The Bane of the Black Sword
You verified The Bane of the Black Sword. I have a couple of questions about it.


 * 1) Can you please re-check the ISBN and or cover price?  I would have expected 0-87997-316-1 is $1.25 and 0-87997-421-4 is $1.50 but you have 0-87997-316-1 $1.50.
 * 2) Is the DAW No. stated as 254? It's probably in the yellow box in the upper-right corner of the front cover.
 * 3) Also in or near the yellow box does it state UY1316 or UW1421?
 * 4) Is the ISBN a single line on the spine 0-87997-421-4 150?
 * 5) Is the copyright 1977?
 * 6) Exactly how is the first printing and the number line worded?  Is it "First Printing, August 1977 / 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"? (I guessed 3rd printing as you did not state which is is).
 * 7) Is it Printed in USA (at the bottom of copyright page)
 * 8) Finally - there is a cover scan of the 1st printing at  but I can't quite read what it says under the title in red.  It looks like "The 5th ??? in Elric of Melniboné".  What's the word after 5th and is the rest accurate?

TIA! 22:40, 4 Jun 2007 (CDT)


 * I'll try and dig it out tomorrow and have a look. --Unapersson 18:07, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

The Oxford Book of Fantasy Stories
I've held this submission although it looks correct: I own a copy myself and this image looks fine, but I'm a bit worried about Brin1's recent edits adding the wrong cover-art to one of MY verified pubs, so I'd like to start a mod-level discussion about when it's OK to add things to verified pubs or not. Feel free to approve it anyway. BLongley 15:58, 6 Jun 2007 (CDT)

New Worlds for Old
Please comment on User_talk:Hall3730 and which is a pub-update to something you verified. Thank you. 06:02, 7 Jun 2007 (CDT)

The Lost Travel(l)er
Can you double-check the number of "L"s in this pub please? BLongley 15:35, 25 Jun 2007 (CDT)
 * You win this round. Mine was a duplicate, so I've sent it to /dev/null. I can't believe I missed the two l thing, as that's one of my pet peeves. I hate the one l spelling :-) Clearly it causes me so much psychological trauma that I've started mentally blocking it out. --Unapersson 17:24, 3 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * I read so many American publications that I lose track of what my peeve is about at times! I'm still pretty sure about "Grey/Gray" variants (although I've seen "Gray" on British editions now :- and "Color/Colour" but I am now very confused about "-ize" versus "-ise". It used to be so easy to taunt the Americans with offers of missing "U"s - OK, I can usually still do that - but the Z/S switch might be a sneaky fight-back against the Queen's English... ;-) And I'll always have my favourite peeve over apostrophes, so I can remain a grumpy old man indefinitely. :-) BLongley 17:54, 3 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * Have you looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-ize#-ise_.2F_-ize recently? :) Ahasuerus 18:33, 3 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * No - I think I'll let the Firefox spell-checker deal with that for the moment until I come down with a definitive opinion. I've survived my trip to St James's Park (apostrophe and/or second "s" arguable) underground/tube station (terminology arguable), to visit New Scotland Yard ("New" questionable), and am still debating about the "alternative train service" that involved walking for forty-five minutes on my way back home. Still, I survived the ordeal, and may even have appeared on CNN or a few other foreign TV channels as "man walking by looking nervous". I DO have a "MIB Visitor" souvenir now, so that's going to look cool tomorrow! :-) BLongley 18:50, 3 Jul 2007 (CDT)

Spell of the Witch World
Hi. You verified Spell of the Witch World. I have a copy of the book and it differs in some details from the publication record that you verified. Being a newbie on ISFDB, I am unsure what to do now. Maybe I really have a different publication in front of me, but first I would like to double-check with you before I do anything rash :-) Can you please help me with the following questions?
 * 1) The publication record states (in the Notes field) that it is a third printing. Where does it say so on your copy of the book? I cannot find any hint about the printing anywhere in my book, but maybe I am missing something.
 * 2) The publication record does not have an artist reference. However, on the verso of the title page of my book there is a sentence "Cover and interior art by Jack Gaughan." Do you have that sentence, too?
 * 3) The publication record lists the content in a different order than they appear in my book. I have "Dragon Scale Silver", followed by "Dream Smith" and finally "Amber out of Quayth". Do you have the same order? Or does the ISFDB software simply list publication content in alphabetical order?

Maybe the following helps to determine whether we have the same or different publications:
 * Does your copy have this cover illustration?
 * Does your copy have an advertisement in between pages 96 and 97? My copy has one, it's about Kent cigarettes.

Thanks for your help. Herzbube 18:50, 1 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * I can't answer the first two, but as Unapersson seems a bit quiet at the moment, I can help with the third: you have to enter the page numbers to get the entries into the right order, the lack of them in this publication means you can't imply anything about the order in his edition. BLongley 14:16, 2 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * To address the first question, are you familiar with what they call "the number line" in the industry? There is an explanation in our archives, which we hope to convert to a proper Help page soonish. Ahasuerus 14:27, 2 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * My first idea what the "number line" is came from [this help screen page]. Nice and simple. The archived explanation that you point out is much more frightening, and I am glad that the book I have here has no number line, so I don't have to think about it :-) Thanks anyway for the link, it's in my bookmarks now. Herzbube 18:39, 3 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * And another thing it took me a while to find that you may not have encountered yet - Daw actually has quite a good publisher section here. BLongley 14:35, 2 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * Massive. Thanks for the pointer, good to know for future edits! Herzbube 18:39, 3 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * I am still around. Just had a few days sick last week and spent a couple evenings trying to fix a half upgraded remove Linux server. I'll catch up in a few days. --Unapersson 15:52, 2 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * Welcome back, you've been missed! BLongley 16:10, 2 Jul 2007 (CDT)

