-== The Earth Gods Are Coming ==
-Hi Willem, I see you want to unmerge one of these pubs "Of Earth Foretold" from "The Earth Gods Are Coming", is the variant wrong or is it something else. I ask this because at my end it doesn't indicate which title is to be unmerged(no title displayed). When doing an unmerge with variants it has to be done from the variant title and you did the unmerge from the parent title "The Earth Gods Are Coming". Thanks.[[User:Kraang|Kraang]] 02:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

-:::::::Fixed, no variants needed to be broken, just a new collection title record created and merged. It can get confusing as you navigate through the various records (novel title, collection title, 2 collection pubs) called "Of Earth Foretold", but I think it is all proper if you look closely, and some confusion is inherent in the way this was published. The novel is a varient, but the collection is not.

-There is something a bit odd about your recent new pub submission of a 2nd printing of the pb Del Rey edition of ''Dragon's Egg''. You date it 1983-10-00 with a price of $2.95. But {{P|DRGNSGGVJH1984}} is recorded as the '''3rd''' printing, with a price of $2.25. Either your entry is in error, or the record for the 3rd printing is in error, or the price went '''down''', which, to say the least, unusual. I see another mod has approved this, but would you recheck, please? -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 20:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

It also has a five-digit booknumber (also started in 1968) and the Ace Image Library dates it in 1969. 1966 is the copyright year (first british publication was in 1967), so I think it's safe to assume 1969 is the right yeear for this pub.

-== Mr. Adam ==
-I just approved your submisison of a new pub for this title. However, your pub looks like a duplicate (although with more detailed data) of {{P|MRDMNMHCFF1949|this pub}}. If so, MRDMNMHCFF1949 should probably be deleted. It often saves time to check for an existing duplicate and add info to it, rather than adding an entire new pub, if one exists. And if the existing pub has been primary verified, or has info not included in the new pub, an awkward situation may result. Just a note for the future. Thanks for all your work. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 20:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
-: I did notice this one. Checking for duplicates is one of the things I (almost) always do these days. The pub youre aiming at has a different (later) publication date, so it must be a later printing (the stated first printing can't be right, since mine is the 4th). There's also [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?MRDMFDMQVV1948 this printing], which could be the first, but has no information at all. [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 08:27, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
-::You are right, I apparently didn't look closely enough. I have deleted  MRDMFDMQVV1948 as a duplicate -- it at any rate gives no info beyond that already present. I suppose it is possible that pocket books considered the 1949 printing a new edition for some reason, but then I would expect the catalog number to have changed.

-== Testament  -- unstable Amazon LZZZZZZZ  URLs ==
-I just approved your update to your verified pub {{P|34865|Testament}}. I notice that it uses an amazon LZZZZZZZ URL for the cover image. IN case you were not aware of it, such URLs are unstable -- when/if a new edition or printing with a different cover but the same ISBN comes out, Amazon makes such URLs point to the new cover, and if the book is well out of print, Amazon sometimes causes such URLs not to work at all. To gt a more stable Amazon URL:
-#Go to the amazon sales page for the publication (using the side bar link is an easy method for pubs with valid ISBNs).
-#Check if the cover image displayed is correct for the pub. Assuming it is:
-#If the image has a "view larger image" link available, click it.
-#Right-click on the displayed cover image
-#Select "Properties" for the pop-up context menu that appears
-#Copy the URL shown for "Location" in the "Image properties" section (the exact lapels may vary depending on your browser and the image involved, but it will be pretty clear which field is relevant).
-#Paste this into the address bar of another browser, or another browser tab (or edit it in any text editor).
-#If there is a section such as ._SS500_. or ._SL500_AA240_. just before the "jpg" extension, delete it leaving only a single period (dot).
-#Display the resulting URL in a browser to make sure it goes to the right image (this checks against editing errors).
-#Edit the publication record.
-#Copy the URL to the "Image URL" field.
-#Submit data.
-Or you may choose to download the Amazon image, and upload it here, just as you would with any scanned image.
-If the Amazon Image is already wrong, delete the  "Image URL" from the publication record unless you can find a correct one, or scan and upload an accurate image. No image is better than an incorrect one.
-If you already knew all or most of this, my apologies. I figured it was better to give you the info than not. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 20:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I own some 450 (most of them 70's and 80's) DAW titles, there should be some things in there he doesn't know yet. The copyright page with the ten lines of (First through Tenth printing) was used for a few months in 1973 I believe. Most titles between number 40 and 50 were that way. I'll do some more research.

