SF: The Best of the Best, ed. by Judith Merril

I'm doing a secondary verification of this book, verified by you. There appear to be three errors in the ways the authors of stories are listed in our publication record. Casey Agonistes is listed "as by R. M. McKenna", but the story title page lists the author as "Richard McKenna" (the ToC lists him as "Richard M. McKenna"). Nobody Bothers Gus is listed "as by Paul Janvier", an alias of Algis Budrys, but both the title page and the ToC list it as by Algis Budrys. And Hickory, Dickory, Kerouac is listed "as by Martin Scott", an alias of Richard Gehman, but is also actually listed as by Richard Gehman. I am changing the way these three entries are listed to agree with the three title pages. Chavey 04:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Shambleau and Others, by C. L. Moore

After this discussion I added the Asimov essay after the poem "The Thunder-Thieves" to this verified pub under the title "The Thunder-Thieves (afterword)". Hope you can agree. Thanks, --Willem H. 14:10, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Damnation Alley

I added cover artist and notes to this verified pub. --Willem H. 19:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

The Valley of Horses

I accepted the submission adding this new record, but there are too many numbers in the ISBN, and the page count doesn't match any secondary sources, all of whom give the ISBN as 0-517-54489-X and the page count as 502. I know it's unlikely that you'll respond here, but if I've not heard anything in the next day or so (you can email me), I'll have to delete the record. Sorry. Mhhutchins 22:46, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Judith Merril's 11th "Year's Best SF"

The contents for your verified publication includes a short story listed as "Singular Case of Extreme Electrolyte Balance Associated with Folie a Deux". My edition of this book indicates that the correct title is "A Singular ...", so I have submitted a change to that effect. As primary verifier, I invite you to check that this is consistent with your copy. Chavey 05:56, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Chavey is right, and Contento1 is probably wrong, so I changed the title record and left a note for the future verifyer of the Delacorte edition. Thanks, --Willem H. 14:59, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

1824: The Arkansas War - Interior Art Credit

I updated your verified pub 1824: The Arkansas War to include an interior art credit for the maps. Thanks Kevin 02:20, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

August Derleth - (Tales From) Not Long for this World

I updated your verified pub Not Long for this World with a few corrections to match my copy in hand. Somehow, the wrong variant of The Drifting Snow was included.. it was pointing at the pseudonym variant, instead of the canonical parent (Since this colection is by August Derleth instead of Stephen Grendon I corrected this error). I also added a new Variant of The God-Box and created The Gold-Box, along with some explanatory notes. All of this matches my copy in hand. Please let me know if either of these changes needs further discussion. Thanks Kevin 23:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

"A Romance of the Equator", Brian Aldiss

I added a cover image to your verified publication. Chavey 19:48, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
