"Alamanda" in Arcady
Can you confirm the spelling of the novel excerpt in this record? The novel was published as Allamanda. Thanks for checking. Mhhutchins 19:59, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * My mistake. Corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:33, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

"Plains of Passage", by Jean M. Auel
I added several notes to your verified first edition of this book. Chavey 16:38, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Dandelion Wine excerpts in The Vintage Bradbury
When you have some spare time, could you give me the first sentence of each of the four excerpts from Dandelion Wine published on pages 197, 204, 207 and 216 of this collection? No rush, just when you get the chance. I'm trying to confirm which chapters of the finished book appeared as separate pieces. Thanks. Mhhutchins 22:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Symbols link lost
you (I think it was you) sent me a link with alt-+ codes for symbols (like £) and google chrome ate it... could you please re-send that to me?

thanks Ofearna 19:38, 18 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Not me, but they're easy to find. You might try this one or this one. ☺ --Willem H. 19:45, 18 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Drat, neither of those are the one I was using... thanks so much.Ofearna 11:18, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

John Varley's "Air Raid"
When you get a chance, please read the message posted here. Thanks. Mhhutchins 06:07, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Corrected now. --Willem H. 15:00, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

"Daughter of Regals and Other Tales"
When you get a chance, could you please check whether your verified Daughter of Regals and Other Tales uses "and" rather than "&" on the title page? TIA! Ahasuerus 07:54, 30 October 2012 (UTC)


 * It's "&" on cover and spine, but "and" on the titlepage. I added a note to the pub. Thanks, --Willem H. 16:22, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

The Great Fetish
I don't think the artist is correct for [this] publication. The signature is not Savage's. Any artwork he's signed [that we have records for] is always his complete name or just "Savage" and quite clearly signed [there are several Heinleins that come to mind]. The credit that's in the notes is a FLICKR account, not what I would consider conclusive [and I would bet you didn't enter that]. The signature looks like Sttone, with the first 't' longer, below the line of the rest of the signature. The style doesn't seem to be Savage's either, quite different from the Heinleins for sure. Have a look, please. --~ Bill, Bluesman 04:27, 31 October 2012 (UTC)


 * You are right, but it was the only answer I got to this question. I moved Steele Savage to the notes, better I think. Thanks! --Willem H. 15:58, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thought I'd seen something before. --~ Bill, Bluesman 18:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Kraken
Can you check to see if Ballantine Books is given as the publisher on the title page of this record with Del Rey as the imprint? The Amazon Look Inside doesn't show the title page, but I've a strong feeling the publisher of record should be the ISFDB standard "Del Rey / Ballantine". Thanks for looking. Mhhutchins 06:26, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The title page has the Del Rey logo and "Ballantine Books". Corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 15:59, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Beyond the Barrier
Hi, I've added cover artist Jack Faragasso to this edition. Horzel 09:29, 1 November 2012 (UTC).


 * Thanks! --Willem H. 16:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Beachhead in Space
Added cover artist R. S. Lonati for this publication. "Lo" is a signature, see also here. Horzel 10:34, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * And another one bites the dust. I added the signature to the Artist Signature Images. Thanks! --Willem H. 13:36, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Brunner's Endless Shadow
Hello, Willem! Your opinion would be welcome here. Stonecreek 14:08, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Added my opinion there. --Willem H. 15:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Submissions to change contents in Beauty and the Beast on hold
Please join in this discussion when you get a chance. Thanks. Mhhutchins 18:14, 5 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I expressed my opinion there. I think the edits are good, but I do like to be informed of changes. Thanks for the heads–up on this! --Willem H. 20:13, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Jack Vance - Tschai, de Waanzinnige Planeet
I've just discovered that the cover of this publication is a repaint of two Chesley Bonestell paintings, see here. Horzel 21:48, 5 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice! They do look alike, don't they? I added a note to the pub record. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:25, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Lem's The Futurological Congress
Can you confirm that the subtitle as given on this book's title page is not given in parentheses? Thanks for looking. Mhhutchins 03:10, 8 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Shame on me. I corrected the pub record, feel free to change the title record. Thanks! --Willem H. 16:47, 8 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. That leaves only the first Avon printing which was PV'd by Kraang, who's in and out sporadically. I'll leave him a note. Thanks. Mhhutchins 04:30, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

The Light That Never Was
Hello, I've just replaced your scan by a slightly better one (my copy was less faded by the sun). Shouldn't the publisher be credited as "The Elmfield Press / Morley" with spaces ? (I confess that I didn't follow all the discussions on guidelines for entering publishers). Hauck 13:39, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You are right. I have to confess I didn't know much about the conventions about publishers back in 2009. Corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 17:22, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