The Quest for Tanelorn
Just a heads-up that I've added the coverart for your verified pub if you'd like to double-check it. BLongley 10:44, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT) Also An Alien Heat. BLongley 12:09, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)
 * Great, those both look fine. I'm gearing up to start a cover art push soon. Just coding up a local application first to help me. --Unapersson 14:00, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * Oh, interesting! What kind? I've got my manual methods pretty well sorted now, but anything that would, for instance, check all possible Amazon titles on the various sites that already have cover-art or customer images before I go look would help. Or something that would copy my lazy upload to the US site (for quick publishing) back to the UK site where a British publication really belongs, would be good. BLongley 14:36, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)


 * I'd written some SQL to get a list of publications I'd verified from a local copy of the ISFDB. I was then going to use that info to generate a local page linking to my verified pubs. I got caught up in plan B though. So I've written three bookmarklets that I can use when on an edit screen. It will insert a link to the pub in the image field and open a window with the image at the same time so I can double check it has picked up the correct image. I've got it working on my N800 as well, which means I'll be able to verify at my shelves rather than carrying piles of books up and downstairs as I was doing. I'll just need to carry down smaller piles of books to scan. I'm also running Conduit to sync a local directory with my web server when I save some scanned images. At the moment I'm scanning and saving two copies at different sizes, so I may also do an inotify based program to automatically create the smaller image when the larger one is saved. --Unapersson 07:21, 9 Sep 2007 (CDT)


 * Also, The Blood-Red Game. BLongley 15:49, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)
 * And The Winds of Limbo. BLongley 16:26, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)
 * And The Ice Schooner - but I've added some more notes too, please check this one at least. BLongley 16:59, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)
 * And Phoenix in Obsidian. BLongley 17:08, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)

We do seem to overlap a lot: we should each hire a van, take all our books to a neutral playing ground, and try the world's biggest game of "SNAP!" sometime. ;-) BLongley


 * So I wasn't just imagining it then? They look fine but I'll dig out The Ice Schooner. I think I've got all the Sphere editions of that one, they had a different cover with every reprint. --Unapersson 17:21, 8 Jul 2007 (CDT)

The Revenge of the Rose
Could you please double-check whether the sub-title of this pub really is "A Tale of the Albino in the Years of His Wandering". Looking at my 1992 Grafton paperback edition, I suspect that it should be "A Tale of the Albino Prince in the Years of His Wandering". The bit of research I did (worldcat, fantasticfiction, multiverse.org) seems to point in the same direction: Almost all sources that list the sub-title do so with the word "Prince" in it - the only notable exception is locusmag.com. Thank you. Herzbube 15:52, 16 Jul 2007 (CDT)

New Worlds March 1966
You've verified this one but left this other one alone - would you care to compare both, save the useful info, and delete the spare please? BLongley 08:32, 22 Jul 2007 (CDT)
 * This dates from a time when I really struggled to find magazines using the search and probably added a few duplicates. I'd merged them all under the one title a more recently but haven't had the chance to revisit them since. I'll pick that up again as part of looking over the Moorcock page. --Unapersson 16:42, 22 Jul 2007 (CDT)
 * No hurry, I'm a bit tired of New Worlds myself - I just tidied up a few year's worth of Carnell magazines today and thought I'd better finish off the remaining Moorcock era ones. I think I only have ONE as a physical edition. BLongley 17:02, 22 Jul 2007 (CDT)

The War Lord of the Air
Another image check please? Just to prove there IS a Space in "War Lord". BLongley 16:11, 14 Aug 2007 (CDT)

A Cure for Cancer
And does your cheap pub look like mine with the extra silver? ;-) BLongley 16:16, 14 Aug 2007 (CDT)

Against a Dark Background
Is the art on your verified pub right? That looks like the current edition rather than a 1995 one. Note that I didn't put it there, but Amazon may have switched the image on us. :-/ BLongley 16:01, 18 Aug 2007 (CDT)


 * That's definitely wrong. I'll update the image with the recent batch I've been doing. --Unapersson 04:09, 19 Aug 2007 (CDT)


 * Oh, and is it really "pb" or "tp"? I don't think I've ever seen a British edition paperback of his in proper paperback size - that put me off buying his works for years. He's currently lucky in that the "A-B" bookcase can cope with that size for the moment. If he was destined for the "P", "R" or "S" bookcases I wouldn't have bought any of his titles today, they wouldn't fit here. BLongley 16:01, 18 Aug 2007 (CDT)


 * It's a tp. I too have a special shelf for those, Angela Carter, Iain (M.) Banks, Peter Ackroyd, Jonathan Carroll etc. They all seem to come in that slightly bigger / slimmer size.


