  • Miscellaneous updates Marc Kupper 00:17, 12 Dec 2006 (CST)
    • Added a First Printing date column and also did an internal consistency check where I computed the expected "Published" date value and compared it to what has been recorded. About ten rows had minor issues such as "n.d." when the printing date could be stated or a printing date when "n.d." was the correct choice.
    • Merged the series names from my old DAW list. About 150 titles picked up series names. The plan here is to keep comparing/merging until no more data can be mined from the old list which has about 5500 rows of publications vs. nearly 2200 rows in the main DAW list.
    • Fixed up all of the author names so that they link to ISFDB plus sorted the list by author and started linking up titles. I got mid-way through the letter “C” for now. It's moderately slow going as ISFDB was missing a number of titles that each needed research and then adding to ISFDB. Marc Kupper 00:17, 12 Dec 2006 (CST)

  • Per query from Ahasuerus about a book priced at $233.58 the following was converted from a book to a display set listing.
  • #1286, 0-7564-0230-1 at $233.58 - Alta by Mercedes Lackey
  • #None, 0-7564-0230-1 at $233.58 - Author: Lackey (Tie-In 18-copy mixed hard/soft display) by Mercedes Lackey
  • #1286, 0-7564-0257-3 at $7.99 - Alta by Mercedes Lackey – Line added for reprint at a $7.99.
  • Ahasuerus’ question about an odd price in the DAW list prompted me to grab the price column and to do a sort. DAW has their first $26.95 hardcover coming up and I spotted one other display set. It was in the DAW list as
  • #1256, 0-7564-0150-X at $125.82 - Long Hot Summoning by Tanya Huff
After looking into it the record has been removed from the DAW list and it’s now classified as a display set. My heuristics had gotten confused because Alibris had initially listed this as a book and also that the display-set list already had an item for this book. At least in this case no one had grabbed the ISBN and posted seller listings all over the planet for it. The display sets are:
  • #1256, 0-7564-0150-X at $125.82 - Long Hot Summoning (18-copy floor display) by Tanya Huff
  • #1256, 0-7564-0210-7 at $125.82 - Long Hot Summoning (18-copy mixed floor display) by Tanya Huff

Verifications

Marc, because of the huge size of the table, I think what I'd prefer to do is post here any information I have about verifying physical copies, and let you incorporate that as you do your periodic updates. Does that work?

Here's one verification:

154 UE1776 0-87997-776-0 n.d. 6th $3.50 pb The Birthgrave The Birthgrave Trilogy #1 Tanith Lee

The series information is not on the book. Everything else is as described.

-- Mike Christie 08:25, 2 Dec 2006 (CST)

Thank you Mike – I agree the table is huge and not practical for individual edits and so I've been batching up my updates. I’ve been mulling over ways to deal with this. I have a data-consistency verification pass coming up soon that will be adding many rows to deal with publications at new prices and at that point the table should be stable enough that I can break it into sections for each 100 Logo numbers much like how Steven Silver breaks up his list but in the long run I’d want to drive this off the ISFDB database.
I have a couple of questions about your copy of “The Birthgrave.”
  • Is the Logo # stated as “154?” The reason I ask is that the 1st through 3rd printing used Logo #154, and then I believe DAW decided to switch Logo #s as they did a new cover as the 4th and 5th printing are Logo # 463. Did DAW switch back to #156 for the 6th printing or am I mistaken and DAW did run two printing tracks (each with their own numbers) for the two logo #s?
The logo on the front says UE1776 and does not quote the 154 number. I can see no trace of the 154 (or 463) anywhere, inside or outside.
  • Is the copyright year 1975?
Yes; "First printing, June 1975", followed by "6 7 8 9" on the line below.
  • Is the cover artist George Barr or Ken W. Kelly? (I believe Logo 154 was Barr and 463 was Kelly).
It is credited to Ken W. Kelly internally. I see no signature on the artwork. The picture is of a mostly naked woman standing facing us, on the back of a chariot pulled by two horses, riding away from us. The woman is brandishing a bow; a building is visible behind her and to the right of the picture.
  • Is the country (at the bottom of the copyright page) U.S.A.?
"Printed in U.S.A."
  • What’s the page # for the last numbered page? --Marc Kupper 17:10, 2 Dec 2006 (CST)
408; this is the last actual page in the book, as well; there are no advertisements or blank pages. Mike Christie 17:32, 2 Dec 2006 (CST)
Thank you Mike. I’ll need to think of a way to make the missing Logo # aspect clearer as Don Erikson also reported books as having Logo #s when they were editions that I did not think had them. A pretty common DAW practice for later printings was to move the Order # into the yellow logo box in the spot where the Logo # normally goes and as far as I know, the Logo # can't be determined from the book itself. I’m assuming there was a technical reason for doing this such as it was easy to erase lettering from the cover artwork and hard to put new lettering on. As DAW wanted the Order # on the cover they dropped the Logo #.
One question I forgot to ask – I assume yours is one of the old style publications with the yellow spine? It looks like UE1776 was published around Oct or Nov 1982 and DAW did not switch to the new style until mid-1984.
Yes, it's a yellow spine, in the old style. Mike Christie 06:42, 3 Dec 2006 (CST)

Here are a couple more. I've pasted in the line from the main table and am answering the additional questions you ask above, where relevant, for each one. Is that the best way to go? Let me know if you don't need the detailed info.

