About Time
Thanks for the submission of this new publication. The only change I had to make was the link to the cover. We have to have explicit permission to link to images held on other sites, so I changed the link to the image on Amazon.com. Thanks.

Beyond the Great South Wall: The Secret of the Antarctic
Just an FYI that I have approved the addition of the 2001 reprint of Savile's Beyond the Great South Wall: The Secret of the Antarctic, but then I had to change the cover scan to the version provided by Amazon since we don't have Coachwhip Publications' permission to link to their images. Thanks! Ahasuerus 23:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Flora Curiosa
I approved your submission. Then I edited the publication to change the cover art URL, as we do not have permission from Coachwhip Publications to link to their site. See ISFDB:Image linking permissions fro more details on image sites that we may and may not use. I downloaded a copy of the picture from the Coachwhip site, and uploaded it to the ISFDB as Image:FLRCRSCRPT2008.jpg‎.

Also, I merged the new title records for the various stories in the anthology with existing records for the same stories, when there were such records.

The final result is, please take a look at it and see that all is correct. If you can verify this publication, please do so.

Thank you for your contributions. -DES Talk 16:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I approved your submission, then edited it to change it from an anthology to an omnibus. In general where a publication reprints multiple works each of which had previously been separately published in book form, we prefer to call it an omnibus. The dividing line is a bit fuzzy, but this is a pretty clear case.

I also downloaded a copy of the cover image, and uploaded it to the ISFDB, for the same reasons as mentioned above. I also merged the newly created title records for the individual novels with existing records in the ISFDB, in one case as a variant title.

Thank you for your contributions. -DES Talk 16:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that's great -- I had looked at the categories, but it sounded like they were discouraging omnibuses. Also, appreciate the other mentions previous about cover images; I only just browsed to find this page, so wasn't aware these messages were here. Coachwhip Publications is my own venture, I'll have to figure out how to upload cover images directly (?) for future titles. Amazon's OK, but they get image feeds that are sometimes inaccurate color-wise. Pennsnakes 20:39, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * See Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki for image uploading -- it is not hard. See Help:How to for lots of other task-centered help.
 * Our convention on this wiki is to indent successive responses in a given thread. Indentation is accomplished by putting one or more colons at the start of a paragraph (one for each indent level). For more on wiki editing and conventions, see Help:Editing and the various pages in Category:Wiki Help.
 * Again thanks, and i am very glad you found this page. -DES Talk 20:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, since Coachwhip Publications is your own venture, you may, if you choose, grant the ISFDB permission to deep-link directly to its images. I Would advise that you read ISFDB:Image linking permissions before deciding.

The Fantastic Imagination of George MacDonald, Volume II
I approved. I then merged the various duplicate titles this created, Do have a look at Help: How to merge publications for future reference. Thanks for your contributions. -DES Talk 23:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * And I have done the same with Volume I. Ahasuerus 01:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * And now Volume III as well. Ahasuerus 02:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

The Spiders
The Spiders, is it "Hans" or "Hanns"? The first anthology you added was missing some page numbers. Thanks for editing!Kraang 03:11, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

John Silence: The Complete Adventures
I saw you just added. Thank you. Please don't forget to check for duplicate shortfiction titles this may have created, and to merge them as needed. See Help: How to merge titles for more detail. Again, thanks. -DES Talk 13:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

author credit on "The Depths of Kyamo" in Anthropologica Incognita
Hi. I just approved your submission of, but I have a question for you. Does the author credit of The Depths of Kyamo really use "the Elder", or does it by any chance use "aîné"? I noticed we have the latter name in the database already but haven't yet recorded any using the English translation of it, so I figured I'd double-check with you. Thanks! --MartyD 21:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
