PREFERENCES FOR NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO PRIMARY VERIFIED RECORDS
  • If you've come here to inform me that you wish to make any change to a record I've verified, please click HERE and add it to the bottom of the list. A link to the pub record would be appreciated. You can proceed to make the submission.

Thanks. Susan

Welcome!

Hello, Ofearna, 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! Mhhutchins 00:54, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Lansdale's Savage Season

Hi Susan -

I believe you had mentioned in another thread that your books were in storage. When you have access to them again, could you double check the ISBN for Lansdale's Savage Season. I added the Worldcat number for this one, but it has a different ISBN, 0929480538 (or perhaps 092948052X, but I think that's for the slipcased edition). The ISBN we have, 0-929480-22-8, matches the one listed in Locus1, which is likely the source for our record (It predates your verification). While I suspect that one of the secondary sources is incorrect, I suppose it is possible that the book bears multiple ISBNs. Once you can verify what's in the book, we can add a note explaining the discrepancy. Thanks for checking, though I know it may be a while. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 09:13, 22 January 2023 (EST)

I'll check when I can Susan O'Fearna (talk) 16:12, 22 February 2023 (EST)

Jim Warren's Bizarre

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?521337; Is there an extra Beyond in the title? It's there 4 times on the page, but the promo in the contents only has 1 Beyond and so does the cover image. --Username (talk) 00:50, 27 January 2023 (EST)

You're right! There's too may "Beyond"s... dammit! Susan O'Fearna (talk) 18:18, 28 January 2023 (EST)
OK, so you as PV are going to fix that, right? --Username (talk) 18:34, 28 January 2023 (EST)

Year of the Lucy

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?50687; I added cover artist, Tom Galasinski, from back flap of Archive.org copy in a (pending) edit. --Username (talk) 19:05, 6 February 2023 (EST)

Warrior's Woman printing and date.

Hi Susan -

Your verified publication of Johanna Lindsey's Warrior's Legacy is dated June 1990 and has a note from the copyright page stating that it is the date of the First Avon Printing. However, there is an additional note stating "RA 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3" which to me looks like a number line indicating the 3rd printing. There is a scan of the first printing which has a full numberline. I'm going to clone your publication to create a record for the first printing. I think the date on your record should be changed to unknown (0000-00-00) unless you have further information that the first three printings were all published in June 1990. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 18:53, 20 February 2023 (EST)

your plan seems fine - these are more romance than scifi really but actually do belong here... Susan O'Fearna (talk) 16:13, 22 February 2023 (EST)

Return To Avalon

https://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?27988; It's Pallencar in the book, shouldn't that be the name here and made a variant of his real name? Also, the last 2 pages are unnumbered and just a list of contributors, not even mentioned on contents page, shouldn't page count be 398? --Username (talk) 11:15, 26 February 2023 (EST)

make and annotate any changes you feel are necessary - I still can't get to my books post-surgery with another probable in the near future Susan O'Fearna (talk) 11:28, 26 February 2023 (EST)

Best of MZBF II

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5602974; I assume the 2 wrong names in the essays were entry mistakes and not actually in the book, right? --Username (talk) 11:36, 9 March 2023 (EST)

I corrected the one I saw that was wrong... (eluki bes shahar)... what other one? (thanks) Susan O'Fearna (talk) 03:06, 13 March 2023 (EDT)
The other one that was in the link I provided to you at the top of this message where I corrected both of them; the backlog of pending edits has grown so huge again that you had time to answer and correct something yourself before a moderator could even approve my edit, so correct the other one so I can cancel my edit now. --Username (talk) 07:27, 13 March 2023 (EDT)
what other one? Susan O'Fearna (talk) 23:46, 13 March 2023 (EDT)
There's only 2 essay fixes in my edit, the one for the author who writes their name in lowercase, which you said above has been corrected, and the other one, Stickland to Strickland. Click the link at the beginning of this discussion and you'll see it. --Username (talk) 00:07, 14 March 2023 (EDT)
oh, well then that submission should be approved.. great changes! Susan O'Fearna (talk) 00:12, 14 March 2023 (EDT)

The Asylum of Dr. Caligari

Hi, Susan! I added the day of publication to this: at least OCLC gives the year 2017, and it should be published simultaneous to the first print edition. Christian Stonecreek (talk) 09:16, 10 March 2023 (EST)

Cool, i got it (and many others) from HumbleBundle so didn't have any idea when it was actually published Susan O'Fearna (talk) 03:06, 13 March 2023 (EDT)

MZBF Story

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?60886; I randomly saw this and checked the archived copy because I was sure it was supposed to be Moat; turns out it is Moa (some kind of bird) but it also turns out title is different on contents page vs. story page, Supposed being Suppose, so I've made an edit (awaiting approval) changing it to Suppose. I assume your copy is the same. I didn't leave a note in the magazine's record about the difference but you may want to and may also want to double-check to make sure there are no other differences that need fixing. --Username (talk) 09:52, 19 April 2023 (EDT)

It's a one-page short-short... and it's definitely MOA as in the extinct giant carniverous bird Susan O'Fearna (talk) 02:36, 20 April 2023 (EDT)

Damnation

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?347419; All other issues on ISFDB are published by Books, not Press. Can you check and fix if necessary? --Username (talk) 11:05, 23 April 2023 (EDT)