A Planet for Texans
Before submitting that Arthur Renshaw is the cover artist for the Texan half of this publication, I'd like a second opinion. In my opinion, this signature on file at ISFDB matches the signature in the bottom left corner of [www.flickr.com/photos/admiralironbombs/6264765076/sizes/o this] scan. Additionally, Renshaw created some hardcovers (which were less colourful, as usual) for Doubleday in the same period (1958-61) that A Planet for Texans (Ace 1958) was painted. And askart.com lists an Art Renshaw as an artist 'known for: western, cowboys, southwest landscape'. Your vote please? Thanks, Horzel 12:26, 12 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I have my doubts about Arthur Renshaw. The signature on "A Planet for Texans" misses the first name (and is different i.m.o.) and the paintings are in a completely different style. The Art Renshaw you found on "AskArt" however looks like a winner to me. The signature here is definitely the same as on "A Planet for Texans". I think it's better to submit the artist as Art Renshaw, referring to that site. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:58, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Wizard of Storms
Just added cover artist O'Brien to this publication. Horzel 11:43, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Good find. Thanks! --Willem H. 16:11, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Dinner at Deviant's Palace
Just picked up the hardcover edition of [this] and it has the ISBN for the tp as 0-7011-3052-0. Is the linked record correct or did the ISBN get duplicated in a cloned submission? --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:05, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably a leftover from the cloning. Both ISBN's are on the copyright page, but only 0-7011-3052-0 on the barcode. Corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 09:24, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

CenterForce
Hello, it seems to me that the title of this pub is in one word instead of two. Can you have a second look ? Hauck 17:16, 19 November 2012 (UTC)


 * My second look says you're right. Corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:29, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Help with Perry Rhodan Title
I was hoping that you could help me with what I think is a magazine in my collection. Back in 1981 I attended a convention in Rotterdam and one of the items given to us at the convention was a Perry Rhodan story. I've uploaded scans of the cover, title page and the last page here. I don't speak Dutch (the convention was conducted primarily in English), and I was hoping that you could help me determine or verify: Any help you can provide on the best way to enter this item would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 14:19, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Is this a magazine, or a book? I'm guessing a magazine because of the copyright by "Born Periodieken B.V.".  It is bound like a magazine.
 * 2) This actually appears to be a Dutch translation of Perry Rhodan, #529: Die letzten Tage der Amazonen
 * 3) If it is a magazine, assume issue 529. I can't find a date anywhere.
 * 4) Assuming the publisher is Born and is probably the same as this one
 * 5) There appear to be two prices f2,65 and 44 fr. Are these Netherlands and Belgium respectively?
 * 6) I can't find any indication of the interior artist.


 * We could have met there. Hilcon 1981 was the first time I saw Authors like Jack Vance and Fred Pohl in real life!
 * About the Dutch Perry Rhodan, I will probably start that project in 2014. At the moment only one Dutch translation has been entered, because of the Ted White cover. It might be best to conform with this entry for now. To answer your questions:
 * The Dutch weekly is / will be entered as a Digest size magazine.
 * You're right, the numbering of the Dutch editions is the same as the German originals.
 * There's no exact date stated in any of the Dutch editions. This one was published in week 30, 1981 (see Perrypedia
 * The publisher is indeed Born (the same)
 * Prices are Dutch (currency sign is ƒ) and Belgian
 * Some of the interior art might be signed. I think all interior art in those days was by Johnny Bruck except for the technical drawings. Cover art is also by Johnny Bruck, when the original illustration is used.
 * No translator was mentioned in the series back then. I do have some documentation somewhere that I will dig out when I start to enter the magazine.
 * I hope this sheds some light. --Willem H. 20:21, 22 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank much for this.
 * We were indeed at the same convention. I recalled it as Beneluxcon, but it turns out that Beneluxcon 7 is Hilcon 1.  I recall Jack Vance.  I remember sitting next to him while someone had him sign a Dungeons and Dragons rule book.  I was primarily a fan of fantasy in those days and was not familiar with Pohl.  However, I do recall that Christopher Priest was also at that convention.
 * I've added my copy of the magazine. I've created a title series for the magazine.  Please feel free to change the name of the series if you can think of a better one.  I can add your copy to the series, if you'd like.  I'll also add the series to the Magazines page, but again wanted to give you a chance to change the name first.  Feel free to change any other details that you think would be helpful, either now or when you begin your project.


 * Thanks again. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 17:36, 25 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I added mine to the series you created. When I start the project, I'll inform you if I change/add anything. For now this will do. Thanks! --Willem H. 18:21, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

The Richest Corpse in Show Business
The cover artist for your verified here is very likely to be Keith Roberts instead of "K. Rogers", as per signature and other Compact titles (like this one). Hauck 17:00, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sharp! Corrected now. Thanks, --Willem H. 19:33, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Lehr credit
Michael dropped me a [note] matching two covers. If it is Lehr, it's quite different from his usual work. Could the credit have been left from a previous printing? Thanks! --~ Bill, Bluesman 16:52, 29 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. According to De Boekenplank, the second printing has the same cover. The illustration is also used on this book, also credited to Lehr. Jane Frank doesn't mention "The Unpleasant Profession etc". Your call I think. Thanks, --Willem H. 19:57, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

The Best of Henry Kuttner
Hi, I've changed the pagination of The Best of Henry Kuttner from 398 pages to xv+398 pages.--Dirk P Broer 16:35, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