Electric Forest

349 UE1482 0-87997-482-6 1979-08 $1.75 pb Electric Forest Tanith Lee

  • Logo number on the cover; order number on the cover but top left, not in the yellow box top right.
  • Cover artist is Don Maitz; uncredited but the picture is signed, as is the frontispiece picture.
  • "Printed in U.S.A."
  • Last page number is 159
  • Yellow spine
Thank you Mike.
  • Is the ISBN on the Spine?
Yes.
  • What’s the copyright date?
1979.
  • Do you have a 1st printing (123456789)?
Yes; "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
  • Maybe I should do a simple web-form for verification that gets linked to from the main list. You’d click in the far right hand column and it will take you to a page that has fields for everything. Marc Kupper 22:31, 3 Dec 2006 (CST)
Up to you; I'm happy doing it this way. Once the list of questions is set it's easy to cut and paste the last answers and edit them.

Red As Blood

513 UE1790 0-87997-790-6 1983-01 $2.50 pb Red As Blood Tanith Lee

What I have is a third printing, which does not appear to be on your list.

  • Logo number is on the cover; order number on the cover also, top centre, not in the yellow box.
  • Title on the front, in full, is "Red As Blood or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer"; the title page is the same. In both cases the layout makes it clear that "Red as Blood" is the title and the rest is a subtitle
  • Price and ISBN both match
  • "First printing, January 1983", followed by "3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
  • "Printed in U.S.A."
  • Last page number is 208
  • Yellow spine
  • Cover artist Michael Whelan; interior art Tanith Lee.
Thank you Mike. I've added this to the list though havn't pushed an update out to ISFDB yet. Is the ISBN on the spine? This also triggered an interesting hunt. You had listed the cover artist as Michael Whelan but I had Victoria Poyser which lead to the hunt. Amazon has a decent image of what you have and when I saw the picture I went “oh!” because take a look at Hags, Sirens, and Other Bad Girls of Fantasy which is also by DAW. The Victoria Poyser cover is on a book club hardcover meaning I’ll add a new row to the table for this. Oddly, it appears from the AbeBook seller comments that this hc has the same ISBN as the pb publication. Marc Kupper 22:00, 3 Dec 2006 (CST)
Yes, the ISBN is on the spine. Interesting about the cover re-use. I'd guess the ABE seller is wrong, unless that's a DAW book club? Mike Christie
DAW did make book club editions but don't know if they sold them directly or though a BOMC. I got confused by the AbeBook Seller listings that as several sellers of the hardcover did not state they were selling book club editions though some did. I'm guessing the sellers either did not recognize them as BCE/BOMC or did not know you are supposed to include that in the listing. One seller stated “Book Club Edition, 1st and Only hard cover Edition” but I don't know if that "1st and only" is something from the book or something the seller figured out. The cover images are very "book club" in their styling (no DAW logo, no price or other identification, etc.) and I would have to guess all of the hardcovers are book club editions. At any rate - I'm adding the Book Club editions to the DAW list as I run across them. Marc Kupper 03:04, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

Here are two more.

Sung in Shadow

530 UE1824 0-87997-824-4 1983-05 $3.50 pb Sung in Shadow Tanith Lee

Everything matches as you have it.

  • Logo number is in the box on the cover; order number is next to the box.
  • "First Printing, May 1983"
  • "Printed in U.S.A."
  • Last page number is 349
  • Yellow spine; ISBN is on the spine
  • Cover artist Victoria Poyser; no interior art.

--Mike Christie 22:34, 3 Dec 2006 (CST)

Adding the extra questions from above: it's a first printing, apparently, but gives no "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9". Copyright date is 1983.
Thank you Mike - the lack of a printing # line is pretty unusual. A number of AbeBook sellers state "1st printing" but I don't know if they guessed that or if DAW created versions with 123456789. One seller has a 2nd printing. Marc Kupper 03:18, 4 Dec 2006 (CST)

Drinking Sapphire Wine

226 UY1277 0-87997-277-7 1977-01 $1.25 pb Drinking Sapphire Wine Tanith Lee
