Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Can someone correct the FIRST PUBLISHED date on this book?
I believe this is the actual first edition - published Aug 2, 2010
Packing for Mars The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach

The current "first published" data apparently only had a year, because it has defaulted to Jan 1, 2010.

Thank you in advance.


message 1868: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments And here's another one with a default "first published" date of Jan 1.

I believe this is the first edition - published on May 3, 2011
The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe

Thank you in advance.

LOL. Not enough coffee this morning! I thought, at first, those were years and wondered why you were listing years!..Got it.


message 1873: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1804 comments Please could someone check for me - I think it likely that these are two editions of the same book.

I'm reading the kindle edition - Chasing Hornbills: Up to My Neck in Africa, and there is a separate listing for a paperback Chasing Hornbills: Africa from the ground up.

If they belong together then I won't need to get the length verified. Thanks!

Kristen (kristenia) | 1120 comments I note that there is a paperback edition of The Missing Man but it doesn't list the page numbers. I checked on Amazon and it lists the page number as 146 pages.

Kristen, GR prefers Worldcat for source for page counts. Worldcat has the page count as 137. Added.

I think Amazon is acceptable as a source of info, since they bought GR. I read that somewhere but I can't remember where.

Kristen, Amazon is accepted when Worldcat does not list pages or for Kindle books. However, Worldcat is the prime source for GR page counts. I am sorry that the Worldcat information does not work for you.

Elizabeth is the one that responded about Amazon, not me. I'm fine with whatever source GR uses for page numbers.

The page number at 137 still works for me. I just needed someone to add a page number for the paperback edition so that I could link to that. Thanks for adding the page number :)
