Info check? My Little Pony Animated Volume 1

[Courtney]

So I was looking up the ISBN 9781613777541 to find info for a book I'm cataloguing at work. It comes up in goodreads and either there is a similar item that was put under the wrong ISBN, or (more likely) the info was entered before the item was published and is now out-dated, as it doesn't match the physical item.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - is the record. 1 edition.

The physical item:

My Little Pony (this is the series):

The Magic Begins "Friendship is Magic, Parts 1&2". (Title, and subtitle? It's the episode title the book is going off of. They use it as a sub-title on the title page, but no-where else, like the cover or spine.)

Publisher: IDW publisher.(Record attributes publisher as the author.)
Book credits:
Written by Lauren Faust
Adaptation by Justin Eisinger
Edits by Alonzo Simon
Lettering and Design by Tom B. Long

This is from the 1st printing edition.

"As the Summer Sun Celebration nears, the ponies of Ponyville are busy getting ready for the festivities. And though Twilight Sparkle is focused on her studies and books, before long shel'l learn the value of true friends when an unexpected threat leaves all of Equestria in the dark!" -- summary from book.

"Includes the episodes: Friendship is Magic, parts 1&2!" -- back of book. This is Volume #1.

A series page would also be useful.
The other book we have in the series I have at hand is ISBN: 9781613778302: When Cutie Calls. "Includes the episodes: Call of the Cutie & The Cute Mark Chronicles." It's #2.

I looked these up at the publisher's site, and I think you're correct. THey were all pre-pub cover changes, for this one and the next one in the series. I fixed up this book and added the series (which they're calling "My Little Pony: The Magic Begins" on their website) here:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1381...

You have a copy of 9781613778302? Could you tell me who the author is on that one? THe publisher's website only lists "Various".

Found When Cutie Calls on Worldcat and updated the authors.

Are they actually a series, or an imprint?

[Z-squared]

I believe series. They have overlapping characters, for one thing.

[Courtney]

It's a series. It looks like they're all 'synopsis'/novelizations of the TV show.

Do you still need the info for 9781613778302? I"ll have to get it to you tomorrow, since the book is at work.

[Courtney]

I'll check the other My Little Pony books in the stack, as well. I think they're a different series - they're a lot bigger. The ones above might be pocket editions or something, but I'll see tomorrow.

It looks like it, but I'm not sure. We have some of the books here from that series (Vol.02 and 03), and they're quite large - about 26x17 cm.

The ones I mentioned - 9781613776285, 9781613778609 - are only 23x15 cm, and about 1/3 of the length. They also don't match any of the covers that are shown on that list, despite being Vol. 01 and 02. Vol. 01 says it's the first two issues of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

It looks like according to the list the 'big book' volume 1 is a compilation of issues #1-4. the mini book here is a compilation of issues #1-2. They seem to be publishing a second version of compilations. You can probably add them to the series... It odd that they would do so, though.

[Z-squared]

Well, comic book publishers do that a lot, actually. But it does make for a bit of a headache here on Goodreads :P

[Courtney]

Yeah, I can imagine!

[Courtney]

Thanks for all the help!

[Z-squared]

Ok, for ISBN 9781613776285, it looks like there was another pre-pub cover change. I have separated it from volume 1-4 and renamed it. Can you tell me who the authors are?

For ISBN 9781613778609, do you know which issues that's a compilation of? Is it #3 and 4, maybe?

[Courtney]

I'll check when I get to work.
