Edwina Book Anaconda | 26933 comments Reply to David #48.
I'm not sure how to explain this one ...
World Book Night receives donations, they use the money to print these books and then mail out cases of books to people to give away on World Book Night.
When I googled publish a book this is what I found:
"To publish means to make information and literature available for the public to view. Publishing involves the process of producing and distributing literature so that the public can have access to it."
Since World Book Night printed the books and distributed the books, I assumed they would be considered the publisher.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments #52 I agree. I changed the publisher.

Not sure if an ACE is needed or if the wrong cover has been attached to this one. The title and author are written in RED ink on the book above but it is GOLD ink on my copy.
If you go to the above book and click the amazon button it shows my book cover.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments #59: The Gifts of Christmas. Worldcat had 125 pages, but I added it with 127 per your book-in-hand evidence


message 64: by David (new)

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments #60
There are many editions on worldcat that partially match your description. This looks the closest, especially the "Bulwer's Novels" on the cover:
https://www.worldcat.org/title/kenelm...

So I've put 1891 as the publication date: Kenelm Chillingly. A cover picture would be nice.

For some reason Worldcat doesn't usually count "about the author" but GR policy says to count them ... so I do. :)

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments #67 Yes, since I know you are very familiar with GR standards I didn't bother asking.

Edwina Book Anaconda | 26933 comments David,
Oops, I forgot to ask you to add the summary on the book you did in message 63. Would you mind going back and adding the summary below? Sorry to be such a bother and thank you for all of the help you've been giving to me on my posts. I only have a few hundred more books from my massive library to add to my GR shelves. 7007 books added so far!
:)
Here is the summary:
This book of enduring beauty beckons you & your family to a journey
through all the meaningful days of Christmas.

message 75: by David (new)

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments #73 worldcat lists a separate book club edition with 309 pages, so I think it's a separate edition (although worldcat lists it with the same ISBN as we have). I added it here. If you can scan your cover I will add it.

I don't have a scanner and I need to charge my camera battery

Here is what I have for now.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments #79 I'm not sure what you are asking. The book already exists, and the reason is that you added it yourself an hour ago: Soldier's girl : Love story of a Para Commando. So what exactly are you requesting?

So sorry that my post was confusing. I should have said it is a two in one book instead of just listing the book titles with a space between.
Also, the title on the book you listed is incorrect ... it should read
Story of Some Bells not Story or, .

Andy2302 | 1 comments Question ~ How do I add a rare edition to the book list? I have an antique hardcover of Pinocchio by D. Collodi I can not find on GR.
Fully illustrated by Frances Brundage in 1924 published by Saalfield Publishing Co of Akron, Ohio. (Every Child's Library) 247 pages.
The pages are as thick as construction paper.
I can snap a picture of the cover but don't know how to post it.
Thanks

Reverted bad cover change in edition history, which revealed your cover originally attached to the record. Marked it an ace, created a new edition with newer cover, and moved ISBNs over in accordance with GR policy for ACEs:
