Do we have to include an author's middle initial if it's included? (e.g. "C" and "L" are both in RADICAL CHIC, but "S" is not - can I read something by CS Lewis?)

Thanks!

Glad you pointed out my omission. All initials count. I'll change the task to reflect that.

Yes, it says book 1 and book 2.

Please could you confirm science as a MPG for How to Survive a Plague: The Inside Story of How Citizens and Science Tamed AIDS? It's only shelved that way by 47 users so a bit worried it will fall off the bottom. Thanks.

That's a recent development.

See the FAQs for the general rule on how many books are normally required for a task in the various point ranges.

For an embedded genre, would Science in the genre "science fiction" work?

No. Science fiction is a separate genre. Also, the book needs to be nonfiction.

So, I know which book I want to use for Book 1 - I Used to Know That: General Science - and the MPG Science is there, but for some reason it isn't showing the number of users. You need to click the top shelves link to see that it's 13.

Can I still use it for this task?

There's no general requirement of how many users shelved it that way - just that it shows up on the main page. The genre is noted.

I've noticed this happening sporadically - who knows why! The ways of GR can be mysterious...………………….

But it doesn't matter for our purposes.

Cheers, Sandy.
