 | Dr Doom SUBS I wanna eat an artichoke once in a while Member since Feb 2008 25150 Points Administrator | This has been one of our out worst kept secrets…. It's time for a new world to enter public Beta - Book World. The moderators have been testing this world for a few weeks now and it seems to be running smoothly but we'll start a forum thread for any bugspots that might crop up. For any other feedback or questions please use this thread. Entering a book should be simple for anyone who has used any of the other worlds. Bibliographies may look a little odd to begin with but as more books are added original publication dates and original non English language titles will start to display in the appropriate way. It's probably worth mentioning that any books can be added NOT just music related books. Enjoy! Edited by Dr Doom on 6th Nov 2015, 1:23 PM |

 | gregs45s SUBS Member since Apr 2012 7450 Points | Sterling work as usual,i'm sure this will prove to be a very popular world,with seemingly endless scope.Would it be an idea to have a "Read It" button (as in,"i've read it") added?.Perhaps it could just be an incremental counter,that just goes up by one when clicked (no need to identify the clicker,but perhaps restrict it to one click per member (logged-on),per book,i.e,if you've read a book 10 times,you still only get one click),i think it would give a good idea as to which are the most popular books,as,unlike music perhaps,books aren't always retained once read (unless you're a book collector of course;).Just throwing it out there. PS Thanks to OC (and all involved) for getting the Top 50's going again,nice one  Edited by gregs78s on 7th Nov 2015, 1:19 PM |

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3730 Points Moderator | Before I add any, I have a few old second hand cloth bound books, which don't have a dust jacket, or anything on front... ...would it be worth uploading the inside title page as the lead image, as opposed to the front cover of the book? as while it may make for a pleasant abstract mosaic of blocks of colour on the home page, it won't be very informative. Your thinkings? |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3730 Points Moderator | Also... I've got a 6 volume everyman edition of Decline and Fall (2 separate boxes - Vols. 1-3, then Vols. 4-6). How would I add that, as there's no "Add linked release" button at the bottom of the page... Enter each box, then enter each volume and request a link in notes to each one, and then request the link for the two box entries?  |

My hunch would be box 1-3 as a single entity, and likewise box 4-6 - then with a link in notes like "See here for part 2 of the set". |

Your thinkings? While discussion is ongoing, I would say don't hold back - do add them when you can. At the moment there are a number of books with the plain hard cover showing, so it wouldn't do any harm to add it that way. If, in the end, it's decided to make the inside title page primary, yours and any others will be spotted and changed, or you can make a note to self to check it later - it's not over-important right now, which order the images are in. The World is in early days still. |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3730 Points Moderator | I've had a stab with a couple of Guinness Who's Whos, and will jump in feet first in the week, need to parcel books into groups of entries I think. |

 | Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 793 Points | Annoyingly I have given away a few of my older books, or sold too cheaply colourful hardbacks. I will see how linked releases go ( and those Pot-Pouri Books of short stories by one or more authors, editions, re-prints, publisher changes , etc , should be interesting ) |

Just wondering how far that statement goes, Does it include things like instruction / owners manuals, Event Programmes, Booklets etc.? Edited by cannyuk on 28th Nov 2015, 8:56 AM |

 | JPGR&B SUBS My aim - to add all my collections on 45worlds. Member since May 2009 4516 Points Moderator | Yes, is there likely to be a Concert Programme World or Theatre Programme World? |

| My Friend Jack SUBS ● Member since Feb 2009 752 Points Moderator | I notice that the books I submitted several hours ago haven't appeared on the "latest updates" panel, whereas books submitted more recently have. Am I doing something wrong or should I be completing the last box to offer evidence that my books exist? |

| My Friend Jack SUBS ● Member since Feb 2009 752 Points Moderator | It just occurred to me... my submissions might already have been approved out of sequence and have dropped off the visible panel.  |

They will of course appear in 'Latest Added' I wonder how much work has to go into approval - I assume that wonky, out of focus, 'incorrect', NSFW(hidden) have to be unapproved or special treatment to keep them off the front pages. |

Something like that yes, but it's all quite straightforward, the moderator tools we have work pretty well generally. |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4135 Points Moderator | Here be Book World, and there be Wikibooks. Not sure what the difference is, but they've got 3,120 books and we've got 41,000  |
