Amazon Image URLs
Please take a look at Help:Screen:EditPub. Amazon images should be displayed without the "Look Inside" logo. this can be doen be deleting the section of an amazon URL that looks like _BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_

So that    becomes    which is shorter as well as looking better.

Name format
The custom at the ISFDB is to regularize all names including initials, so that every period is followed by a space. Using a single consistent format in this way makes name searches more reliable and consistent, and avoids having two listings for an author that differ only in spacing. -DES Talk 02:56, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

The Aphorisms of Kherishdar
You list The Aphorisms of Kherishdar as a COLLECTION, and your synopsis says that "The Aphorisms of Kherishdar collects 25 short tales ..." but you have not, as yet, entered the individual story titles. This can be done on the, using the "Edit This Pub" link on the left of the screen, under "Editing tools". -DES Talk 03:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