 * Your cover references above look fine. I can confirm Indoctrinaire, but need to dig the others out before I can confirm those. --Unapersson 04:09, 19 Aug 2007 (CDT)


 * Hi! I uploaded a new scan of the 1995 cover and added the foreign prices in while I was at it. Jcameron 23:58, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Authorship of The Shadow Out of Space
You verified the The Survivor and Others so I hope you might have it handy. That collection entry does not show August Derleth as a co-author. When The Shadow Out of Space was republished in the February 1962 issue of Fantastic it was published under both Lovecraft's and Derleth's names and Moskowitz specifically states that Derleth wrote the story from Lovecraft's notes. Is there anything in the collection to indicate that Lovecraft was the only author? The Lovecraft/Derleth authorship issue is a confused mess.--swfritter 11:55, 5 Sep 2007 (CDT)

Thanks. I think there are two stories and other sources indicate that all the stories are collaborations.--swfritter 09:47, 11 Sep 2007 (CDT)

New Worlds 10
I messed about with your verified New Worlds 10 quite a bit. Cover-art, of course, but also added pagination (I presume this was an early verification?), corrected some typos, and then wandered off into Author Data so I can't quite remember the details. :-/ It might be worth another look if you have it handy. BLongley 17:06, 11 Sep 2007 (CDT)

Lancer edition of "Sword of the Dawn"
Can you verify that the title of this pub includes the initial "The" in the title? According to Denholm's Lancer Checklist, the title is simply Sword of the Dawn. Also he credits Jeff Jones as the cover artist. Thanks. Mhhutchins 17:57, 8 Oct 2007 (CDT)

Verified pub Lumley's The House of Cthulhu
Entry "How Kank Thad Returned to Blur-Esh" is it that or "How Kank Thad Returned to Bhur-Esh"? The second title appears in the June 1977 issue of Fantastic and Locus/Contento also uses the second spelling for the collection.--swfritter 14:51, 16 Oct 2007 (CDT)

Poseidonis
In Poseidonis there is a Editor's Note that is marked as short fiction. Is this right? You might also want to put which story the several notes are about in parens, I almost merged them since they were in the same pub. Dana Carson 01:19, 21 Oct 2007 (CDT)

Dai-San
I was verifying my (van) Lustbaders and noticed that the 1985 printing of his Dai-San has 246 pages according to your verified record. I have the 1983 reprint of the Star edition and it contains 262 pages. Could you please double check the page count when you get a chance? TIA! Ahasuerus 20:18, 2 Nov 2007 (CDT)


 * Finally managed to dig this one out. Yes it is 246 pages, I do have the edition that was reprinted somewhere as well. The reprint is a standard paperback sized edition whereas the first printing was slightly oversized. --Unapersson 08:23, 11 Nov 2007 (CST)


 * I may be somewhat confused, but isn't your verified Star publication a 1985 reprint? If so, it sounds like the first (1981) printing was oversized, my verified 1983 reprint was regular size, and the 1985 reprint was once again oversized. Or am I even more confused than I realize? :-) Ahasuerus 12:58, 11 Nov 2007 (CST)


 * This is confusing, my 1985 reprint is regular size. I'll have to try and dig up that 1981 copy and see how many pages that one has :-) --Unapersson 13:59, 11 Nov 2007 (CST)

The Shub-Niggurath Cycle: Tales of the Black Goat With a Thousand Young
Re: this verified publication, I have changed the values in the story length field from "shortfiction" to "short story"/"novelette" as appropriate. BTW, do you happen to know anything about the Cthulhu Cycle series? We have 3 separate titles that claim that they are volume 10 in the series. I wonder if there are multiple series involved or perhaps undocumented Variant Titles? Ahasuerus 19:13, 6 Dec 2007 (CST)


 * I'll pick these up as a project and try and sort them out. I don't have all ten but can certainly fill in the gaps with a bit of research. The Berglund Disciples of Cthulhu will need to reduced to one #10 (The Second Edition) as the original edition was by a different publisher with slightly different contents. --Unapersson 03:22, 9 Dec 2007 (CST)


 * Sounds great, thanks! :) Ahasuerus 11:16, 9 Dec 2007 (CST)

The Rivals of Frankenstein: A Gallery of Monsters
Have made "The Iron Man" by Otto Binder as Eando Binder in your verifie pub a variant of "Iron Man" from Future #28 based upon Contento. If you want to double check that it is the same story the first line is 'Charley Becker dropped his tools and announced, "I'm going to get oiled."'--swfritter 19:32, 17 Dec 2007 (CST)

New Worlds 6
I fiddled with your verified edition a bit: added reviews, notes, and corrected a couple of author credits. Please check. BLongley 09:14, 20 Dec 2007 (CST)

Does Mr Price not know what a Yeat is?
There's a suspicious looking author in your verified pub - is it really Yates or Yeats? BLongley

Corsairs of the Second Ether
I have a problem with [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Warwick%20Colvin,%20Jr. Corsairs of the Second Ether], which is included in Blood: A Southern Fantasy verified by you. Could you check if it is a story (novelette?) split into 3 parts or tree short stories or something else? It was also published as 3 'instalments' in New Worlds 2. Perhaps it should be added to the contents listing in Blood? Thank you. --Roglo 14:41, 2 Jan 2008 (CST)

Feast of Fear
Can you please check the ISBN on your verified pub - it's showing up on our bad ISBN list but we don't know if it's as printed or a typo. BLongley 04:18, 13 Jan 2008 (CST)


 * Unfortunately, that's what's printed on the spine of the book and there's nothing inside to disagree with it. --Unapersson 14:35, 18 Jan 2008 (CST)

Also Thuvia Maid of Mars - should be 0450022889? BLongley 05:33, 13 Jan 2008 (CST)

Alhireth-Hotep the Prophet
In your verified pub Nyarlathotep Cycle: Tales about the God of a Thousand Forms you listed "Alhireth-Hotep the Prophet" as a Poem. However, the same title appears in The Gods of Pegana, Beyond the Fields We Know, and The Complete Pegana as a work of shortfiction (albeit very short, no more than three paragraphs). Can you double check if the version in Nyarlathotep Cycle is actually different from the version in the Project Gutenberg edition of The Gods of Pegana? -DES Talk 15:31, 12 Feb 2008 (CST)

"How Kank Thad Returned..." by Lumley
In your verified publication, the story 520601 appears. But in the title is given as 81149 (l vs h). Can you double check and make sure that the story was actually published with the "Blur" title? -DES Talk 16:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The Rituals of Infinity
An editor added a cover artists to your verified pub., according to Marc's Daw list it looks correct but could you check. Thanks.Kraang 02:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Dark Terrors 2
I've added (using Amazon's 'Search Inside') to ISFDB, a collection by. It includes story The Comfort of Stranglers; according to both the review in Interzone and the 'Search Inside', this story was first published in 33877 (1996). This title is also confirmed by Ansible Link, which in July 1997 had Nicholas Royle, 'The Comfort of Stranglers', 1996 in Thog's Masterclass.

