For BB we still go off the top rated mmpb. I had to follow this however we can change this if we can find someone who can research and update the page number. I feel it could be the wrong page count.

Drat. I though I had. I expect it was because I swapped the books over at the last minute. Sorry.

Hi. It was not published on January 1, 2001. Every other internet source lists the publication date as either in September or October. But I can't seem to find a definitive answer, so we can just drop this from my points. Sorry for the confusion.

hi Valerie - i can update the file with the correct first published date - i hate how the default date on GR is always jan 1 - then you can republish

GR lists almost all books published before a certain date (maybe when the site started?) as Jan 1 of the appropriate year.

yep - basically if the first published date field, which is located at the bottom of the page is empty it defaults to 1 Jan. I did just update the file - give it 10-15minutes and it should show the correct data
