The Mote in God's Eye
I have approved the addition of the 2005 SFBC edition of The Mote in God's Eye, but I wonder where the price information ($5.99) comes from? Was it stated in an SFBC catalog, perchance? We generally try to indicate the source of any information that is not explicitly stated in the book, so if you could add that data to Notes, it would be very useful. Again, thanks for contributing!

- That price seemed rather low for a 2005 edition, so I checked on the Locus website, who gives the price as $12.99. Do you still have a copy of the catalog giving the price at $5.99 or was that a price for new members? I know they used to discount prices to attract membership back when I was a member (early 70s to early 80s). Thanks. MHHutchins 01:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Revolt in 2100
I have rejected the proposed change to the first printing of the 1986 Baen edition of Revolt in 2100 and created a new Publication record for the January 1990 (third) printing using Clone Publication instead. Keep in mind that when you use "Edit Publication", it overwrites the data that we currently have on file, so the best way to add subsequent printings is by cloning older ones. Again, thanks for the submissions! Ahasuerus 04:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
