Graham7 9th Apr 2020		Book Matt Parker - Humble Pi (2020)	Interesting fact about this book, is that at time of adding (Apr 9), it is the most recent recently published book here that's not connected to Beatles or Bond. Take that how you will. I chose this book because I like the author's YouTube videos -> standupmaths. A nice feature is that the page numbers are in descending order.
Graham7 28th Feb 2019		Book Tony Fletcher - R.E.M. Remarks (1993)	Added completely different cover images, though it matches exactly with dates and barcodes on this entry. Both of these covers are for the New Edition, mine is the only one to have the UK price printed on reverse.
Graham7 19th Jun 2018		Book Peter Burns - Violence Is The Town	Is it Albert Babani? Did you see Bear Hudson publishing – The Bear Facts (6). There are 22 mentions of Babani. < TLDR, I Ctrl=F'd. >
Graham7 22nd Feb 2018		Book Tim Worthington - Top Of The Box (2016)	Wonderful reference book, I bought the Kindle edition (£2.99) and check it often.
Graham7 2nd Feb 2017		Book Douglas Adams - The Meaning Of Liff (1983)	Kibblesworth: The footling amount of money by which the price of a given article in a shop is less than a sensible number, in a vain hope that at least one idiot will think it cheap. For instance, the kibblesworth on a pair of shoes priced at £19.99 is 1p
Graham7 1st Dec 2015		Book Various Contributors - Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide 1987 (1986)	Just added my 2 editions. £200's worth went up to £700 in 1994, and £5,000 for a first pressing in 2014 (published 2012). There are 3 pages on The Beatles in 1994, rising to 9 pages in 2014.
Graham7 30th Nov 2015		Book Various Authors - The Gimmix Book Of Records (1981)	It's a 12" square picture book containing images of mainly Picture Discs, but also special sleeves, coloured / shaped discs and playable stamps. There are 1 - 16 images per page, with just a few paragraphs of text plus a 2 page introduction. I've added scans of the Contents and a sample page. And especially for any owners of this who may be confused by some of the page headings, and have lost their Errata sheet, I've added that too.
Graham7 9th Nov 2015		Book Anthony Scaduto - Bob Dylan (1972)	That's why I scanned that very page of Private Eye adverts! I was going to add it here, then I spotted it was for the original UK hardcover edition, priced £2.50, rather than the 60p this paperback sold for.
Graham7 8th Nov 2015		Book Jeremy Pascall - The Beatles Story (1974)	I've got this and the Beach Boys one. They are bound (glued), like a book, not stapled.
Graham7 27th Oct 2015		Book David Roberts - British Hit Singles 16th Edition (2003)	The publisher changes too (all seem to be variants on Guinness though). Thanks to TopPopper for starting a list. I'm going to change the title of this to include 16th Edition. They are all different books I think, they all contain new articles, features, commentaries of the latest year(s), new photos, and different lists can be found in them. Not adding much on Worlds at the moment, I've bought loads of singles recently, and 45cat always takes my priority if I have stuff to add!
Graham7 21st Oct 2015		Book Philip C. Plait - Bad Astronomy (2002)	Don't know where you were trying to visit, Jules, but badastronomy.com is not dead. Going to that address redirects you to Phil Plait's daily blog at Slate.com, one of the very few blogs I do read regularly. His older posts, up to Nov 2012, can be found at Discover magazine. The original Bad Astronomy site can still be accessed via this link (still live, not web archive).
Graham7 20th Oct 2015		Book David Roberts - British Hit Singles 16th Edition (2003)	Tried to keep the Title simple here so it automatically links to earlier editions, but I don't think this will work as the early ones were credited to Rice/Gamabacini/Read. A list will work though, and I might well make one. I reckon I've about 10 of these books, will add more as they surface. The front cover of my scan shows that it was left in the sun with a sticker which was later removed. I got this in a charity shop recently. My older editions are well battered through much use.
Graham7 19th Oct 2015		Book V. K. Chew - Talking Machines (1967)	I too ordered a (1p) copy and have just taken delivery of the 1981 version (see Other Editions below). Larger format means more pictures, though a few have been removed. Not read it yet, but there's a super advert for Odeon double sided records. which will be the "sample page" image I add.
Graham7 16th Oct 2015		Book V. K. Chew - Talking Machines (1967)	The 1981 updated edition can now be purchased for £999.11. {: Or a used copy from £0.01 (+£2.80 p&p). The 1967(?) copy I've uploaded was £2 from a record fair last year. Great little book, go buy one.
Graham7 3rd Oct 2015		Book Spike Milligan - Adolf Hitler (1981)	I agree. Also, do we need "Books" in the publisher? We've got another listing for plain ole Penguin.
Graham7 1st Oct 2015		Book Cynthia Lennon - A Twist Of Lennon (1978)	Images added from 1980 printing. I would have put UK for this, but agree that the prices shown on the back for Malta and Australia might qualify it as International, but then that would apply to a majority of books we would normally put as UK. Is this the same as Bert's copy?
Graham7 1st Oct 2015		Book James Cagney - Cagney By Cagney (2005)	Can't find anything printed inside to date this, but with a price of $15 and website address, it's not from 1976. After web searching, I've gone with Amazon.com, dating it 2005. They do have earlier dated paperback editions listed.
Graham7 1st Oct 2015		Book Hanif Kureishi - Love In A Blue Time (1998)	Is there an ISBN on the publisher/printer details page?
Graham7 1st Oct 2015		Book Louise Wener - Just For One Day (2011)	Previously published under a different title / ISBN, as noted in Notes. If someone makes an entry for the original, how would they be able to be linked?
Graham7 24th Sep 2015		Book Travis Elborough - The Bus We Loved: London's Affair With The Routemaster (2005)	My only Bus related book - I'm sure there will be several more along soon
Graham7 24th Sep 2015		Book Various Authors - The Gimmix Book Of Records (1981)	I see that comments about a particular edition appear on all editions of a title. How does the viewer know which edition the comment was originally made about?
Graham7 24th Sep 2015		Book Various Authors - The Gimmix Book Of Records (1981)	Nice that this links automatically to the Primary Edition - how does that work - is it because the Swiss issue is Hardcover or because it was added first? They both have the same year. I don't see a Moderator option to reassign a book as Primary (not that it's needed here of course) One of my favourite books, this. I have so far resisted the temptation to take scans from within to populate the other Worlds!