However, both in Locus index and your verified the title is The Comfort of Strangers without 'l'. Is it a typo in the book or typo in ISFDB or is it a different story? (Amazon reveals quotes on search for 'stranglers': near the beginning Contracts or something. Release forms. Legal nonsense of some kind. and a page or two before the end: Ropes hanging from every landing balustrade, dangling a noose in each darkened hallway. The comfort of stranglers. An open door, a swinging rope.). If the title really is 'The Comfort of Stranglers', the two title records should be merged. Thanks. --Roglo 19:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Leiber's Green Millennium
Please verify the spelling of the title in your verified copy of this title. Like several editors I "added a pub" to the title which was incorrectly spelled as The Green Millenium. I've changed my verified copies but there are several more verified copies that I want the original verifier to check out. Thanks. MHHutchins 20:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The cover at least shows "Millennium", if my psychic coverart-hunting skills are working. My X-Ray vision doesn't let me see through that to the title page though. BLongley 20:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Physical copy arrived today, and it's double-N on title-page too. BLongley 17:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The Vanishing Tower
I've updated your verified to have it say it's the third printing and that's it's printed in the USA. I'm pretty sure yours is a 3rd / USA. Marc Kupper (talk) 08:24, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Stormbringer
I'm a little confused by your verified. You say it's a later printing but have the ISBN of the first printing. I just cloned it to create a record for the 5th printing. Hopefully yours is the 4th. Marc Kupper (talk) 09:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Children of Dune
I have a NEL edition this. . You verified a Mar 78 version. This. . My ISBN is 0-450-03247-5 which gives a bad checksum. The ISBN you used is 0-450-03427-5 and is good. Does your copy possibly reference my copy. I suspect they transposed the 24 in mine and the ISBN should be the same. My possible error is in two places on my copy. Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 20:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * references both of yours: Harry's is supposed to be an "Open Market edition" and Unapersson's is another paperback edition that mine is supposed to be a fourth reprint of, but the ISBN differs. BLongley 12:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Bill. I kept the bad ISBN, but noted what it probably should have been and referenced your edition for the printing sequence and added your cover artist as it is the same. Thanks, again for the Timely rescue. Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 13:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

"Alhireth-Hotep the Prophet"
FYI, I have merged "Alhireth-Hotep the Prophet" in your verified Nyarlathotep Cycle: Tales about the God of a Thousand Forms with another Title and changed it from a Poem to Shortfiction. It's a very short vignette, but it's not really a poem unless we count prose poems :) Ahasuerus 22:11, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The Abominations of Yondo
This. . In checking my copy against your verification, I found the cover image and added that, and added publication data and alternate pricing from the back cover to notes. If you disagree, I will remove. Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 13:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Nine Princes of Amber---Cover/notation
This. . I added cover and notation. Including the LCC# 77-103787 which seems odd. Worldcat says the book published in 1977. I think they are referring to the above. The price just will not match that late. Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 21:36, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Poseidonis
I changed the type of "Lemurienne" from short fiction to poem in this publication which you had verified.--Rtrace 03:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

The Dunwich Horror and Others
I made a few changes to this pub which you had verified. Both the Josi reference that I cited in the notes and Arkham House Books: A Collector's Guide, by Leon Nielsen list the publication date of the 9th printing as 1992. They also both give the copy count as 4,973. If there is a colophon indicating a print run of 2,500, let me know and I'll put that back in with a note to that effect. My copy of this book 6th printing (1984) and AH wasn't doing colophons at that point. Lastly, I added an cover scan based on the fact that you listed Bayless as the cover artist. I know the cover art changes at some point for the AH lovecrafts, but none of my references specify when that happened. IN any case, I believe I got the correct cover.--Rtrace 21:37, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Shadows Over Innsmouth
I submitted a change to this pub that you had verified. You mentioned that it was the second printing. The Science-Fantasy Publishers: A Bibliographic History 1923-1998, by Jack L. Chalker and Mark Owings, Mirage Press, 1998, lists the date of the Fedogan & Bremer reprint as 1996, so I altered the date. I also cloned the pub for the first printing where I added the cover image. If the image is the same, we may want to put it on the second printing as well--Rtrace 02:56, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Both your verified copy and the Locus record give the price as £7.99. I also removed the white border from the cover image and added page numbers based on my copy.

I added credit for the introduction (to Glenn Lord) and the story The Thing on the Roof to this verified pub. Also corrected The Garden Fear to The Garden of Fear and added notes about this. If you ever see this, please check it with the real pub. I believe it is essentially the same as my Zebra edition, with the same mistakes and errors. The only thing I'm not sure of is if and how the introduction is credited. the online Howard bibliography credits it to Glenn Lors, but the credit is not on the cover, as it is with the Zebra.