"Ladies: Retold Tales..." by Doris & Boris Vallejo
You have a verified edition of this book, which had a story in it titled "Euridice". In my edition of the book, that story is spelled "Eurydice". I checked the OCLC entry for the book you verified, and it also spells it "Eurydice". Therefore I changed that title entry (for all editions of the book) to this spelling. Chavey 00:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Slip of the finger????? Thanks! --Willem H. 20:57, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Ballantine’s Classic Library of Science Fiction
Hi, I've made The Best of C. L. Moore (Ballantine, 1976) part of the publisher series 'Ballantine’s Classic Library of Science Fiction' as per the page that faces the title page.--Dirk P Broer 15:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

"Better Than One", by Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm
You participated in a conversation about this book. I have posted additional information on that thread, if you're interested. Chavey 00:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't have a copy of the book, only mentioned the info on the NESFA site. --Willem H. 20:50, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, thanks for having done so. That was what led me to the email exchange that specified the details of that publication. Chavey 23:13, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

New Writings in SF 22
Added cover artist Mike Little to this (Corgi 1974) edition. Horzel 10:00, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice find. I clarified the note a little (no pun intended). Thanks! --Willem H. 21:07, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Garrett parody
This title record popped up today on the clean-up script that finds variant title records with series data, and I saw that you'd recently updated it. The series data should be removed from the record because it also appears in the parent record (the only one that should contain series data). If you'll look at the series list (here), you'll see that the variant title appears twice, once with the parent and again by itself. This is the reason why we don't give series data in variant records. (If you're familiar with policy, please excuse my presumption.) Thanks. Mhhutchins 02:55, 12 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Oops, forgot that yesterday. Corrected now, and yes, I'm familiar with the policy. Thanks for the heads up though, I don't look at the cleanup scripts that often. --Willem H. 07:03, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

A Little Intelligence
Hi Willem, You might want to check the author credit for said story in this publication.--Dirk P Broer 11:13, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Checked, and mine is as stated. I asked Michael Hutchins to check his edition. Thanks! --Willem H. 16:04, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Agent of Chaos by Norman Spinrad
Re: Agent of Chaos

I have found two places that put date of publication as 1974 here and here. I'll leave it up to you if you wish to either change or add notes to that affect.

P.S. I also found one place that put the date of publication at 1972. Again, I leave it up to you about what to do.--Astromath 03:19, 14 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think the Amazon date is a reason to change anything. 1972 is an educated guess, and put there to place the pub between the Belmont and the Belmont-Tower editions. I did add the cover artist (from the 1970 Belmont edition though. Thanks, --Willem H. 17:21, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Beyond Earth's Gates
Added cover artist Harry Barton for Beyond Earth's Gates cover of this Ace Double. Horzel 10:03, 20 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice! Thanks, --Willem H. 19:19, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

The Last Planet / A Man Obsessed
Modified cover artist 1 from Barton to Harry Barton, cover artist 2 from Peyton to Bernard Barton, for this Ace Double. The Bernard Barton credit comes from this auction house. Horzel 14:48, 20 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice! Thanks, --Willem H. 19:20, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Buy Jupiter and Other Stories
Re: Buy Jupiter and Other Stories

I've made a change in the publication date and updated the notes. I found one source of the 1977 date here. I found 3 sources of the new date here, here and here. Since there was more sources for the 1976 date than the 1977 date, I changed the date in the pub.--Astromath 02:53, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Amazon dates are as reliable as the person who puts them there. I found a better source in Locus #198, and will ask Bluesman to reject your edit. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. --Willem H. 09:46, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

The Fury Out of Time
Re: The Fury Out of Time

I want to put forth the opinion that the ISBN for this pub is not a true ISBN by today's standards. Reason: It is used by two other pubs. I'd like to replace it with LB's catalog # of 318ZK, but I won't do it without your ok. I'm also informing Don Erikson (Primary2) of this opinion.--Astromath 14:23, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a plan. Leisure was not very good with ISBN's in those days. Don't forget to move the ISBN to the notes. --Willem H. 14:35, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * ISFDB catalog number entry standard is to have a leading "#". At one point this was required because the software would check for ISBNs and generate an error message for such numbers without the symbol. I don't think that's still true, but old habits die hard. I'll add the "#". Mhhutchins 22:52, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Beagle's The Folk of the Air
I've upgraded (to hardcover) my copy of Peter S. Beagle's The Folk of the Air which we have both verified. I am moving my verification to the transient spot since I don't intend to keep the paperback copy. I'm letting you know so you can take over the first primary verification, if you'd like. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 15:27, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. Thanks! --Willem H. 15:50, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Hugo Preyer chapbook
This publication would be typed as a COLLECTION under current ISFDB rules. Thanks. Mhhutchins 02:31, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * You are right. Corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 09:45, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Wild Cards novel Dead Man's Hand
I just discovered that my copy of this title is a second printing. I've removed my verification in the PV1 position and ask that you take over that slot. Thanks. Mhhutchins 03:22, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