I can't get *to* my stuff, but I'll change it per your recommendation Susan O'Fearna (talk) 01:23, 24 April 2023 (EDT)
OK, but I see from an online search that many sites refer to the publisher (apparently one of several over the magazine's history) as Damnation Press while many other sites refer to it as Damnation Books. So I wonder if their name changed somewhere along the way; it would still be good if you could check this issue and any other issues you may have PV when you get a chance to verify how they were named inside the issues since online info can't be trusted. --Username (talk) 09:40, 24 April 2023 (EDT)

Schoolbooks & Sorcery / Riverdale Avenue Book(s)

Hi, I've taken the liberty of making a minor edit to one of your pubs. It had "Riverdale Avenue Book" as the publisher, and was the only pub against that publisher. As "Riverdale Avenue Books" was copied into the pub note, I've assumed the publisher field was just a data entry slip of the keyboard, and added the "s" to switch it to a publisher with many other books. Hope this isn't a problem. Thanks ErsatzCulture (talk) 11:57, 15 May 2023 (EDT)

Cool, thanks Susan O'Fearna (talk) 22:54, 16 May 2023 (EDT)

Dark Swan Bundle

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?514894; I've been fixing the few Zebra Books on ISFDB that should be by their later name, https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/publisher.cgi?132, so your PV should probably change publisher's name to the latter. --Username (talk) 11:56, 23 May 2023 (EDT)

I PVd it as it appeared when it was published. If you think it should be changed, go head. Susan O'Fearna (talk) 00:43, 25 May 2023 (EDT)

Otherwere

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5674999; I added link and fixed reg. title date but just wanted to make sure your copy doesn't have a number on p. 261, just an About the Editors page with no number (that's why I changed count from 261 to 260), and that the note about "To Be Continues III, Inc." is actually as I corrected it to. --Username (talk) 08:27, 26 May 2023 (EDT)

All my books are still packed away.... if I ever get well (friggin' surgeon!) and get to unpack my stuff I'll check - for now I see no problem with the changes you made. Susan O'Fearna (talk) 12:19, 26 May 2023 (EDT)

Pirate Stew

I added the ISBN and narrator template to this one so it would no longer trigger either exception report. John Scifibones 07:21, 27 May 2023 (EDT)

cool, still need to make one more pass on all my audiobooks... Susan O'Fearna (talk) 06:43, 29 May 2023 (EDT)

Adventures in the Dream Trade

Will you be submitting the necessary publication edits referenced in your 'note to moderator' here? You might add your opinion to Mhhutchins title note so someone else doesn't change it again. Thanks, John Scifibones 07:55, 27 May 2023 (EDT)

here Susan O'Fearna (talk) 06:45, 29 May 2023 (EDT)

Languages reminder

Just a reminder to watch out for the languages when importing covers: for example here, you imported an English cover into the Dutch books. Instead a new cover should have been created and then varianted. I had fixed that one and working on some more you added but just heads up. Thanks! Annie (talk) 13:56, 30 May 2023 (EDT)

After the End

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?417779; I added 2 Archive.org links in a pending edit and I see intro is titled "Introduction: Before After the End", so if your copy says the same it should be fixed. --Username (talk) 11:49, 3 June 2023 (EDT)

James C. Christensen & Thomas Canty

Hello Susan, I saw your webpage where you have the cover art credited to Thomas Canty and thought you might like to have a look at this conversation where the art credit is resolved to James C. Christensen. Kev. --BanjoKev (talk) 09:26, 16 July 2023 (EDT)

The Eerie Triangle

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?11969; I fixed/added a lot of stuff. --Username (talk) 08:47, 22 July 2023 (EDT)

It has been a couple weeks and all the changes look correct so I approved the submission. Let me know if you disagree. John Scifibones 09:18, 4 August 2023 (EDT)

Triskell Tales 2

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?82980; Your notes include the word fictious; should that be corrected to fictitious? Also, should design be by Desert Isle, not Desert Idle? The dates are also unclear, with the book and the cover art being May, the collection title being May 1, and the intro having no date except the year. --Username (talk) 08:55, 7 August 2023 (EDT)

He'll Come Knocking at Your Door

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/view_submission.cgi?5744365; I fixed cover artist (no period after S) and added some other stuff. --Username (talk) 12:39, 17 August 2023 (EDT)

thx Susan O'Fearna (talk) 03:07, 27 August 2023 (EDT)

From Black Rooms

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?131021; Archive.org link, cover artist, imported Munch's The Scream (title page). --Username (talk) 20:20, 26 August 2023 (EDT)

huh? Susan O'Fearna (talk) 03:08, 27 August 2023 (EDT)
Those are things I added in 2 separate edits to this book that you PV. Credits for Tom Hallman and Edvard Munch are on archived copy's copyright page which I assume are there on your copy, too, right? --Username (talk) 07:26, 27 August 2023 (EDT)

Sacred Ground

Please double check the list price of Sacred Ground. Amazon and Audible both say $20.99. Thanks, John Scifibones 15:52, 20 September 2023 (EDT)

Tantor, kobo and audiobooks all say msrp is $24.99 Susan O'Fearna (talk) 23:32, 24 September 2023 (EDT)

Thanks for confirming, John Scifibones 08:36, 25 September 2023 (EDT)

Veiled Web

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?49331; An archived copy was uploaded in 2014, the same year you PV this edition, and while adding the link just now I noticed page count entered here is 357, not 355, and cover artist is entered as Nielsen, not Nielson like it says on the copyright page (same in the original PB), so if yours is really 355 pages and artist is Nielson can you fix those? I'm also going to ask PV of 2nd PB printing about this because they entered artist as Nielsen, too, so either they made the same mistake or the publisher corrected the name in later printings. --Username (talk) 12:08, 24 September 2023 (EDT)