Robert E. Howard's "Fragment"
Several of your verified pubs list Robert E. Howard's poem "Fragment", however I believe that most of them should actually be a short story with the same title. The story in (which I've been adding begins "A gray sky arched over the dreary waste" whereas the poem titled "Fragment" begins "And so his boyhood wandered into youth" (from ).

"Mors" and "The Funeral Urn" in The Last Oblivion
I submitted merges of "Mors" and "The Funeral Urn", both of which appeared in your verified. The merges change the dates to 1971 and the authorship from just Smith to Smith + Christophe des Laurières. Locus credits des Laurières, with Smith as the translator, and while it provides no date, the same poems appeared in in 1971. --MartyD 10:39, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Those merges were rejected due to insufficient evidence of the credit in the book, so if you should see this, please check. I also made a couple of other small changes to your pub:
 * Added notes about the Locus discrepancies (pub date, cover artist, and three des Laurières credits)
 * Replaced the cover image with a non-LZZZZZZZZZ link
 * Changed the parenthetical on Glossary and Bibliography from "(The Last Incantation)" to "(The Last Oblivion)"
 * Any problems with any of this, let me know. --MartyD 11:06, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I submitted merges of "The Stairs in the Crypt" and also "Riders Beyond the Sunrise", both from your verified, changing the authorship from Lin Carter alone to Carter + Smith / Howard, respectively, and the dates from 1980 to the original pub dates based on this Google Books scan and other secondary sources. --MartyD 11:22, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Likewise "The Scroll of Morloc" (Carter + Smith). --MartyD 10:40, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Nyarlathotep Cycle: Tales about the God of a Thousand Forms
I'm making some changes to your verified pub,. I'm replacing the short-story dated 1920 titled "Nyarlathotep" by Lovecraft. Locus lists this as a poem from 1931 and I believe it is actually a prose poem as are the other instances of the the short story with that title. I also added the cover artist name from the Locus record. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 04:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I also added this image and a note about a discrepancy between the May 1997 date on the record and Locus' date of July 1997 (the Amazon entry where I got the image also says May 1997). --MartyD 11:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Changes to user rights
A few months ago we had a discussion of the best way to handle inactive moderators over on ISFDB talk:Policy. The executive summary of the discussion is that a moderator who hasn't been active for a over a year will have a hard time keeping up with all the policy and software changes that we have been going through. ISFDB:Policy has been updated accordingly and, since you haven't been active since 2008-04-09, I have turned your "moderator" flag off, so when you come back, you won't be able to approve submissions. No need to panic, though :) as we have a list of Moderator Qualifications and you can reclaim the ability to approve submissions once you go through the process. Hope to see you again when you have time for ISFDB! Ahasuerus 04:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back!
I see you're uploading covers now - is this new feature what brought you back? BLongley 09:25, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, cover images don't link that way. Use http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/3/32/BKTG12009.jpg rather than http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Image:BKTG12009.jpg i.e. the URL of the image, not of the page it's on. BLongley 09:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, should have noticed that :-) Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do. --Unapersson 09:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh and getting a new job used more psychic energy than I was expecting! I'd meant to come back a lot sooner. I see you've been making a few technical tweaks. Submitting the image to the wiki did return an error about a missing convert binary. Looks like ImageMagick might not be properly installed on the server. --Unapersson 09:41, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, we're lacking a few options that would make like easier. If you stick to 600 pixels wide or tall at most, you don't get the warning. But the image is still there even if the thumbnail doesn't show right. BLongley 09:44, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I was trying to find some indication of the limits in the help. I'll replace it with a smaller one. --Unapersson 09:48, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

(unindent)Welcome back! Yes, we restarted development a few months ago and quite a few things have changed, e.g. you can now delete Pseudonyms and empty Series, Serials are linked to Novels as variant Titles rather than via lexical match, etc. There is a list of implemented changes over on Development/Recent Patches with links to Bug Reports and Feature Requests on Sourceforge. You may want to review it when you have some free time -- it should make catching up easier. There have been some changes to Rules and Standards as well, but I don't think we have a list. Hm, wonder if we should start one? Ahasuerus 16:47, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

The Day After Judgement
I added a cover and some more notes to. BLongley 21:26, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

The Man Who Fell to Earth
I see Mike rejected this before I could: he's right, we do insist on different printings having separate publications now. I can't recall whether we enforced that as strongly in the past. But even though we now we have multiple Primary Verifications enabled, it would be better for you to clone and verify the first printing that I suspect you have, and I'll stick with which I suspect you haven't. I know, your way does save space but I can't answer questions about the first printing, and unless you have both you can't answer questions about the second printing. I think we've settled on this principle, although it still bemuses magazine editors that are used to having one magazine = one printing. (Point them at "Destinies" and they begin to see the point, but it's not an obvious idea by any means, and when some titles get reprinted two or three times per month space-saving looks wise - but I think we'll address that with software improvements to hide the lowest level of detail, when unwanted.) BLongley 22:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I should have just gone with my original intention, the mention of the 1st printing in the text just threw me off a bit :-) --Unapersson 13:17, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

The Half-Angels
Added some notes to this verified pub to match my copy. Thanks, Willem H. 10:45, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