BTW, please re-check the price, Another editor says the price of the first printing is $4.50, not the $4.95 which is currently given in the record. Mhhutchins 03:25, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. $4.50 is correct, I should have noticed that. Thanks! --Willem H. 10:09, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Dead Man's Hand
Re: Dead Man's Hand

Could you check your copy to make sure the price is $4.95 or is it $4.50 as mine is.--Astromath 03:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right. See above. Thanks! --Willem H. 10:10, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Wild Cards XI: Dealer's Choice
Re: Wild Cards XI: Dealer's Choice

Deleting "Wild Cards XI" from the title. Does not appear on title page. Adding notes about editor & assistant editor. Adding note about mosaic novel. Notifying verifiers of the changes.--Astromath 04:26, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

E. R. Eddison's The Mezentian Gate
Hello, Willem! Checking out for the whole rest of the year with a hint to this. You might want to have a second look at your verified publication. Stonecreek 15:27, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Answer is on Ron's page. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:10, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Star Trek 2
Re: Star Trek 2

Updating publisher to match title page.--Astromath 18:25, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Updates to primary-verified records of this nature should be discussed before a submission to change is made. I'll hold the submission pending Willem's response. Mhhutchins 19:10, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * The update for #2 is correct. I updated my verified pubs for the rest of the series (where necessary). Thanks, --Willem H. 21:09, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

"Galaxy of Ghouls", by Judith Merril
You are now the primary verifier for this book, so I'll mention a change I just made. The story "Desertion" was listed as by "Clifford D. Simak", but was actually attributed to "Clifford Simak", so I made that adjustment. Chavey 02:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Looks like I missed that. --Willem H. 19:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Encounter Program - Enstrom
Added cover scan and gutter code note to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?252695.SFJuggler 05:18, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * You also changed the publication date field. This note should have been left on the verifier's regular talk page. All changes to verified records should be discussed with the verifier before making the submission. I'll hold the submission for Willem's response. Mhhutchins 05:28, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I moved this message to where it belongs. The gutter code (S42) is there, but I would not set the publication date in december '77 based only on this. Locus #208 has this title in the "SF books for December 1977" section however, so the edit is valid. Please approve the edit, I will add further notes afterwards. Thanks, --Willem H. 13:36, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Submission accepted. Willem, when you get a chance look at the page that Marc Kupper and I wrote for gutter codes, which explains how they can be used as a reliable guideline for determining the publication date of a Doubleday-printed book. Adding four-six weeks to the gutter code date has been shown statistically to be an astoundingly accurate way to arrive at the publication date. This is based on my personal research, involving hundreds of Doubleday titles, both their trade printings and their book club printings. Comparing the dates with the Locus listings, review copies, SFBC catalog and announcement flyers, Amazon listings, etc. has shown that six weeks is the typical length of time between the books being printed and their being in the bookstores. A smaller percentage have been published as early as four weeks after printing. As long as the ISFDB editor gives the source for the date, I see no problem with their using the gutter code to determine the publication date. Mhhutchins 17:23, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I did read the gutter code page. Adding four-six weeks to week 42 comes to the second half of november, but Locus is a better source i.m.o. Added further notes. --Willem H. 18:44, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Emperor of Eridanus
Added the frontispiece to the contents for [this]. It's not credited but there seem to be two initials on it, one on each side at the bottom. Second is an 'N' but the first? Then again maybe it's just a massive hallucination ... ;-) --~ Bill, Bluesman 05:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Too many painkillers? It looks a bit like big fat initials (a Z???), but it could just as well be ornaments. :) --Willem H. 19:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Or not enough .... ! Still, nothing conclusive so uncredited will have to do for now! Thanks for looking. --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:03, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Still, Small Voice of Trumpets
Just making sure I have the same edition as [this]. On the copyright page of the copy I have are three dates: '69 for the Rapp/Whiting edition and two © dates '68, '71 but no date at all for the Sphere edition itself. Note has month as from amazon.uk. Does your copy have anything for the Sphere or is the whole date from amazon or some other secondary source?? Thanks. --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:11, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Mine is the same. I changed the note about the date to reflect this. Thanks! --Willem H. 09:54, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The Door Through Space
Have identified one artist for [this] from another set of covers, linked in the notes. --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:16, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

To Sail the Century Sea
Would Jane Frank happen to mention [this] cover/artist? Thanks! --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Alas, no mention of this title. --Willem H. 16:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

The Grayspace Beast
Just cloned the [record] for the above for the Canadian edition which has an edition/publication statement on the copyright page right under the title. Does your edition really not have it? That would be most unusual for Pocket. --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:56, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I must have been blind back then. Mine is the same, corrected the notes. Thanks! --Willem H. 16:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

