Sarah B | 47 comments My copy of Cat Man Cat Man by Edward Hoagland seems to be an addition not on Goodreads.

I have photos of the title page and everything on my photo area. But here is some of the info:

Title: Cat Man
Author: Edward Hoagland
Publisher: Arbor House
Year: 1984
Original copyright is 1955 (and I think Goodreads has it as 1956?)
Pages: 310
Large softcover? (It's a bit larger than a paperback)
Language: English
Includes an introduction by Roger Sale (5 pages) + (1 blank page)

Total page count including Introduction: 316

The cover image is there.
Plus photos of the title page, the copyright page and the final page of the book with the page count..

I prefer to photograph those pages as sometimes I find the copyright page a tad confusing on some books.

And the cover image I took myself from the book I own.

With time I will look through more books I own to see which ones need stuff added.

Ok done

The 1956 date refers to when it was first published not the date of copyright. Hoaglund's Wikipedia page also has it at 1956, but if you are certain the book was first published in 1955 I can dig a bit deeper.

A later copy with this ISBN has taken the ISBN fields, so I have put it in the description.

It will take time for the entry to show, so please use the link I have given in this post.

Sarah B | 47 comments Thanks!

I have found a few more books I will put over here in this area.

I guess I don't know the difference between the copyright and the published date, which is why I take photos of that page.