King Kull

 * I'll get one. I upgrade to Karmic Koala recently and my old scanner suddenly does much better quality scans. I no longer need to blur them before resizing. --Unapersson 20:43, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * A benefit of Ubuntu I'd not previously heard of - must check that out, in my copious free time, of which I have none. I don't know which of my PCs and laptops talk to which gadgets any more, I just leave them attached to whichever machine they worked on. I might even have to dig out my bar-code scanner and save myself from all the ISBN typos I make at times... BLongley 22:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Caviar
[This] and [this]. Have a feeling Sphere reprinted without redoing the copyright page. The # of yours is lower than the number of mine, yet seems the same in every other respect (other than the title of Shadow, Shadow on the Wall, which appears in mine minus quotation marks or ellipsis). The image is of the book I have if that helps. Thoughts? ~Bill, --Bluesman 00:17, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The cover is definitely different on mine. I'll check that story title when I dig it out as well. It would be unusual for that to change. --Unapersson 11:23, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Dorothy K. Haynes' "Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch" collection
Hi, I believe the publication dates for the all stories in this collection should be changed to 1949. The June 1951 F&SF lists "A Story at Bedtime" as copyright 1949 and notes that it is from the collection "Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch" which they state was published by Methuen in 1949. The 1996 publication you entered is obviously a much later printing, and the 1960s and 70s publication dates given for a few other stories are actually the publication dates for later collections those stories were reprinted in. Thanks Jonschaper 22:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be good for those stories we know were in the 1949 publication of Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch but I wouldn't apply it wholesale as there's no guarantee that the contents of that one match the 1996 edition. We need to make sure that the dates against the stories are that of the earliest known publication. They should be corrected as a matter of course once the 1949 edition (or other publications of the stories) make it in. --Unapersson 11:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Dagon and Other Macabre Tales
I've added a cover scan to your verified pub. I also have started the edits to swap out the title "Herbert West: Reanimator" to put it under "Herbert West—Reanimator" which is how the title appears in the book. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 03:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Lastly, for "The Eyrie", I changed the author credit from the listed editors to "The Editor" per this help page and because the editors are not credited on that column. I made identical edits to the same column for and. Please let me know if you disagree with those edits. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 06:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Looking for Jake
Could you take another look at this verified pub? My question is, is it really a trade paperback? Locus1 has it as a mass market paperback. If that's true, it's the same edition as this one (same price), and one of them should be deleted. I have cloned yours for the 2005 Macmillan trade paperback priced at £10.99. Thanks, Willem H. 19:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

It is just a standard paperback, I've fixed it. --Unapersson 23:05, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I added two cover scans to your verified pubs. to The Steel Tsar and to The Jewel in the Skull. Thanks, Willem H. 10:25, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Sojan
I added some more interior art to this verified pub. The map on page 14 (this was reprinted in Elric at the End of Time), and the other illustration by James Cawthorne. Also changed the author of "Klan the Spoiler" from J.R.Taylor to Moorcock (The pseudonym is not mentioned in the book), and added some notes. Thanks, Willem H. 20:18, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Willem, I wouldn't have put in the J.R.Taylor pseudonym, I'm long time Moorcock fan and haven't heard of that one. I've noticed a few changes to pubs I've verified/entered that must have crept in through sideways edits, though I guess that's in the nature of the beast. --Unapersson 13:17, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Geoff Ryman review of M. R. James
The Geoff Ryman review of M.R. James' Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is listed as a review of "Ghost Stories of an Antiquity". However, my edition of the book containing the review has the correct title of James collection. Could you let me know if yours agrees. It's certainly easier to change the title record rather than make a variant (especially if we are dealing with a typo, which is what I suspect). Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 01:06, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I changed the title of this story from Epilogue: Birds of the Moon to Epilogue: The Birds of the Moon.

Savage Pellucidar -Artist attribution
Morning! This. . I have "Amazona" in which this book appears as a small thumbnail with crediting to Chris Achilleos. I contacted Bill Hillman at ERBzine through a Yahoo group and he sent me to the site for this. The book cover is almost at the bottom and immediately after is the cover art itself. They credit to Achilles, which I believe is a simple misspelling, especially as he (Hillman) had no problem directing me. This image, which we have no permission to use at ISFDB is. That image matches mine in "Amazona". So if you concur can we attribute the art to Chris Achilleos? Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 22:11, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds good to me. --Unapersson 15:03, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Morning! This. . I added Bruce Pennington with notation after matching the art in "Ultraterranium" pages 98-9. Sincere apologies for all these matches, but you seem to buy books with noteworthy art. Good taste! I have thought that the American versions would have sold better with better art in this series. Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 14:32, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No problems Harry keep adding them :-) I'm unlikely to add the cover artist unless they're named on the back, not really my area of expertise. My first copy of Shadow of the Torturer had slightly dodgy artwork, but once I saw these other volumes I made sure I replaced it. The US versions could definitely have done with better art. I've got one US hardcover but will probably sell it at some point for that reason. --Unapersson 16:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, I: The Adventure of the Texan’s Honour
You are the primary verifier for Tales from the Texas Woods, which contains this Sherlock Holmes story. It is listed in the ISFDB as "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, I: The Adventure of the Texan's Honour by John M. Watson, M.D.", by Michael Moorcock. Locus1 lists this with the shorter title of the subject here, and as being "by John H. Watson, M.D.". Two questions: (1) Is "John Watson" an "H." or an "M."? Is it actually listed (on the story title page) as by Moorcock, or is it listed under "Watson" as a pseudonym? Thanks, Chavey 07:49, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

