquette for handling this situation, but it seems desirable to have the whole conversation in one place.  So may I suggest you reply on my Talk page.  Thanks.  [[User:Teallach|Teallach]] 17:45, 21 January 2022 (EST)

:::::::: Magazines are a whole DB on their own some days. I'd love to have the same rules for magazines and books but... I doubt we will ever get there. The whole "consistent with the cover" is in there to allow exactly that month addition I think -- just with a source being stated (but not all the way down to the date itself maybe - allowing dates on magazines which never have them will come down to a bit of a mess on dating based on different sources...). I'd be fine with 2021-10-00 on this one with a note "Month based on the Amazon.com" date" quite honestly (so it does not bunch at the end) - either that or 2021-00-00 as per the explicit example.

Hi Joe,

Hi, you have [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?834536 the tp of Beyond the Stars: Unimagined Realms] PVed.  I wandered across the bibliography page of one of the contributors, and noticed they had two "A Word from <author name>" entries, one [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2434339 an interview] that seems to have come from the 2018 ebook, and the other [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2907748 an essay] seemingly from the 2020 tp.  I checked a couple of the other contributors, and their bibliographies have similar dupes.

Can you help finding the Japanese series and title and author name [https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?1000813 here]. Thanks in advance! [[User:Anniemod|Annie]] ([[User talk:Anniemod|talk]]) 19:53, 21 March 2024 (EDT)

I checked the Amazon preview for the ebook, and it looks like these are indeed interviews - well, at least the first one, which is the only one visible in the preview.  As such, do you have any objections to merging the 2020 essays with the 2018 interviews, keeping the type and date from the latter?  (I assume that merging ESSAY and INTERVIEW records is technically possible...)

== Swan Song published in Canada ==
  
−
Also, [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2434327 the Joseph Robert Lewis story] is currently recorded as "Entaglement" (which seems to originate from the 2018 ebook entry) but the contents and copyright pages in the Amazon preview show it as "Entanglement". Is this simply a typo that can be fixed, or is it maybe something more complex e.g. where the actual story has the mis-spelled title, or perhaps a typo that was present in the first release which has been subsequently fixed?
+
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)?

Thanks. [[User:ErsatzCulture|ErsatzCulture]] 11:10, 20 February 2022 (EST)

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?

: EDIT: Doh, I just hit save on my edit, then scrolled up on your talk page and noticed there's a similar query about merging dupes a couple of items up, although I think that's about 2 dupes across different anthologies in this series, rather than different pubs of the same title?  I think my comment above still stands, but I'm starting to worry that I've inadvertently entered a Pandora's box/yak shaving situation.... :-( [[User:ErsatzCulture|ErsatzCulture]] 11:14, 20 February 2022 (EST)

::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.

Niven/Pournelle/Flynn's Fallen Angels and Dream Park Universe

Hi, in a review, James Davis Nicoll is dubious that Fallen Angels is part of Dream Park Universe. The series membership seems to be down to a July 2015 edit of yours. (FWIW User_talk:Nihonjoe/Archive_2 covers that period, but I don't see any relevant talk items.

As I've not read any of the works in question, I don't have a dog in this "fight", but just raising it in case you can recall any explanatory details that might be worth putting in a title or series note? Thanks. ErsatzCulture (talk) 11:51, 11 January 2024 (EST)

I'll see if I can find the source. I'm sure I wouldn't have added it if I didn't have a reason. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:19, 12 January 2024 (EST)
Well, after a bit of looking around, I can't find anything that indicates it's in the Dream Park universe, so I've removed it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:12, 16 January 2024 (EST)

Sacred Seven

Father Christmas Goes to Work

Hi Nihonjoe -

Could I get you to double check the title of the last story in Dragons at Crumbling Castle and Other Tales. We have it as "Father Christmas Goes to Work". However, the audio book has it as "Father Christmas Goes to Work at the Zoo". I had a look at the Amazon look inside features and the UK edition has the longer title in the TOC, whereas for your edition the TOC has the shorter title. If the title page of your copy matches the TOC with the shorter title, then I think we're going to have to make a variant. If not, we can simply merge with this title. There is one other verifier of the UK edition who last edited on December 11. I'll leave a note on their talk page as well, but I don't know that we'll receive a response. Thanks for checking. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 06:48, 26 January 2024 (EST)

