Reginald1
All entries reconciled with Reginald1, including first edition information:. Issues:


 * Reginald1 lists Fahrenheit 451 (1953) as a collection. As a work, Fahrenheit 451 is a novel. It was twice packaged with the short stories "The Playground" and "And the Rock Cried Out", once in the 1953 edition, and later in the Doubleday 1967 edition. For our purposes we will continue to list the work as a novel. As Reginald also lists the 1954 edition as a novel, his 1953 entry is also essentially correct (although he states the 1954 edition was cloth-bound, when it was really asbestos-bound, which I guess we can forgive).

Tuck
All entries reconciled with Tuck, including first edition information:. Issues:


 * Reginald1 gives a page count for The Illustrated Man as 252; Tuck gives 256.
 * Reginald1 gives a page count for The Vintage Bradbury as 331; Tuck gives v+329.

The Martian Chronicles
The existing Bantam publications with contents in ISFDB are split into two groups based on if the story And the Moon Be Still as Bright has a leading dash/hyphen. It's not known yet if the publisher changed the title or if some ISFDB records are in error.

Bantam Books cover artists
Up to at least the 42nd printing the cover artist is not credited. From at least the 45th up through at least the 61st printing Ian Miller is credited with a cover that shows a "grand canyon" styled painting. At some point after the 61st printing a new painting was used that shows two people seated on a bench. The publications still credit Ian Miller but it's not known if this is correct.


 * The 91th printing has the "two people" painting and credits Michael Whelan on the back cover, although the copyright page credits Ian Miller. The same on Dragoondelight's 101st printing. ... clarkmci/--j_clark 02:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The same on the 80th printing. Patrick -- Herzbube Talk 17:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

R is for Rocket - Bantam printing history
At present there are some mixups in the Bantam editions as people added dates to earlier editions but it seems they did not always update the correct record and also failed to verify the edition they have in hand. I corrected the following
 * this record used to be dated March 1974. I changed it to September 1966 based on the printing history in the 10th printing, that the note said "1st Pathfinder Printing (3rd printing overall)", and that the price and catalog # would fit in for the 3rd printing. It's possible this entire record is a mishmash of data.
 * this record used to have the note "14th printing from the 16th printing." I changed this to be the 7th printing based on the date and printing history from the 10th printing. It's possible this entire record is a mishmash of data. --Marc Kupper|talk 23:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
