Shane Phillips first published date is wrong. should be sept 27,2011 not January.

Bea actually, the publication date for this book per Amazon shows as 9/1/11 not 9/29/11. Since the 9/1 might be a default, I did not change it. I did make the original pub date 2011 only rather than the specific month/day since Worldcat only lists the year.


Shane Phillips Lee Child's own webpage shows the 9/27/2011 date.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Taking a look, will require fixing a couple editions dates, and finding out what they should be.

I have seen amazon list the 1st of the month a number of times when they seem to only know the month and year.

Both the Authors site and Wikipedia state the 27th in the US, so that is probably correct.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Finding some other dates that may throw that off.


Shane Phillips Well. Anytime in September will fix the sorting between book 15.5 (August 15 2011) and 17 (August 30 2012).

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Set to 9/23/2011, since from what I could find the Dutch edition is showing as being released on that day, and you cannot set an original pub date later than the earliest edition.


Shane Phillips Thanks! That is perfect it now sorts right on my phone and on website.
