My first potential book selection and I already have a question. My book, Liar's Poker was published in 1989, but GR shows it as 1990 and then says (first published ... 1989) in parentheses. I assume this will be okay to meet the criteria for 1989? Of course, there are many editions with all kinds of publication dates. I never paid so much attention before.
Mod
The date that matters is the date it was first published. The other dates you see are when specific editions were published.
I ended up with 1982, which apparently wasn't a good year for books - at least not ones I'd be interested in and can actually get my hands on. This morning it occurred to me to look at the Newbery Awards, and I found The Blue Sword. Right now it's listed as YA, but not children's. I'd like to have it verified, please, as not kids.
Mod
verified as not childrens genre.
so I generated a 2, so I can read any book published in 2013?
Mod
any book first published in 2013, that otherwise meets SRC requirements.