All of Them Were Empty
Could you check the above story in [this]. The original Ballantine has the title with an emdash added at the end [you also have [it]]. I have a Canadian edition and don't want to create any variants, yet. Thanks for checking! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:45, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The emdash is on the titlepage, not on the contents page. Corrected both, varianted Michael's annd informed him. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:54, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for doing the chore! Cheers. --~ Bill, Bluesman 23:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Second Book of Robert E. Howard
Could you please provide more information on an item in the above pub, Letter to W. B. Talman? The date and the first line would help me merge/variant it with other Howard letters to Talman in the data base. Bob 11:55, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * First I changed the title to "Letter: Robert E. Howard to Wilfred B. Talman, circa September 1931", as it appears on the titlepage. The letter starts with "Dear Mr. Talman: Thank you very much for the letter you wrote to Street & Smith. I know" etc. I'm pretty convinced it's the same as this letter. Does this help? --Willem H. 21:05, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that's exactly what I needed! Bob 23:53, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

The Mind Spider
Now have a copy of [this] and the signature of Rane is much more evident [spine and edge have no creases/chips or fading] so have added the credit to the record. Had to search to find the [original] discussion! Unfortunately the binding is so tight I can't fold open the cover far enough to get a decent scan of the signature ... don't want to break the spine. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 20:17, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Mine is too faded for a decent scan, so we'll have to do without for now. --Willem H. 21:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Essay in The Language of the Night, 1989 edition
I just noticed that my 1993 edition has an essay title of "A Citizen of Mondath" not "A Citizen of Mondrath." Could you take a look at your copy of and see how it appears? Much appreciated. BungalowBarbara 03:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It's "A Citizen of Mondath" on both titlepage and contents page. No confusion here. --Willem H. 16:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Already corrected per verifier of another edition of the book. Appears to have been a mistake in the first entry of the book that never got caught. BungalowBarbara 21:13, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I have also added some additional Notes to which give more information about the revisions. BungalowBarbara 21:13, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all this! --Willem H. 21:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Exile Waiting
Found a signature on the cover of [this], bottom edge left of the leading figure is 'Kresek' in a faint lilac print, hard to make out. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:56, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Not visible on my copy. Thanks for the info! --Willem H. 16:48, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Daybreak - 2250 A.D.
I have what appears to be the same edition as [this]. Cover is the same [front] but there's no "Third Printing" statement on the copyright page. Back cover is 'split the same way the front is with the title/author in the blue upper portion and two blurbs in the lower white portion [Washington Post/New York Herald Tribune]. After the last page of the story is "Ace Books presents A Checklist" followed by nine pages of titles. This catalog # should be the second Ace printing. --~ Bill, Bluesman 10:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Mine is the same. I have no idea how the "Third Printing" statement came to the notes, it should be erased. Thanks! --Willem H. 16:40, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Done! Thanks for checking. --~ Bill, Bluesman 20:58, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Mystic and Rider
My paperback copy of Mystic and Rider has a map before the numbered pages, credited to Kathryn Tongay-Carr on the copyright page. What about ? BungalowBarbara 01:30, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The map is there. The same map is also in the other volumes of the series. I added & merged them. Thanks! --Willem H. 08:47, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Onmagiër: De Heer van de Diepten
In your verified, there is a "Westelijke Eilanden (map)" and "Oostelijke Eilanden (map)" both of which are marked as shortfiction. Should these be INTERIORART instead? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:59, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Of course, corrected now. Thanks for finding this! --Willem H. 20:03, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Operation: Gravity
Think this one slipped by a merge as in the [pub], at least in the second printing, there is no colon in TOC or title page. Variant exists. --~ Bill, Bluesman 22:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Star Trek 3
You verified Star Trek 3 where the copyright page lists the publishing dates for 1st - 11th printings. I just uploaded my copy of the 10 printing. Could you add the date from your printing to this pub and note where it came from? Thx. BTW, I'm asking MartyD as well. You can get with him if you wish to see if he has it readily available to do it. Thx again.--Astromath 15:34, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Done. Publication date is september 1972. I also informed Marty. --Willem H. 20:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thx--Astromath 23:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Your verified pub. of Sladek's Keep the Giraffe Burning
Hello, Willem! Happy New Year (I count this date as still fresh)! If you have time for it, please take a look at this discussion. Stonecreek 14:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * See Dirk's page for my comments and additions: I hope this is OK for you. One more thing: There was a note I removed about the fragmentation of Heavens Below. This didn't belong to the book in my opinion but to the shortfiction. There wasn't any authorship mentioned for this note. Did you by chance put it up (or do you know who did it)? Stonecreek 10:44, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks better now. The note probably came from Bill, I can't remember adding anything like that. Thanks for taking care of this! --Willem H. 19:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

The Spider: Robot Titans of Gotham
I'm going to make a couple of small changes to Norvell Page's The Spider: Robot Titans of Gotham. I'm changing The Octopus from a novel to a novella and I will make it a variant of the original appearance as "The City Condemned to Hell". Locus1 has it as a novella, as does Miller/Contento for the original appearance. I'm also going to add an interior art item for the cover of The Spider on page 353. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 02:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem for me. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:44, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Fungi from Yuggoth
Is the poem Night-Gaunts in accompanied by a Whelan work seen here? According to Wonderworks it should have... O&#39;Fearna 12:11, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * No illustration by Whelan in Fungi from Yuggoth, but the poem next to the illustration in Wonderworks (page 76) is by Lovecraft. --Willem H. 12:32, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * So, I should add the poem to the contents of Wonderworks... Can do! O&#39;Fearna 13:15, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Black Colossus Story Length
You verified Conan the Freebooter from Sphere that contains this story. The story is currently classified as a "Short Story". I believe it's length clearly indicates it is a novelette, which seems apparent comparing it to other stories in this pub. Please let me know on my discussion page what you think about reclassifying it. Bob 19:17, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