-:You're right. J19 on page 181. Does that mean Doubleday used gutter codes in all publications and not only in the book club editions? I submitted a change. Thanks for noticing. [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 17:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
-::Yes, from mid 1958 until mid 1987, 99% of all Doubleday trade books and book club reprintings had [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Gutter_Codes gutter codes]. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 18:17, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
-== Your recent edit to Dune ==
-In your recent edit to {{P|11582|this pub of ''Dune''}} you added a map on an unnumbered page. The convention is to list page numbers (derived by counting) for unnumbered pages in [brackets]. Or one can use the spefcial codes listed in [[Help:Screen:EditPub#Page]], such as "bp" (for unpaginated pages before the first numbered page) and "ep" (for unpaginated pages after the last numbered page). -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 20:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
-:I know I know... where is my mind. I changed my [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?DNJVDFFZZQ0000 other edition] of Dune too. Thanks [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 20:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

-== Grayspace Beast ==
-Added a cover image to [[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?TGRYSPCBST1977 this]]. OCLC credits "Illustration" to Rick Sternbach without specifying cover or interior. If there are no interior illustrations, then it's a source for the cover artist and that  "in my opinion" note could be deleted. If there is interior artwork it should be noted. OCLC # is in the notes. ~BIll, --[[User:Bluesman|Bluesman]] 20:07, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
-: You're right about Rick Sternbach, but it's indeed an interior illustration. Added this, and the LCCN. Don't know how I could have missed this, Rick Sternbach is mentioned on the title page. The cover artist stays sadly empty, and the "in my opinion" note stays for now. Thanks for noticing. [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 20:24, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
-== REH's ''The Garden Fear'' ==
-I see you're doing some clean-up of Robert E. Howard titles and wonder if you think [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?530469 The Garden Fear] might be a typo for [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?63606 The Garden of Fear]? The first title only appears in the two editions of ''Pigeons from Hell''.  The Ace edition was verified by a non-active editor, but you did some updating of the Zebra edition, and I thought you might have a copy.  According to the ''Howard Works'' bibliography, both should be "The Garden of Fear". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 14:40, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-: I noticed that after my first submission, so I waited for this to be accepted. I was just about to make new submissions for this story. In my edition of ''Pigeons from Hell'' (the Zebra) it is ''The Garden Fear'' on the contents page, which is obviously a typo, as the credits and the story itself have it as ''The Garden of Fear''. A think we can safely assume the Ace edition is the same. By the way, I would also add the story ''The Thing on the Roof'' to the Ace edition, and change credit for the Introduction to Glenn Lord. It looks the same as the Zebra edition, even the pagenumbers are the same. I'll drop a note on Unapersson's talk page about this. Thanks [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 15:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-::Keep in mind that the table of contents credit doesn't matter. How is it credited on it's on title page? If you think the Ace should be identical to the Zebra, you can leave on note on Unapersson's page, but go ahead and make the correction.  He's been inactive for some time now.  Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 15:07, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-:::I see you've merged the two records before I wrote the above.  The merge and updates were approved.  Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 15:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-== Mechanical Mice by Maurice A. or Maurice G. ==
-Can you check your verified copy of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?DVNTRSNTMN1975 Adventures in Time & Space] to see if "Mechanical Mice" is credited to "Maurice A. Hugi" or "Maurice G. Hugi"?  I believe that typo has been perpetuated since the first edition.  I have the second Ballantine printing and it incorrectly credits "Maurice A. Hugi".  If you discover that the entry is incorrect use the add and remove method to correct it as the story has several reprints as by "G.". Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 15:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-: You're absolutely right. It's "Maurice A. Hugi". I made the first submission (I'll merge them afterwards). Thanks [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 15:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-::I only noticed this because Harry (Dragoondelight) brought the error to my attention, and I had to correct my copy. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 15:27, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-== Taverel Manor ==
-I'm holding your submission updating [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?846286 this title record].  By changing the author credit here, you'll also be changing the credit as it was published.  It has only appeared in one publication, and I doubt that Lupoff is credited explicitly on that story's title page.  (I could be wrong.  Do you have a copy of [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?SKLLFCQQLF0000 Skull-Face]?)  There appears to be enough evidence to create a variant of Lupoff being the co-author, but we want the pub record to reflect how it's credited. Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 20:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-: I just finished my submission of Skull-Face. That was a hard one. Yes, Lupoff is credited explicitly as co-author on the story's title page. The title page of the story has '''Taverel Manor*''' in big black letters, and in the lower left corner '*With Richard A. Lupoff.' So this was a deliberate edit. Should I have mentioned this in the story notes? Thanks [[User:Willem H.|Willem H.]] 21:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
-::No, that's fine.  If you verify the pub, then you're verifying the credit given to the contents as well.  I'll accept the submission.  Another string loosened from the tangled web that is the credits for Robert E. Howard and his co-authors (necrophiliological or not). Thanks. [[User:Mhhutchins|MHHutchins]] 21:46, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