I'll take a look. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:27, 27 January 2024 (EST)
The title page for the story has the shorter title, so I made the shorter title a variant of the longer title. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:52, 29 January 2024 (EST)
Thanks so much for checking. I got a response from the verifier of the UK edition and it appears that only the US editions with the exception of the audio book use the shorter title. I'll take care of swapping out the publications that need it. Thanks again. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 18:36, 29 January 2024 (EST)
Sounds good. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:54, 30 January 2024 (EST)

Iskateli: Fanzine de la SF Internationale: some (or all) things are seriously wrong

Hello, Joe! Since you approved of the submission for that magazine / nonfiction, could you please help in getting this record corrected? Please add comments or advice within this discussion item. Christian Stonecreek (talk) 14:28, 26 January 2024 (EST)

Sure. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:31, 27 January 2024 (EST)

Fanzine de la SF Internationale No.27

Since I found this fanzine I've been wondering how the confusing contributions by user Antunes can be corrected. I did my very best. Unfortunately, only some of the pages are available as scans on the website of WordPress and I'm not quite fluent in Japanese. :) Can You please have a look on that? Thank You! --Zapp (talk) 16:22, 26 January 2024 (EST)

Harlequin Butterfly

Hello Joe,

When you have a chance, can you see if you can find the original title of this novella? Thanks!

PS: It looks like we have a few more stories without parents for this author. Not sure how easy it will be to chase them down but if you have the time and desire to, the author page can use some help :). Thanks! Annie (talk) 17:05, 29 January 2024 (EST)

I don't know if that's a novelization of Gojira or what but if so or something similar maybe you might find it worthy of entering here (if it's not already). --Username (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2024 (EST)
It looks like that archive.org link is for a Chinese version of something related to Godzilla. I don't read Chinese (except for a very few characters), so I don't know what that is. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:09, 29 January 2024 (EST)
The butterfly title is here. I've merged/varianted everything. I'll see what I can do about his other works. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:07, 29 January 2024 (EST)

The Mummy

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?976311; Dot after Kevin J. Kennedy's first name prevents story from being in the same record as his others. I didn't check any other contents but you might want to see if there's anything else that needs fixing. --Username (talk) 22:18, 3 February 2024 (EST)

Shadowdance

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?930940; https://vaultofevil.proboards.com/thread/670/vampy-crew?page=3; Artist's first name is spelled differently at the Vault of Evil link and she is probably the same as this artist, https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?56801, price is different on cover, other piece of fiction supposedly by Ed Hyuck but probably this guy, https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?224679, lots of poetry, etc. So the author who gave the info may need contacting to verify or add things if you can get a hold of him. --Username (talk) 10:34, 4 February 2024 (EST)

I have no idea how to reach Kervin. And I gree that it's possibly the same artist for those two, but I don't have any way to find out. I've corrected the other things, though. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:26, 4 February 2024 (EST)

Tress of the Emerald Sea

Hi Joe,

Can you look at the two interior art records by Howard Lyon here? They (or at least one of them) need disambiguation of some type -- [2] for example. :) Thanks! Annie (talk) 11:40, 6 February 2024 (EST)

Fixed. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 12:58, 6 February 2024 (EST)
Thanks! I suspect you have no way to check if one of these matches the single record from the rest of the editions :) Annie (talk) 15:16, 6 February 2024 (EST)
Are you talking about this one? If so, the Tor editions do not contain all of the illustrations found in the Kickstarter edition. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:18, 6 February 2024 (EST)
That's the one. We need some notes around that in all these records I think. And I think I will disconnect the Bulgarian edition out from all of them until I get better idea of what they did use actually. Thanks! Annie (talk) 20:53, 6 February 2024 (EST)
I added a note here so that should be enough to keep things separate. Thanks for checking and for the explanation about the difference. Annie (talk) 21:17, 6 February 2024 (EST)
No problem. I have the Kickstarter editions as well as the Tor hardcover, so if you have any questions bout them, let me know. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:33, 7 February 2024 (EST)

Help:Contents

Joe, please reverse the change in background color here Blue print on a blue background is harder for me to read. Thanks, John Scifibones 08:15, 14 February 2024 (EST)

Maybe a complimentary color? John Scifibones 09:38, 14 February 2024 (EST)
How about now? It's a much lighter blue. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 10:31, 14 February 2024 (EST)

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.