The Wrong End of Time
Corrected the date for [this], somehow it had the year for the hardcover edition even though the year for the pb is on the copyright page. --~ Bill, Bluesman 22:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This was brought up on Bill Longley's page by Don Erikson but nothing was changed ... --~ Bill, Bluesman 22:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * And I didn't notice it. Hmm, I'll have to revisit my verifications, in 2020??? Thanks! --Willem H. 16:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

The Plains of Passage
Shouldn't have some mention of the maps/endpapers? O&#39;Fearna 21:45, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add them. Don't forget to inform Darrah Chavey. Thanks, --Willem H. 16:49, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

"Climb the Wind", by Pamela Sargent
I added an "About the Author" to the contents of your verified publication, since at 2 1/2 pages it's longer than most of these types of essays. Chavey 04:42, 23 January 2013 (UTC)"
 * Thanks! --Willem H. 16:49, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

The Embedding
Seems Michael has found a conundrum! [Here], if you would care to have a peek! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Verification question
This C.J. Cherryh book you and four others verified as being the 1st printing as per number line with "Printed in Canada". My 1st says printed in the US. Now there is no entry for a US printing. So is the there a Canadian printing with with a number line starting with a "1"? Is it a contributor's typo? Could five verifiers made the same mistake? Seems unlikely. I'd like to enter the US printing if these aren't the same book. I'm sending this to the other four verifiers to help figure this out.Don Erikson 00:24, 28 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Mine is printed in the U.S.A. If you create a clone, I'll move my verification. Thanks! --Willem H. 16:11, 28 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I've created a clone now. Thanx for the info.Don Erikson 19:00, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Laumer/Retief and the Pangalactic Pageant of Pulchritude
Hi -- you verified this publication as an OMNIBUS; see this conversation for why I think it should be a COLLECTION. If you agree, would you change it to COLLECTION? If all verifiers agree I can then change the title record to COLLECTION also. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk) 18:24, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with this. The honor goes to Ahasuerus as first verifier, I see he already made the change. Thanks, --Willem H. 19:42, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Mathews/Matthews
Hello, can you have a look at this pub to see if it's Mathews or Matthews that's given as author (there's only this text attributed to Matthews). Thanks. Hauck 16:01, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Nice catch. It's Mathews in my pub. Let me know if you want me to change it. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:37, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Changed. Hauck 11:31, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Survey Ship
Think the artist credit for [this] record is incorrect. The 'signature' on the cover is that of Clyde Caldwell. Fabian's signature is pretty much always a simple 'SF', which is present on all the interior art pieces. [This] publication, which we both have, has the same 'glyph' and is credited to Caldwell. Also, I think the credit for the interior art could be changed as on the title page the credit is to "Steve Fabian". I know we generally don't use the author credit as on the copyright page, but I can't recall any standard for artists if printed credits conflict. In this case it's a variant, whichever is used. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 18:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * You're abslutely right about the cover. Corrected now. I left the interior art credit as it was. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Quadfileg vs Quadflieg
Hi Willem, I take it that you (or an earlier editor) made a typo with the name of the interior illustrator of this publication. I've changed the name to Quadflieg.--Dirk P Broer 16:02, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Could be. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Upon the Dull Earth
Can you confirm the spelling of the cover artist credit given in this record? The trade edition which matched this spelling was just corrected to the artist's canonical name. Thanks for looking. Mhhutchins 23:15, 16 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I must have missed that. It's Sienkiewicz, corrected now. Thanks! --Willem H. 09:46, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Zelazny's This Immortal
Looks like Ace made another botched attempt at numbering their printings. I just entered this record which gives the first four printings, so I assumed it was the fourth. Then I noticed you have a record with the same printing history. Except that the price in the Note field doesn't match that given in the Price field. Because of the difference in price, I'm tempted to make my record into an undated printing which mistakenly carries the copyright page of the previous printing. What do you think? Mhhutchins 19:02, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I have no idea where the wrong price came from. I might have managed to miss the difference, but it's corrected now. Also added notes. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

The Star Wasps
Hi! Added cover credit for your verified from "Outermost: The Art + Life of Jack Gaughan". Thank you. ForJohnScalzi 00:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC).


