I would completely ignore the web version if there was a print or ebook verson. If you don't have an ebook or print version of the pub, the web data can be used to enter the date as long as you make it clear in the pub the source of the data.

| − | Just verified [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?23857 #9]], added the artist from signature on the cover, then discovered that the contents had '''no''' stories in common with the similarly numbered UK edition. A little digging and found [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?23853 #7]] has only three stories in common with the UK edition and [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?23855 #8]] also has '''no''' stories in common. #1-#6 are fine and Bantam did not do any past #9. I am thinking these three should be unmerged, placed in a sub-series with [Bantam US] or maybe just [US] appended with appropriate title notes to prevent future merges. You are Primary on 8/9 [I just have 9], Rtrace is Primary on 8 [I'll direct him here] but the Primaries on 7 are both inactive/unresponsive. I can do the work, just want some feedback/suggestions.

| − | :I prefer the sub-series and notes to prevent merges rather than changing the title of the individual anthologies. However, in looking closer at the series, it looks like we may have different titles that should be variants in any case. It appears that the verified copies of the UK editions have the title in the form "New Writings in S.F.-1". In general, the Bantam editions follow the parent title form "New Writings in SF 1" (#1 actually has "New Writings in S-F 1"). I think we may actually have a lot of titles that should be variants (where the contents are identical) or just unmerged (where the contents are not). It would probably be good to get a physical verification for of the title. I don't know what we should do with the unverified ones, but Reginald1 has yet a third form of the name for the first editions (Dennis Dobson) for all of these: "New Writings in S-F 1". He also has the 3 Bantams listed as having different contents and yet more formats of the title where the Corgi edition was first ("New Writings in S.F.-11") or Sidgwick & Jackson ("New Wrintings in SF (21)"). I'll go through Reginald and adjust any unverified listings in the next day or two. --Ron ~ [[User:Rtrace|Rtrace]]<sup>[[User talk:Rtrace|Talk]]</sup> 11:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I've no real evidence that POD is what these bar codes mean, but I've observed them on small press books that have come out in very small batches. The other possible difference with your copy is that mine has a symbol of an open book with a lightning bolt either striking it, or coming out of it.

This situation has been discussed several times over the years, and one of the two approaches has been accepted: 1) Each of the works is considered an individual story with its own title record and the group title isn't entered into the publication record (in some cases, the stories are entered into a "series" as the group title (see [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?9744 here]), or 2) Each of the works is considered a part of a single story, and only the group title is given in the publication record (see [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?56732 here]). As it stands now [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1736461 this record] tries to do a mix of both methods and doesn't succeed very well. You can see how the "story" appears three times in every publication due to the varianting done of the three "parts".

| − | ::::Oh, goodness, Gerry de la Ree owned all of the illustrations used in his books, and the Finlays were also used for the four Underwood-Miller books. That's why there are so many repeated illustrations between the two sets of books. <i>The Collectors' Book of Virgil Finlay</i> has some of the same illustrations, I would guess because one of the three collectors whose illustrations were used bought some of de la Ree's collection after his death. I've bought illustrations by Finlay, Freas, Bok, Emsh, Krenkel, Fabian, Dameron and others. The artists' name and address are usually stamped on the back or the margins of the illustration so they can be returned to the artist after they are photographed for publication. I think it's pretty standard for illustrators. In fact, I remember reading about some publishers who didn't return Frazetta work, and Frazetta was pretty upset about losing it.

For Bridesrun, I've cross linked the 2 titles and the single title though the notes. I can do the same with Sirens, unless you'd want to consider the two illustrations as separate.

| − | ::Thank you. Actually, there are 10 books I'm working on, six from Gerry de la Ree and four from Chuck Miller (or Underwood-Miller). There is a lot of overlap; I think de la Ree's collection was the basis for both series. I actually have three more hardcover books to enter (two Japanese, one Spanish), plus a number of fanzines. The only way I can match those will be with the books I have already entered, since I'm a lousy linguist and most of the fanzines don't define the sources at all. I've finished well over half of the work already, I think over 3/4. I hope to finish the entered material this month. I really appreciate your help and that of a very few others who have extensive collections of the pulps; many of Finlay's later work is in magazines still under copyright, so not duplicated on line.

The [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1096345 review of "The Balance of Power"] uses an incorrect story title. The correct title appearing in [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?311253 Windsor Magazine October 1907] is [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1096314 "The Balance of Nature".] I've provided links to online scans at multiple sources confirming this in the Magazine issue record and also a link to Google books preview of the Index, where the incorrect page is available for viewing. I left the Review titled as it appeared in the index, however I also added notes to the review documenting this error and again providing links to the available scans. I wasn't sure if we should leave the review titled incorrectly as it appears, or if we should change it to eliminate a a linked review with an unmatched title. Thoughts or input?

Also the intro and preface are listed in the contents as p8 and p10 but the actual pages themselves are unnumbered so should they be changed to [8] and [10]?
