Out of My Mind / Web of Everywhere
I see you have information on a standalone 1980 edition of Out of My Mind. If so, can you please enter that as a separate publication, rather than adjust the joint edition? I've adjusted that to explain it a bit better - it looks like like it is two other paperback editions bound together as each part has a separate ISBN, but I have no further information on. By the way, the pagination is correct there - I just had to bend the standards a little bit to cover the fact that the numbering restarts for the second part. BLongley 19:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Limitations for uploaded files
Thanks for adding. With a few exceptions (such as wraparound cover art), the ISFDB policy is to limit the size of uploaded files to 150K and dimensions to no more than 600 pixels on the longest side. Please adjust your scanner's settings to these limits. Are you familiar with how to link the image to the corresponding record in the database? Mhhutchins 02:06, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Three Trips in Time and Space
I took the liberty to modify your submission which would have had the effect of creating a new publisher "Hawthorn Books, Inc." and a new artist with the strange name of "Ivan Seresin as stated on back jacket leaf". It'd be better to add the source of the artist in the notes and keep the publisher as it is with the Inc. implicit, see there. Thanks. Hauck 15:34, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

The Year's Best Fantasy: First Annual Collection
I've just approved your submission but it seems that three stories doesn't have page numbers, can you have a look at it ? BTW, with all the Brunner data, your talk page is a bit too "heavy" (slow to load and sluggish to write on). Hauck 15:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Concerning Hauck's comment about the Brunner data on your talk page: you can create a new page just for it and nested within your user pages. Copy the data, then go to http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Crofton99/Brunner. You'll get a message that the page doesn't exist, but you have the option to create one. Click on "Edit this page", a window will open, and you can paste the Brunner data into the window, thus creating a separate page. Then you can link to it from your user page.  Let me know if you need some assistance in doing this, or I will gladly do it for you. Mhhutchins 16:00, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Eclipse SFBC edition
Please add the gutter code for your printing to the notes, and by using the [Gutter Codes] chart, your printing is from January 1977. Just use the same formula that's in the notes now for the first two printings. Thus "Known reprint code: "E51" [verified] (Dec. '74)" would become "Known reprint codes: "E51" [verified] (Dec. '74); "H02" (Jan.'77)" Up to you if you want to add [verified]. Cheers! --~ Bill, Bluesman 00:05, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
