annaloog 13th Oct 2022		Book C. M. Kornbluth - Thirteen O'Clock And Other Zero Hours (1970)	I may have to add this to my "to read" stack while I have it out; it's been a few decades since the last time.
annaloog 12th Oct 2022		Book Spider Robinson - Für Zeitreisende nur gegen bar (1986)	Acc. to this Wikipedia article, ISBN 3-453-31316-X refers to the Heyne edition of Für Zeitreisende nur gegen bar : Ein weiterer Abend in Callahans Saloon, German translation of Time Travelers Strictly Cash. 'English Title' field has been amended accordingly.
annaloog 4th Oct 2022		Book Evan Hunter - Nackt aus dem Fenster (1972)	English title added; info. from de.wikipedia.
annaloog 4th Oct 2022		Book C. S. Lewis - The Chronicles Of Narnia (1992)	So I was advised ... as it happens, I have three boxed sets among my accumulation: two MMPBs, the third hardcovers, yet to be entered.
annaloog 2nd Oct 2022		Book C. S. Lewis - The Chronicles Of Narnia (1992)	Unfortunately, choice is presently limited to Anthology / Hardcover / Paperback. Spelling of "Narnia" has been corrected, though.
annaloog 30th Sep 2022		Book William F. Temple - Battle On Venus (1963)	I don't know of a method for copying images from one entry to another, without copying the entire contents, normally only done when a duplicate entry is merged with the original ... unless by first downloading the images to a drive (HD, SSD, USB), then uploading them, losing the original attribution in the process.
annaloog 29th Sep 2022		Book George MacDonald Fraser - Royal Flash (1971)	This novel and the earlier Flashman were the basis for the screenplay for the film, Royal Flash, on which the author collaborated.
annaloog 29th Sep 2022		Book John Dos Passos - Adventures Of A Young Man (1955)	Lion Library seems to be a distinct imprint under Lion Books' umbrella, similar to Signet Books' Signet Classic(s). My main reference (which I'll need to add at some point) has a not quite complete listing for LL 1 through LL 175.
annaloog 26th Sep 2022		Book Giovanni Boccaccio - Il Decameron (1982)	It is linked because of author name and English title. I don't know how the 3-vol. edition was presented, perhaps the English title will need adjusting. I have a 1-vol. Dell edition (not yet ready for prime time), that has 10 parts (First through Tenth Days), with 10 Tales per Part, plus Foreword and Conclusion. Despite being advertised as "complete, unexpurgated', it has roughly 200 fewer pages than your Penguin edition.
annaloog 25th Sep 2022		Book Giovanni Boccaccio - Il Decameron (1982)	Judging from the Penguin adhesive label covering the 'usual' price indicators on the back cover, this appears to have been intended for sale in Canada. There are similar labels with USA prices on some of the Penguins in my collection, such as this Erskine Childers pb.
annaloog 22nd Sep 2022		Book Henry Kuttner - Clash By Night (1980)	Stories selected and with an Introduction by Peter Pinto. Title page acknowledges participation of C. L. Moore. As ppint noted, the cover artist is not credited.
annaloog 19th Sep 2022		Book Stan Smith - Soldiers' Women (1959)	Stories originally published in various men's magazines, 1956-'59.
annaloog 19th Sep 2022		Book John Norman - Tarnsman Of Gor (1966)	Quote: ... John Norman is a pen name for John Lange, a philosophy professor of all things. Correction submitted .... This info. has been added to the author bibliography ... it's a similar situation to that of Jack Vance, which is also a pen name.
annaloog 17th Sep 2022		Book Damon Knight - Hell's Pavement (1971)	The cover illustration here looks as if it might have made inspired Larry Niven ...............................
annaloog 16th Sep 2022		Book Paul W. Fairman - The Glass Ladder (1950)	Cover art is signed, but I can't quite resolve the signature ... enlargement added [image #3084051].
annaloog 16th Sep 2022		Book Steven Paul Davies - The Prisoner Handbook (2007)	How can this be both non-fiction and science fiction? ... I could understand were this the Apollo astronauts' account of their moon landings.
annaloog 16th Sep 2022		Book Susie Moloney - Bastion Falls (1999)	Judging from this short sample, 071009 appears to be Dell in USA, Island in UK ... perhaps both now merely imprints of the same conglomerate, Penguinrandomhouseetcetc.
annaloog 13th Sep 2022		Book Jocelyn A. Beard - The Best Women's Stage Monologues Of 1992 (1993)	OCLC (Class) no. changed to 792.028, as shown in the Cataloging in Publication section [image #3081109], and author changed to editor.
annaloog 12th Sep 2022		Book Arthur Achleitner - Raubschützen	While Raubschützen is not listed among the author's works, this Wikipedia entry does, at least, show dates of birth and death ... though I have to wonder if whoever wrote up the entry knows the difference between the Mediterranean and Adriatic coasts. This wikisource entry (ins Deutsch) does offer a 1901 publishing date for Raubschützen.
annaloog 3rd Sep 2022		Book John F. Watt - Wonders Of The Spaceways (1953)	This is another that appears (to me) to be more a magazine than a book, particularly the "In this issue" bit on the cover, and the thin paper used for the wrap ...??? Also, one author shown, but several story authors listed in Notes.
annaloog 2nd Sep 2022		Book R. L. Fanthorpe - Supernatural Stories 57 (1962)	Thanks, apparently a periodical series similar to, say, Avon Monthly Novel ... perhaps those Supernatural Stories listed as magazines should be 'moved' to books?
annaloog 2nd Sep 2022		Book R. L. Fanthorpe - Supernatural Stories 57 (1962)	?? This appears to be a magazine, like Supernatural Stories No. 14.
annaloog 27th Aug 2022		Book James E. Gunn - The Listeners (1978)	Probably Peter Elson, although I don't see his 'PE' monogram as appears on his other Arrow covers.
annaloog 26th Aug 2022		Book Neal Stephenson - Termination Shock (2021)	Does the signed edition have a different ISBN than what is printed on the DJ?
annaloog 19th Aug 2022		Book James Blish - Mission To The Heart Stars (1982)	Fourteen? ... I think I have eleven of them, purchased at the time.
annaloog 19th Aug 2022		Book James Blish - The Star Dwellers (1982)	One of the two "Rowena" covers for this Avon/James Blish reprint series ... the other is for Titans' Daughter.
annaloog 19th Aug 2022		Book James Blish - Mission To The Heart Stars (1982)	I suspect this is a Barlowe cover; he created the artwork for a number of James Blish titles in this early 1980s series from Avon. The cover graphic here perhaps is a detail of a larger work.
annaloog 16th Aug 2022		Book James Blish - Jack Of Eagles (1982)	The publishing history page correctly shows the first printing date, but incorrectly indicates this edition as a second printing ... it is a fourth or later printing.
annaloog 14th Aug 2022		Book Mochitsura Hashimoto - Sunk! (1958)	Class no. 940.5451 refers to European history (?)
annaloog 11th Aug 2022		Book Robert A. Heinlein - The Rolling Stones (1977)	The "Martian flatcat" episode was, perhaps, the inspiration for David Gerrold's story, "The Trouble with Tribbles", from the original Star Trek TV series.