A little fed up
My favourite second hand bookshop in Exeter, the Read'n'Return Bookshop, a great source of genre fiction is shutting down at the end of the month. They've got a two-for-one sale on at the moment and still have a large amount of stock. Well worth popping in if you're close enough, I have no idea what's going to happen to all the stock afterwards. --Unapersson 21:56, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Not really that close, but might be worth a visit anyway. (I have a car now and am willing to use it.) Would I get a guided tour if I came down in the next fortnight? BLongley 01:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to be a guide and there's no shortage of bookshops in Exeter. If you really fancy driving all that way. Don't feel like you have to though :-) --Unapersson 23:33, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I feel I majorly missed out when "Fantasy Centre" closed down. And I vaguely remember "Dark They Were And Golden Eyed". And we lost "Daeron's Books" a little while ago - any place that I can still find an armful of second-hand SF I don't have needs to be supported. It doesn't need to be more complete than my own collection, it just needs to be interesting. BLongley 02:02, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It's got quite a collection. Plenty of anthologies as well, both SF/fantasy and horror. If you do decide to pop over I'll make sure I check the day before that it's still open. These things have a tendency to disappear overnight. I'm surprised I actually heard in advance this time, normally I don't find out until it's already shut. Someone did a specialist SF/Fantasy/Horror shop in Exeter a few years ago and that one just disappeared without a trace. --Unapersson 23:27, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

You verified New Worlds 9, which includes "Patagonia's Delicious Filling Station", a collection of 3 short plays by Brian Aldiss. This is listed as an essay, but it really looks like fiction to me. Could you check and see what you think? Thanks, Chavey 17:28, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are three short plays rather than an essay. I've corrected the entry to make this more explicit. --Unapersson 14:50, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am going to give Les Edwards as cover artist per this source and Jim Pitts as interior artist (per title page), if it is allright with you. Come to think of it, I had the OCLC number as well, and a coverscan, but it's on hold at the moment.--Dirk P Broer 17:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Do you have the following price information on the back cover: AUS $10.95, NZ $15.95? Thanks, Patrick -- Herzbube Talk 21:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, You verified this publication as The Gods of Mars. Would you be terribly upset if I were to change it to Gods of Mars, adding a scan to prove my point?--Dirk P Broer 19:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No that's fine, but the other NEL copies may need to be checked as they probably have the same variant. Both the NEL copies were verified about four years ago, so it's perfectly possible there have been some title merges since then that have affected the records. --Unapersson 20:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * And good that I was not sure! It is a Bruce Pennington see here.--Dirk P Broer 21:34, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I added a scan for John Carter of Mars.--Dirk P Broer 20:29, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Red World of Polaris, by Clark Ashton Smith
I've added a cover image, from Amazon, to your verified copy of this book. Also, the posting says that this book was published "2004-00-00"; but Amazon claims it was published July, 2005. Do you know what the source of your date was? I know the copyright on the book is 2004, but if that's the only source of that date it's probably more likely that the Amazon date is correct and they just took a while to get it published. But if you had some other source for the date (an actual "published" date in the book, or a Locus listing), then it could be that Amazon is wrong. Chavey 11:11, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There's an online Borders newletter from July 2004 that mentions the limited editions being almost sold out, the copyright page mentions "This edition copyright 2004". So I'd stick with the 2004 date unless there's something more concrete. I got my copy straight from Nightshade Books, they may just not have supplied it to Amazon on release. --Unapersson 20:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Going back to some old conversations, I decided your comment on the publication date was useful enough that I added it to the notes for that book. Chavey 17:45, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Midnight Sun, by Karl Edward Wagner

Hyperion
Hi. Do you think your Hyperion submission may be a duplicate of ? The Locus1 listings are here. --MartyD 01:20, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I did consider that but mine is definitely a UK edition, it doesn't mention Headline Overseas anywhere. --Unapersson 07:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. Just fighting the duplicate entry battle....  I approved the submission.  --MartyD 10:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

King Penguins
Hi, You verified as being published by Penguin Books. On the book the logo "King Penguin" is printed, would you be willing to enter that as Publisher Series name?--Dirk P Broer 12:31, 30 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't have a problem doing that, I'll pick it up in a bit --Unapersson 19:05, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Yet more King Penguins
Hi, You verified as being published by King Penguin. Would you, for the sake of consistency, be willing to change the publisher to either "Penguin" or "Penguin Books" and enter "King Penguin" as Publishers Series name?--Dirk P Broer 12:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The same request for and .--Dirk P Broer 12:41, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Changes to Pavane
User:Dirk P Broer has added a publication month to your verified. --MartyD 11:12, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I have a further submission on hold that would change the format from pb / paperback to tp / trade paperback. Would you confirm whether that's appropriate?  Thanks,  --MartyD 11:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * And while you're checking that, could you please do the same for ? I'll bet that it is a trade paperback as well (just as all other King Penguins).--Dirk P Broer 11:36, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Having not heard a response, I let the format change through on . Please let us know if that is not correct.  --MartyD 10:33, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I can only drop in every now and then anyway. --Unapersson 08:10, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Weird Tales #4
I altered the Frank Belknap Long story to remove the Jr. from his name in Weird Tales #4. I also added the Bok masthead and a note about the issue number. Thanks.--Ron ~ RtraceTalk 14:53, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

The Guns of Avalon
I added a cover scan to this verified pub. --Willem H. 19:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Hello. I have two questions about the Penguin Classics edition verified by you. If you can check, it would be great; if not, that's fine.

I want to add the new Penguin Classics edition which has as an Appendix the original introduction by Peter Ackroyd written for the series. It is copyrighted for 1985, but am not sure when it was first published. Does your edition contain such an introduction and, if so, do you know when it first appeared together with the novel in the Penguin Classics series?