 * Good find. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:37, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Donnerjack date
Noticed you have updated the [record]. Not sure why Bob would think the date on the CoA would be the publication date. Once that one certificate is signed there would need to be 800-1100 copies printed [depending on the limitation] and then the books sent out ['published']. I'd be willing to bet the time-lag to be 6-8 weeks, certainly not doable in one day! Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 20:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The same thought here. I asked Bob on his talk page. ☺ --Willem H. 20:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

H. G. Wells: Critic of Progress
Could you please take a look at this discussion. It's looking like the piece in the Haffner Williamson collection may only be part of the Mirage Press book. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 02:03, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Responded there. --Willem H. 10:03, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

The Hyborian Age
I would like to reclassify "The Hyborian Age" from ESSAY to SHORTFICTION. The piece is obviously fiction; there are two pubs containing this content that I don't believe should be called NONFICTION based on the label ESSAY on "The Hyborian Age". You verified De Stem van El-Lil and Conan the Avenger with this content. Please comment on the proposed reclassification at my page. Bob 03:09, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Responded there. --Willem H. 10:04, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

The War in the Air
Added the two Prefaces to the contents of [this]. Wells certainly gets 'testy', doesn't he?? --~ Bill, Bluesman 04:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes he does. I merged them with the existing prefaces. Thanks! --Willem H. 19:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Upon the Dull Earth
I've just picked up a copy of the trade edition of this title, and have a question about the record you verified of the leatherbound edition. My copy clearly credits only PKD as the author of the Notes. I'm uncertain of the co-credit for "uncredited". Thanks for looking. Mhhutchins 01:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

One more thing: there were two ISBNs assigned for this title according to the copyright page of the trade edition. The limited edition ISBN is given as 978-7-59606-511-6. Does your copy have the ISBN of the trade edition? Mhhutchins 01:55, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I must have overlooked the ISBN. The dust jacket gives only the ISBN for the trade edition, the one for the limited edition is only mentioned on the copyright page. Confusing, but corrected now. Thanks!
 * The credit for the notes comes from the line "All notes in italic are by Philip K. Dick". I.m.h.o. this means all notes not in italic are by someone else, who is not credited in my copy of the book. We had a discussion about the notes in the first volume here and here, resulting in the current credit, but no agreement. I'm slightly in favor of removing "uncredited" as author and adding notes, but have no strong feelings either way. --Willem H. 08:00, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * All good, except that all notes are italicized. Other than a chronological listing of the story titles giving the delivery date and original publication of the works, what part of the notes were written by an "uncredited" person? If we are to give the editors credit for creating the list, then every table of contents in every book in the database would have a separate content entry credited to the editor(s). In the past I deferred to those who did primary verifications of the record. But seeing them myself, I can see no logical reason to credit an "uncredited" author. Maybe it's different in other volumes of the series? Mhhutchins 16:40, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Agreed. With joy in my heart I removed uncredited from the notes. The first two volumes have more non-italicized notes (about 50-50), so I left the credit there for now. --Willem H. 21:15, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Underscores/dashes in Poe titles
I'm entering contents of another Poe collection, and as I'm doing so I'm coming across more definitive evidence that dashes were used (either consistently or at least more widely) than underscores in the titles with parts omitted. I think I am largely responsible for the original underscore representation. Now I am inclined to change them. You have verified, which has instances of many of these titles. First of all, I must apologize because I changed a couple that appear in this without asking, before I realized they were in this verified publication. Second, would you look at it and let me know what you think about using dashes instead of underscores? If you need more details, let me know. Another verified collection with a lot of the titles in it,, has an Amazon Look Inside that shows use of dashes there, so I'm hopeful. If you agree with the change, too, I will post a general notice on the Community Portal and set about changing them all and adjusting any notes where necessary. If you don't agree with the change, I'll go the variant route (and will restore the few I already changed -- apologies again for doing that). Either's fine with me and about the same amount of work. Thanks. --MartyD 11:26, 17 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm all in favor of dashes, because that's how it's on the titlepages in my book. Feel free to make the changes, and no need to apologize. Thanks! --Willem H. 15:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

"A Morley Book"
Would you think that Morley is the publisher of this book, or more likely an imprint or publication series? See this discussion about another book with the same credits. Thanks. Mhhutchins 20:52, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

And this one which actually gives the publisher as "Morley"? Mhhutchins 20:53, 3 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I like the publication series suggestion. I changed both, and clarified the notes. One "publisher" down. --Willem H. 17:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * You can add the Elmfield edition of 'Swampworld West' to the series, judged by the cover.--Dirk P Broer 23:14, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks & done, but you could have done it yourself of course. --Willem H. 19:40, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Eddy C. Bertin's "The Whispering Horror"
BTW, I seem to recall that you did some work on 's bibliography a while back. Fixer has found a new collection of his works, which is about to be released by Shadow Publishing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the TOC... Ahasuerus 22:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Finally a Bertin collection in English. I found the contents here, and managed to link most stories to their original. Thanks! --Willem H. 14:15, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Great, thanks! Ahasuerus 15:20, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

JW
Turns out the 'mystery' artist is Jack Woolhiser, initials and credit are on [this] cover!! Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 20:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Hope I'll remember this the next time I see the initials. --Willem H. 19:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

