Srynerson | 123 comments Hi, I was inputting my library and ran across multiple issues with the entry for ISBN 0712660836

1): The correct title of the book is "The World the Railways Made". The GR entry omits the first "The".

2) The title in the GR entry has been done in all caps rather than with correct title-style capitalization.

3) The GR entry for says it's a hardback, but this ISBN is for the paperback edition. (In addition to checking my own copy, I verified that with Amazon.)

4) The GR entry is missing the page count. Correct page count for this ISBN is 360.

5) The GR entry is missing edition field information. Correct edition for this ISBN is "Pimlico Edition" per the publisher's information on the inside cover.

Thank you in advance.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments I double checked with both WorldCat and Amazon (which had the incorrect page count) and have updated the information for this edition and the other edition with the funky title (which was the true hardback).

If you are able to provide a cover image, I can add that as well, if you like?

Thank you very much for making the corrections. I unfortunately don't have a scan of the cover.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments OK, no worries! If you are ever able to scan the cover just let us know and we will be able to add it. Or, if you are able to find an acceptable source, then we'll be able to use that, too (I don't think that one on Amazon is good enough, unfortunately).
