Wrong Edition Years

[Hal]

Hola.

This one's about a book that isn't mine, for a change. However, I did just review it and the editor of the zine I write for put in the wrong date because that's what's listed on Goodreads. So I'm coming to you to fix that.

While I'm not Guy N. Smith, who's passed, I am his biographer and I helped him put his original bibliography together, which is what all the online bibliographies build on.

There are five editions of this book at present and two of them are listed incorrectly.

The first edition, which you have listed as 1 Jan 1976 actually came out in December 1986.

The second edition, which you have listed as 1 Dec 1986 actually came out in December 1988.

The other three editions are correct.

As I'm not the author here, what evidence should I provide to back this up? I own both editions, as well as the handwritten manuscript, so can scan the legal pages if that would help.

Here's the page for Cannibals on Guy's official website:

Here's the page for Cannibals at guynsmith.rocks:

You'll also find it correctly listed as 1986 on Wikipedia and pretty much everywhere else there's a bibliography.

All the best,
