lethe | 16359 comments As far as I can tell, Helikon is a bookstore and therefore not a valid source for covers and other book data. Did you use that image or did you find it somewhere else, Christine?

Also, the author name seems to be incorrectly formed. I think it should be this one:

lethe | 16359 comments Also, for future reference, don't bump requests every day, especially ones in the Adding New Books folder.

Please wait at least a week or two.

lethe | 16359 comments Could you at least answer my question? Is Helikon a bookstore?

Hi!
I am pretty sure that it is not a bookstore. In terms of bookcovers you can find the bookcover for this book and other monthly books compiled here :

https://pravoslavendom.wordpress.com/...

I understand that it is hard to navigate since it is in Bulgarian, but the info for these books are hard to come by on the web :).

Thank you again for adding it!

lethe | 16359 comments Sorry, I looked at their terms of use (Общи условия), and while they do not explicitly say they are a bookstore, they do say
Забранено е копирането, предаването, разпространението, съхраняването или по какъвто и да е друг начин използването на част или цялото Съдържание в каквато и да било форма без изричното писмено разрешение на ХЕЛИКОН.БГ (Google Translate: "It is prohibited to copy, transmit, distribute, store or in any other way use part or all of the Content in any form without the express written permission of HELIKON.BG")
https://m.helikon.bg/page/obshti-uslo...

In any case, it is a commercial company but not the publisher. Therefore, I reverted the image upload.

Blogs like Wordpress are also not a valid source. If you have the book yourself, perhaps you could make a scan or take a photo of the cover?

Alexandar (alexandartunev) | 59 comments I made a photo of the cover just now.

Here is the link https://pasteboard.co/k6hquAwRLi70.jpg

Hope this helps.

Thanks, have added that :)

If you also have the other books in the series, perhaps you can photograph those covers as well? You can upload them here: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new

lethe | 16359 comments I replaced the February, October and December covers, but I am not going to add the other editions.

Please either move this thread back to the Adding New Books & Editions folder and replace [DONE] with [OPEN] in the topic title, or start a new thread in the Adding New Books & Editions folder to request the remaining editions to be added.

Christine | 2061 comments Sorry, I am only seeing this now. I did take the picture from Helikon which I understood to be the publishing company behind the imprint "Orthodox fatherland". But that was incorrect, thanks for replacing the image.

And yes, something seems to be wrong with the second variant of the author's name, even though I cannot see any difference. To make sure, I have copied&pasted the name from your link – for the moment, there are still different author pages, but I will wait for the database to update.


message 17: by Christine (new)

Christine | 2061 comments It's 9 hours later, but still the author attribution is not displayed correctly for the second variant of the name.

We have
Димитрий Ростовский versus
Димитрий Ростовский

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I cannot see any difference between the spellings.

Arenda | 26447 comments Sometimes an identical duplicate author profile is created in error. It should not be possible, but it sometimes happens.
Duplicate author profile is merged now. Remaining one is here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