Regards, Waldstein 18:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

First Light
Added an image to [this] --~ Bill, Bluesman 18:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

New Worlds 1 by David Garnett
I added a cover image and some content to your verified pub. I also would like to change its title to New Worlds 1, because it says so on the title page. (The shorter version of New Worlds appears only on cover and spine.) Stonecreek 11:09, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Alison Prince's "The Loony/Looney"
You verified "Uncanny Banquet". Time permitting, will you please verify the spelling of Alison Prince's story? All other guides spell it "Loony", not "Looney". I will doublecheck the "The Young Oxford Book of Nasty Endings" later this evening. Zxcvbnm 21:28, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Out of Time's Abyss
I've submitted a cover scan to your verified entry for Out of Time's Abyss and also added Lin Carter's Foreword at page 5 and entered the main story as running from page 7. Nimravus 23:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

The Land That Time Forgot
Again, submitted a cover scan to The Land That Time Forgot and added Lin Carter's Foreword. Nimravus 23:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Tanar of Pellucidar
I've added a better cover image to Tanar of Pellucidar and added the other prices from the back cover. Nimravus 00:03, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

At the Earth's Core
I've added a cover image to At the Earth's Core, and the other prices from the back cover. Nimravus 23:17, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Pellucidar
Same for Pellucidar Nimravus 23:38, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Robert E. Howard's Kull
I have submitted the following changes to your verified : 1) added the subtitle to the introduction per the introduction's title page; 2) filled in the new publication series fields; and 3) added additional notes to the notes field. Thanks. --JLaTondre 14:05, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

New Worlds 4
Hello! Do you know how the cover artist got credited in this pub? I verified it secondary to you but can't find any credit for him in the book, and it seems like the only art by him. Perhaps there is a reliable source? Stonecreek 15:14, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, ashes on my head! It was there, but I must've had a white spot (by the way: that's where it is: on the white spot on the backcover). While veryfying 'New Worlds 3' I found the credit for that one, and then the one for NW 4. I promise to be more efficient next time. Stonecreek 17:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Burroughs' Nova Express
Hello! I'd think I own the same edition as you of this book, but mine has a cover price of 85p (stated on the back cover). At least the copyright page says at the top: 'Published by Granada Publishing Limited in Panther Books 1968 (over) Reprinted 1969, 1972, 1978', which points in favour of a publication in 1978. In addition it has 'Panther Granada' on the spine and 'Panther Granada Publishing' on the title page. If you have the time, could you take a look if your copy has the same data? Stonecreek 19:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

New Worlds [1997]
I changed the title of the Introduction to 'Introduction: The New World's New Worlds' in New Worlds. (I also added the essay on 'The Authors' and the cover image - and again I can't find the credit for the cover, guess it's a kind of blindness). Stonecreek 12:05, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Heir of Darkness
I'm standardizing the publisher information for various books pfrom "New Infinities", an imprint of Ace SF. Our standard for such imprints is "Imprint / Publisher", so I've changed the publisher listing for your verified book from "New Infinities Productions Inc" to "New Infinities / Ace".

The Final Programme
Scanned in a new image and expanded the notes for [this] --~ Bill, Bluesman 15:51, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Inversions
Hi! In your verified, you give the number of pages as 393. In my copy the last numbered page is 393, but an epilogue follows with unnumbered pages, which brings the total page count up to 405. The entry for the pb format book counts these; shouldn't the tp ones do so as well? Cheers. Jcameron 16:14, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes they should, do you want to just update it? --Unapersson 19:31, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, after a bit of confusion about how page counts are calculated, we've got all the Orbit pb and tp editions to agree at 393+[12]. Jcameron 02:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Moorcock's Fabulous Harbors
Can you confirm the ISBN and date in this record? We have another verified record for this Avon first edition with a different ISBN. Thanks. Mhhutchins 22:01, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

The Mezentian Gate
I've edited some info on your verified entry for. I've added a clearer cover scan, amended the page count to include the 5 pages of genealogical tables and map at the end of the book (but I've left a note for the mod about that as they are not numbered, so not sure if they should be counted); I've added the initial pages pages with italic numbers to the page count box; I've added the Prefatory Note and Introductory Letter as titles; I've added the name of the interior artist; I've added the other prices from the back cover. Nimravus 21:58, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

When Worlds Collide
Hi, I just did an OCLC verification for and read in the notes that you had the information about the cover artist from The Whole Science Fiction Data Base #5. Unfortunateley however the artist field is empty. --Dirk P Broer 22:25, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

The Early Fears
I swapped out the title record for the story "The Dream Makers" in Bloch's The Early Fears replacing it with the variant title "The Dream-Makers" as it appears in the collection. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 11:45, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

The Night Land
I've submitted a cover scan and added some other listed prices to your verified edition of The Night Land Nimravus 00:14, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Volume 2
I added a publication series and a link to the cover image to Derleth's Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Volume 2. I also wanted to ask you to check is this other publication is actually the same as yours and one of them should be deleted. I'm leaving this same note on the other verifier's talk page. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 13:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

The Trail of Cthulhu
I added a publication series and a link to Derleth's The Trail of Cthulhu. I also wanted to ask if you think we should swap out the stories for their variants that include the subtitles. I've also got the hardcover edition which had the stories without subtitle. After going back and forth I decided to change them there, but wanted to give the other verifiers a chance to weigh in before changing the paperback. I'm leaving this same note on the other verifier's talk page. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 03:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

The Sleeping Sorceress
Scanned an image and expanded the notes for [this]. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 23:21, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Smith's Other Dimensions
I added some notes to Smith's Other Dimensions. I also added the roman numbered page count and corrected the page of one story. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 19:50, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

A Rendezvous in Averoigne
I added some notes to Smith's A Rendezvous in Averoigne. I also added the note on the texts, the subtitle and the month of publication. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 21:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
