annaloog ● 15th Jun 2024		Book Philip K. Dick - Sämtliche 118 SF-Geschichten 5 Vols. (2014)	The German titles seem to correspond with the UK titles as published by Gollancz.
annaloog ● 10th Jun 2024		Book George MacDonald - The Princess And The Goblin (1967)	23skidoo - check your copy's last page of text to see if there is a date ... ... like my copy of Airmont SF4.
annaloog ● 23rd May 2024		Book James Blish - Star Trek (1967)	23skidoo, my copy is the 15th printing. One of these days I'll add the image scan which shows the printing history up to that edition.
annaloog ● 23rd May 2024		Book Terry Pratchett - The City Watch Trilogy (1999)	Thanks, David, for the clarification.
annaloog ● 21st May 2024		Book Terry Pratchett - The City Watch Trilogy (1999)	Is the definite article included in the title on the title page? I don't see it on the dust jacket.
annaloog ● 12th May 2024		Book John Cleland - Memoirs Of Fanny Hill	Signet no. W7867 puts this reprint no earlier than late 1977, however, later printings may have been issued with the same no.
annaloog ● 12th May 2024		Book David L. Harrison - The Boy With A Drum	1980s-'90s printing, judging from the presence of the bar code.
annaloog ● 2nd May 2024		Book Dan Jones - Powers And Thrones (2022)	Only the leftmost 13 digits are relevant for 45worlds purposes. If the ISBN-13 and (13-digit) bar code number are identical they will show on the page as a combined entry.
annaloog ● 16th Apr 2024		Book Robert K. Ressler - Whoever Fights Monsters (1993)	Images # 3541032, 3541042, 3541050 appear to be from a later printing, and should be added (or moved) to a separate entry.
annaloog ● 2nd Apr 2024		Book Eric Arthur Blair - The English People (1947)	Is this Eric Blair as George Orwell? mod edit: author name corrected
annaloog ● 27th Mar 2024		Book H. Montgomery Hyde - Room 3603 (1964)	H'mmm . . . The New York Times considered this non-fiction "a thriller".
annaloog ● 19th Mar 2024		Book Keith Richards - Life (2010)	For now, it appears that CD audio books are considered as CD albums, as with this example (one of several).
annaloog ● 12th Mar 2024		Book John W. Campbell Jr. - Analog 1 (1963)	On one copy I've seen (online), the dust jacket shows "Analog 1", and the title page shows "Analog I", so either apparently is correct.
annaloog ● 18th Feb 2024		Book Hubert Phillips - The Pan Book Of Card Games (1969)	I'd think that the SBN (330 20175 1) would suffice for the cat. no. for this edition. The 'M' number, if there ever was one, is for an earlier edition.
annaloog ● 17th Feb 2024		Book James Blish - Star Trek (1967)	The 6th printing is dated Sep 1967, date added.
annaloog ● 17th Feb 2024		Book Hubert Phillips - The Pan Book Of Card Games (1969)	Quote: ... this book just has an M. I don't know if that specifies anything related to .... Just a guess, given the 5 shilling cover price, possibly a title in the Pan Major series, like this example.
annaloog ● 14th Feb 2024		Book Kingsley Amis - Colonel Sun (1968)	JMO, Amis/Markham's 007 novel is more satisfying (truer to Fleming's characterization) than any that John Gardner churned out. I have a couple copies of the Bantam edition, but I think they are later than the one I saw for sale way back in 1968(? my recollection may be dodgy, but the cover resembled the UK Pan edition). 23skidoo ... this?
annaloog ● 14th Feb 2024		Book Alan Dean Foster - Star Trek (1994)	Star Trek 5 is one of the series of TV episodes adapted by James Blish. This title is, perhaps, an edition of Foster's Star Trek Log Five, but I'd think that more info. (such as contents) is needed to link the two. OTOH, "Colectia Science Fiction" appears to be a general series of SF titles from several Romanian publishers, rather than a series specific to Star Trek.
annaloog ● 8th Feb 2024		Book A. E. Van Vogt - Slan (1953)	Quote: ... and 35¢ was never an industry pricemark for merkin mmpb editions. ??? 1950s Ballantine PBs, like this example, have a 35c cover price. And Signet's 'S' price code indicates 35c.
annaloog ● 4th Feb 2024		Book Various Authors - Survival In Space (1969)	The "Russian title" as shown is the name of the Soviet cosmonaut, Yuriy Alekseevich Gagarin. The title of this book is "Survival In Space", and should be corrected. mod edit: title corrected
annaloog ● 16th Jan 2024		Book William McIlvanney - Strange Loyalties (2013)	In response to a correction request: the author's surname appears to be correctly spelled, going by various online references - the upper case "I" following "Mc" does look like a lower case "l".
annaloog ● 9th Jan 2024		Book Alan Dean Foster - Codgerspace (1992)	Book club edition? No ISBN or bar code, # 01092 on the DJ.
annaloog ● 9th Jan 2024		Book Van Lacey - A Lonely Shroud (1958)	Thanks, I was as hesitant to try to connect the two titles w/o more certain info.
annaloog ● 8th Jan 2024		Book Van Lacey - A Lonely Shroud (1958)	. . . it shows a different author name. Is 'Van Lacey' a pen name?
annaloog ● 8th Jan 2024		Book Van Lacey - A Lonely Shroud (1958)	Black Opal?
annaloog ● 6th Jan 2024		Book Edgar Rice Burroughs - The Lad And The Lion (1964)	The date may depend on whether the publication was a magazine serialization or a (later) hardcover edition.
annaloog ● 30th Dec 2023		Book René Termeer - Maccazine (2022)	Kinship notwithstanding, under "Maccazine", it clearly states, "Paul McCartney Fanclub Magazine". That, and the various volume and issue numbers point to a magazine.
annaloog ● 29th Dec 2023		Book René Termeer - Maccazine (2022)	This should be in Magazine world.
annaloog ● 13th Dec 2023		Book Various Authors - Time Untamed (1967)	??? I don't see Ivan Howard's name credited.
annaloog ● 19th Nov 2023		Book Michael Moorcock - The Oak And The Ram (1974)	I've been wondering if the 'backward h' might be a control character for machine-readable text, used at a time (1970s) before digital scanners and computers became ubiquitous. I have a number of Berkley books whose covers bear the same monospace type font for the book number. The '425-02534-075' no. isn't really an ISBN ... it appears to have been adapted from the SBN for retail inventory purposes. The ISBN-10 as shown is possibly correct for this title, but I'm dubious that it was actually assigned to this edition. mod edit: ISBN-10 removed
