Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

The Fourth World

Hello, I've approved your submission but had to make some changes to conform to our standards:

• split synopsis.
• set the "novelization" flag to "No" as your book does not seem the be the adaptation of a TV series or a film.
• deleted the number of pages (meaningless for an ebook).
• added currency, I supposed USD, rememeber that we're an international outfit so not everyone here uses $.
• added cover artist and uploaded a scan.

The result is here. Thanks for contributing. Hauck 13:26, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

Please note -- the original cover artist is Bradley Wind. The revised cover is one that I did... :)

Your recent submission for new publications ...

... alas, are being put on hold, as there are still some items: 1) two of them have ISBNs that lead to (trade) paperbacks with amazon (not ebooks as stated), 2) page count for ebooks is meaningless (they have no pages, an estimated print page count can be put into the notes), and 3) there is no currency symbol added to the prices. Thanks, Stonecreek 00:34, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

As I just found out, item 1) also holds for "The Fourth World", could you please explain? Stonecreek 06:14, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

Hello Christian, in fact "9780615327143" entered in amazon US leads you to the ebook (or so it does on my computer). There is also the problem of the artist that here is clearly given as Bradley Wind but that the author seem to want to be credited to him. Hauck 06:20, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

Well, that:

Publisher: Destiny Press (September 30, 2009)

Language: English

ISBN-10: 0615327141

ISBN-13: 978-0615327143

Product Dimensions: 5.5 x 0.7 x 8.5 inches

Shipping Weight: 14.1 ounce

is what I get at amazon.com. The displayed cover art is in fact credited to Bradley Wind, but it is different from the one we have.

And that:

Publisher: Destiny Press; 1 edition (October 1, 2009)

Publication Date: October 1, 2009

Sold by: Amazon Digital Services LLC

Language: English

ASIN: B002X793OC

is displayed with the link you supplied, Hervé (ebook with no ISBN). Christian Stonecreek 15:31, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

Yes, I've seen that there are two formats (and two different covers). The fact is that when entering the ISBN amazon leads you to the ebook (I've even tried this in "in private" mode) and that the cover with the indian is by Bradley Wind. As our contributor is not very clear in his/her answers or his/her contributions (he/she submitted this precise ISBN/format couple), I've deleted the ISBN as all other data seems to match. Hauck 03:28, 21 March 2018 (EDT)

Thanks, Hervé! I think, it'll be best to do the same with the pending submissions. I'll make the price statements into US Dollars. Stonecreek 04:06, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
