Variant Title indicator
This review shows the title as “The Many Worlds of Poul Anderson [vt The Book of Poul Anderson].” I hit (edit) to see how the [vt] thing was done and learned it's “The Many Worlds of Poul Anderson^The Book of Poul Anderson.” Should this be documented as a standard ISFDB practice? It's certainly more convenient than adding a variant title record. Marc Kupper 23:19, 6 Dec 2006 (CST)