The Silmarillion
I have been asked to start a discussion as to whether or not J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion should be considered a collection or a novel with multiple parts. I haven't read this book, I just listed a French translation of this book on this site. Still, it looks like a collection to me. Please enter this discussion here and weigh in on the subject. MLB 21:42, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Responded there. Thanks, --Willem H. 20:20, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Do Androids Dream
Found a signature on the cover of [this] but can't make it out. Seems to start with 'Opa...'? Bottom left. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I see the signature, but it doesn't ring any bells. Copied your note to my edition. Thanks! --Willem H. 07:42, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Variable Man
Found a signature on the back cover of [this], Charles Mikolaycak. Added to the record with note. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! --Willem H. 07:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Vulcan's Hammer
Found Freas' kf on the cover of [this]. About a cm below the left edge of the hammer head. Altered the notes. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! --Willem H. 07:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Left Hand of Darkness
Seems to be one too many records for [this], a second one [here]. Both appear to be the same ... ? Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 19:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure I verified an existing record. Since Ron was first, and I can't find any proof for the 1970 publication date, I moved my verification and deleted the duplicate. Thanks! --Willem H. 20:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I think the 1970 date is accurate and that Ace hurried a printing to take advantage of the Hugo; Ron notes this. Are there any ads in the back? I have been accumulating an extensive body of data about the ads, which I hope to turn out sometime in the next few months. They can be most informative! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:21, 20 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Two pages of ads in the back. #7 starts with 00950 After Things Fell Apart Goulart 75c and #18 starts with 05590 Beyond All Reason Macklin 60c. Hope this helps. --Willem H. 08:12, 20 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Not much. #18 and other ads featuring non-genre titles I've paid little attention to as they don't appear in genre books very often. #7 was in use from mid-70 until late '72, but we already know this book falls in that range. --~ Bill, Bluesman 14:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Starship Troopers cover art credit
I've accepted a submission that gives the cover art credit for this record to John Schoenherr. I've left a message on the new editor's talk page about ISFDB policy concerning primary verified records, and clarified the source for the credit. Mhhutchins 23:27, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! --Willem H. 08:21, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Clans of the Alphane Moon
Found a signature on the cover of [this]. Meltzer is on the gun running bottom up just left of the index finger. Very hard to see as the lettering is almost the same colour as the background. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:56, 23 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Confirmed, very good find. Thanks! --Willem H. 06:08, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Rocket Ship Galileo
What ads are there, if any, in the back of [this] edition? My copy seems identical but the ads can't possibly be from 1970. Thanks! --~ Bill, Bluesman 02:39, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Five pages of ads. In order: 15 (Edgar Rice Burroughs), 17 (6 novels by Robert A. Heinlein), 8 (Ace SF doubles), 14 (The world's best award-winning SF) and 7 (Award winning SF specials) --Willem H. 15:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Was kind of expecting that. Bloody Ace!! I always wondered how/why there was such a gap between the first Ace printings of the 11 Heinleins and the seconds ['70/'71 to '75/'76]. My copy, which has the original #73330 and 95¢ has ads 15A, 17B, 12-72-8C, 11-72-14C and 7. The last is a leftover, the others putting my copy in late '72 or early '73. Bet this isn't the only one they did this with. I'm not going to do anything with this just yet. Am just up to the 'Ls' in a current go-through geared to identifying ads/dates. This time I'm doing a spreadsheet. Too hard to see all the data when it's on paper. I may have some more questions, too! Thanks for checking. --~ Bill, Bluesman 23:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem. Most of my paperbacks are easy to access. --Willem H. 15:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Tunnel in the Sky
And could you check if there are ads in [this] as well, since I'm sure you keep Heinlein in one spot. Thanks! --~ Bill, Bluesman 03:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Three pages here. 32 (Perry Rhodan), 33 (The best in Ace SF) and 17A (11 novels by Robert A. Heinlein). Good luck! --Willem H. 15:36, 24 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Same as mine, which presents a problem. The Perry Rhodan ad lists up to #11, which didn't come out until Jan '72. I'm sure Ace knew what was coming up but that's 16 months later than the date of the Heinlein. Seems way too organized for Ace!! Thanks for checking! --~ Bill, Bluesman 23:19, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

The Best Laid Schemes
Hi Willem, signature JHB (with 'negative spacing') on cover of this publication is of J.H. Breslow. Horzel 14:08, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I added the artist and corrected the notes. --Willem H. 15:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Postmarked the Stars
Does your copy of [this] have any ads in the back? Mine has 11-72-14C and 15A. Stuart Wells has 03/1971 for this catalog# which I think is reasonable for the linked record, but there's no way it would have a 1972 ad. I think Ace may have printed this twice without changing anything except the ads, pattern that is showing up a few times as I go through. Thanks for looking! --~ Bill, Bluesman 19:02, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Two pages in my copy, #14 (Award winning SF) and #15 (Burroughs). No A or C :). --Willem H. 19:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Most interesting. The numbered ads didn't appear until November '70. 14 was in use until May '71, so at the very least the existing record could be updated. There may have been three printings with the same catalog#. I'll create one new record for the copy I have. Thanks! --~ Bill, Bluesman 20:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
