Can I please add +5 combo for 20.6 award, Benson Medal, 1938, as approved in thread?

And whilst I was looking for the above I found E.M. Forster received the BensonMedal in 1938

Can I please have added Daphne du Maurier for her 1978 Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery...

Thanks, I thought it would be 1982 as that is the latest date of the two original editions. I think the only new part is the introduction.

I am reading The Wind's Twelve Quarters / The Compass Rose by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is a combined edition of two different collections of short stories, so I am wondering whether the date of this collection should be used, or that of the original collections?

And, I don't think these are connected, so does that make POV void?
