Scrim Door (scrim_door) | 4 comments I have a copy of this book in front of me. The author is not Helen Taylor, but this guy - Robert Lewis Taylor

Here's the Amazon page for the book in question: http://www.amazon.com/Vessel-wrath-ti...

Goodreads has Dutton books as the publisher, while in my copy the publisher listed is New American Library and published simultaneously in Canada by the General Publishing Company.

I am posting this instead of changing the details myself, because I can't find the ISBN in my ex-library copy.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Hi Scrim, this has been fixed, but for future reference we can't take information from Amazon at all. Its an import error that's causing the addition of "Taylor" as an author. If you can take a photo of the cover and put it somewhere we can access, we can add that to the record as well.

Regarding the publisher - the Dutton imprint was owned by New American Library, so both are technically correct... It's now sort of separate again under Penguin. Publishing house 'names' are a pain sometimes. :) I'll add both to the record so that it shows more clearly + a librarian note to explain...

Lastly, do you know the number of pages in this edition?


Scrim Door (scrim_door) | 4 comments Hi Emy,

There are 373 numbered pages.

I'll get a photo of the cover later today.

Thank you.
