anyone with librarian status....
I've yet to find any listopias that I can't remove books from, so I think any librarian here should be able to handle that. I think it's just deleting books entirely that needs to be done by a super librarian.

If there are any more on there that you want removed let us know which ones they are.
I would probably put in a big bold capitalized note at the start of the list information that this list does not include non-fiction. It might help with keeping it clear.
P.S. Based on your list criteria I think Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? should probably be taken off as well.
Thanks, Nicola! Good idea about the note. I'll change that soon.I have librarian status, but I couldn't figure out how to remove them myself. Or at least, it wasn't obvious at first glance. Is there an edit button on lists that I'm overlooking?
On a Listopia's first page, at the end of the description of what should be on the list, there is a super tiny edit button. That'll take you to a page where, near the bottom, there's a button that says "Remove particular books". Hitting that will allow you to delete any book off the list.

Added it for you! :)
Will a librarian please add a page count, first published date, and cover for the book Juggling with Tigers? It is 182 pages and was originally published in 1995 which shows on its World Cat page: https://www.worldcat.org/title/juggli...
As for the cover, I can only find a photo of it on Amazon. I hope that's o.k.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you, Nicola.
Could someone add the paperback edition of Snowed, please. Amazon has the print version at 124 pages. I have an ARC in my hand that's 120 pages. The cover of the ARC is the same as the one in the link above. Thanks!http://www.amazon.com/Snowed-Veronica...

Can someone correct the original publication date for this book:Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free
It shows the 'default' of Jan 1, 2014. But I cannot find an edition that was published before Oct 07, 2014.
Thank you.

Done! I think when you add just the year of the edition without specific date it shows January 1st but I may be wrong.
Here's thing that I don't know how to fix.The Country Under My Skin: A Memoir of Love and War ... shows two authors, but Kristina Cordero is the TRANSLATOR, not a co-author.
She's correctly identified as a translator on this edition: The Country Under My Skin: A Memoir of Love and War
Thanks for supporting my OCD!

Kathy, GR does not note the number of CDs but rather the number of hours of listening for audio books. Per Worldcat, this book has 9 hours of listening time. GR entry updated.
Would a librarian please add a page count?The book is My Life in a Man-Made Jungle byBelle J. Benchley
I couldn't find the number of pages on Worldcat or Amazon. My local library has the count at 293.
I hope this is enough info for you.
Thanks
Actually I found page count on both Amazon and Worldcat. However, GR counts Worldcat as more accurate than Amazon, and Worldcat does agree with your library. Updated to 293 pages.
Bea wrote: "Actually I found page count on both Amazon and Worldcat. However, GR counts Worldcat as more accurate than Amazon, and Worldcat does agree with your library. Updated to 293 pages."Thanks, Bea. I guess I wasn't sure where to look on the Worldcat page.
Janice CA wrote: "Thanks, Bea. I guess I wasn't sure where to look on the Worldcat page."Janice, when looking for page count on Worldcat, scroll down below the list of libraries who have the book. It is in the data there.
I wanted to get my copy of Bloody Instructions verified for part of the challenge, but they told me to contact you because my edition is different than what is listed on here. My copy was published in 1962 by Harper and Row and has 212 pages. I don't know what the dustcover looked like since it is missing, but the book without it is yellow and is a first edition. On the help thread for the challenge they said one copy had no numbered pages and the other 10, so maybe those were promos?

Stacy, I found a copy that matches the year, publisher, and page count on Worldcat. I created your edition here

I don't know how to search for and add a cover to this book editionSeñor Vivo and the Coca Lord
ISBN - 0688111300
It's a hardcover first edition, published by William Morrow & Company
The cover shows a man standing with legs apart, an apparently naked woman right behind him, with her arms around him, and two black panthers behind them.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance.
Book Concierge, the cover has been added.

Hi, Currently Cujo by Stephen King has first published in 1979 but all editions (including the version i've just read) and internet information says it was first published in 1981 (hence winning an award in 1982 :) ). Is this something someone with librarian status can change?:

Lenny Bruce's book How to Talk Dirty and Influence People shows as first being published in 1965. My book and Worldcat both give the date as 1963 - https://www.worldcat.org/title/how-to.... Will a librarian please change the date if correct?Also, would you please add an original published date of 1949 to Everything But Money? Here's the Worldcat link https://www.worldcat.org/title/everyt...
Janice, I am going to leave Lenny Bruce's book for another librarian. I saw the Worldcat reference you gave, which also notes that the book was originally serialized in Playboy. Wikipedia article on Lenny Bruce (Lenny Bruce) notes: "Serialized in Playboy in 1964 and 1965, this material was later published as the book How to Talk Dirty and Influence People."The Worldcat reference notes it was copyrighted in 1963. That is not necessarily the publication date.
Janice, everything I can find other than the Worldcat reference you gave states that the original publication date is 1966. The book referenced in your Worldcat entry is almost twice as long as the GR entry. Agin, I will leave this for another librarian to decide.Sorry that I do not seem to be able to help you.
Thanks, Bea. You are such a great book detective. It still works for the task I'm completing. I just love knowing when a book was written.
Can a library correct the Original Publication date for this book:Not My Father's Son
It currently states the "default date" of Jan 1, 2014 (I'm sure the default date) ... but I don't find any edition before October 7, 2014.
Thank you in advance!
Per Amazon, the audio was produced October 1, 2014, so I set that as the original publication date.
