This is short story "El Sur" by Jorge Luis Borges. While both editions aren't really identifiable, the latter at least has a cover and a format.

Alternatively, if you think both editions are unidentifiable, the first time this story was collected was the 2nd edition (1956) of Ficciones, so both editions can be merged there, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficciones

This had the ISBN10 of the other edition, I moved it because I assumed I could do the merge myself, but no, too many adds.

Amazon.com gives that 2017 publication date (provided by ingram feed) as the US publication date for the Notting Hill Editions edition with the same ISBN. No source for publisher "psychedelic press" for this title other than the GR user who added it. Have also looked at press' website.

I don't think this book is real and it should probably be deleted (Warcraft). it's definitely not by the author listed, but also the asin doesn't seem to relate to anything, the cover doesn't look like a book, the description is from the film and also has a bunch of weird spam keywords at the end, and it's listed as only being 11 pages long. i'm a librarian but it won't let me delete it for some reason even though it only has three reviews.

Just a heads up that I've re-re-separated the Lolita in #493 and requeued. Hopefully that'll be through by March ;)

2. As was explained to you on the other thread, the book is not on your list of books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

#792 - Not finding any evidence of the ASIN, but absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Image is from the film, though, so if there IS a work, it will relate to the film IP not the game IP I presume.

Given the length and cover, I would tentatively suggest that it is/was a preview of Christie Golden's novel but that's on Duratan and the image is of Anduin, so... No idea!

Regardless, it has a valid ASIN and so it should remain once. I suggest starting a separate thread to resolve the issue of the author name.
