Author:Walter M. Miller, Jr.

This is the Walter M. Miller, Jr. bibliography project. The project is divided into Titles, Series, Awards, Short Fiction, Pseudonyms and Miscellaneous.

Titles
For book length works, the following are outstanding tasks.
 * Check the list of titles against Sources of Bibliographic Information and make sure all are present.
 * Identify any duplicates and merge any as appropriate.
 * Identify all variant titles and ensure all are correctly listed. Verify that the correct title is the parent.
 * Check that each title shows the correct first edition; if not, enter it from a bibliographic source if available.
 * Look for magazine serializations of the original works. If any are missing, entering the magazine is an outstanding task.
 * For a given title
 * Enter or verify any publications that you have access to; verify any that are entered.
 * Check any publication records against bibliographies
 * Review other sources of data such as booksellers and enter additional publication data from those; do not set the "verified" flag on these.

For publications note any verification done, either using the verification flags or on the publication specific wiki pages (linked from the publication page on the ISFDB) for other sources. For the titles, make a subsection below for each title, and a note in that subsection showing what verification you have done, any changes you have made, and any questions that remain for that title.

A Canticle for Leibowitz
title link The Bantam 1961 edition says:

Lippincott edition published October 1959 2nd printing March 1960 3rd printing April 1960

Catholic Digest edition published September 1960

If the October 1959 date holds up, this contradicts Currey, Nicholls, and the 1961 Worldcon Hugo committee, which awarded the book a Hugo for which it was eligible if it was published in 1960.

Series
Check that the correct series are listed, that everything is in the correct series, and that any sequence information is correct.

Awards
Outstanding tasks are listed. For each one, if a check has been made, make a note below about what you checked and what source you used.
 * Verify each listed award is true -- that is, that the title did win or was nominated for this award
 * Review the awards and verify that each award to Le Guin is in fact listed. List each award checked, along with the years checked, below.

Short Fiction
The task list for short fiction is almost the same as for longer titles:

The following are outstanding tasks.
 * Check the list of titles against bibliographic sources and make sure all are present.
 * Identify any duplicates and merge any as appropriate.
 * Identify all variant titles and ensure all are correctly listed. Verify that the correct title is the parent.
 * Check that each title shows the correct first appearance in a publication; if not, enter it from a bibliographic source if available.
 * For a given title
 * Enter or verify any publications that you have access to; verify as correct any that are entered, and set the "correct" flag.
 * Check any publication records against bibliographies
 * Review other sources of data such as booksellers and enter additional publication data from those; do not set the "correct" flag on these.

Make a subsection below for each title, and a note in that subsection showing what verification you have done, any changes you have made, and any questions that remain for that title.

Pseudonyms
Le Guin wrote as "Ursula Le Guin" and "U.K. Le Guin". For each pseudonym it needs to be verified that the ISFDB correctly lists exactly those appearances under those pseudonyms.

Miscellaneous
This section lists verifications performed prior to the organization of this project page, or any verifications that don't fit into a section above.
