Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments The new reprint editions of Veniss Underground by Jeff VanderMeer have several issues that need to be cleaned up:

PAPERBACK EDITION (Veniss Underground: A Novel, ISBN 9781250860958):

- The title of the book has "A Novel" included in it. As I understand it, subtitles like that are not supposed to be included in Goodreads titles, and as such it should be removed.

- Unsure if this is enough of an issue that it needs to be actively corrected, but the book description on Goodreads is very similar to but does not 100% match the one listed on the publisher website (https://us.macmillan.com/books/978125...). I'll leave it up to the librarians to decide what to do there.

- Charles Yu wrote the foreword and should be included in the author list.

EBOOK EDITION (Veniss Underground: A Novel, ISBN 9781250860965):

- The cover art is missing. It can be found here: https://mpd-biblio-covers.imgix.net/9...

- "A Novel" is included in the title again.

- The description is not a 100% match again (ebook publisher website page: https://us.macmillan.com/books/978125...)

- Charles Yu is missing again.

HARDCOVER EDITION (Veniss Underground, ISBN 9780374610357):

- The book is separate from the other editions of the book and needs to be combined.

KINDLE EDITION (Veniss Underground: A Novel, ASIN B09Y46XTFM):

- The cover art is missing and can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Veniss-Undergr...

- The book needs to be combined with other editions.

- The page count is missing. It is 416 pages.

- The release date is April 11 2023, not March 7.

- The "A Novel" subtitle is present and needs to be removed.

Let me know if I should move this to the projects folder. Thank you in advance for the help.

Liralen | 8224 comments Mostly done - I didn't change the descriptions because minor variations are generally acceptable, unless something's outright inaccurate, there are spoilers, etc.

I think I've gotten everything else, save for the covers. Could you mark this topic as done and post a cover request in the cover folder? (Downloading/uploading covers doesn't agree with my computer, but you'll likely get a quicker response on a single-type request!)
