Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Can someone correct these listings?

There are multiple authors named MICHAEL PERRY. I've found an issue with these two
Michael Perry vs Michael Perry


The first three books listed under Michael Perry
Montaigne in Barn Boots An Amateur Ambles Through Philosophy by Michael Perry Danger, Man Working Writing from the Heart, the Gut, and the Poison Ivy Patch by Michael Perry Roughneck Grace Farmer Yoga, Creeping Codgerism, Apple Golf, and Other Brief Essays from on and off the Back Forty by Michael Perry
were actually written by Michael Perry
(Looks like there's an extra space between Michael and Perry in the second author listing)

Also ... the eighth book: The Clodhopper Monologues Live by Michael Perry was also written by Michael Perry

I came across this when looking for Montaigne in Barn Boots ... I have a first edition, signed by the author; I met him at an event and know for certain the author is Michael Perry .... so that got me curious and I found the other books also attributed to the wrong Michael Perry

You can find all these books on Michael Perry's website: https://sneezingcow.com/store/

Thanks in advance.

message 1970: by Celeste (new)

Celeste (celesteryr) | 381 comments I'm actually not sure if a Librarian can do all of this. Also if there's a way for regular users to add books then I would be glad to do that because IDK right now. Thank you so much for helping random strangers change books, making a greater digital library for all.

Motoyan Papa to Hitsuji Senesi by Tama Mizuki is ...
A) spelled Sensei not Senesi

B) There is a second book:
Title - Motoyan Papa to Hitsuji Sensei 2
Author - Tama Mizuki
Published - 2017
Publisher - Kadokawa
ISBN - I think it is 0570-002-001
Pages: At least 143. Probably 184 based off the other chapter averages.

I have included a GoogleDoc that has all the information so you look it over. Unfortunately it is in Japanese but the numbers seem to be where an ISBN would be.

The table of contents does not show how many pages, and we cannot put 153+. I also checked the Japanese Amazon (with a Japanese speaker) and could not locate the page number there.

Wayne, I've edited the title for this ISBN. The publisher website does indeed show the "Mayday!" cover with the "Rocket Man" title, but I'm not sure if that is an error or what. Both World Cat and Amazon list the "Mayday!" title for this ISBN, so I made the change for you. You should be good to go now.

Marie, do you have the physical book to verify 288 pages? I see that your Amazon UK link does indicate 288 pages. However, WorldCat lists this book as having 285 pages. Amazon.com does not list page numbers at all for this book.

Celeste, I took care of (A) and Kristina Marie has made the right suggestion for (B). The Librarians group has volunteers who speak many different languages and so will be able to assist you better with the Japanese books. However, please note that Google docs are not an accepted source for GR. Information should come from the publisher, Amazon, or the author's website. There are a few other sources that are acceptable...but Google docs are not.

I would suggest the GR Librarians group for this issue. This thread is primarily for helping SRC members with issues for books they are reading for SRC challenges...usually page numbers or publication dates.

Marie, Worldcat is the preferred GR site for page numbers unless it is a Kindle book...then Amazon is used. Worldcat says 285 pages. I added that. Hope it works for you.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Wondering about the "first published date" of this book
Trans-Sister Radio
I have this hardcover edition in my hands and it is shows as "FIRST EDITION" with a copyright of 2000

However, the book shows a "first published date of Aug 12, 1998"
I find this e-book edition Trans-Sister Radio, which seems to have the 1998 date.
But I also find THIS edition: Trans-Sister Radio
A paperback published by 4th Estate- AU ... with an even earlier publication date ... Feb 2, 1990.

Can anyone figure this out?

Thank you in advance.

Pam (bluegrasspam) Can someone please correct the title (missing the word “the”) and add the subtitle (it can be seen on the cover) for Seeing With The Mind’s Eye by Micheal Samuels and Nancy Samuels? I think Nancy’s name is missing also.

Book Concierge, it looks to me like this book was First Published in 2000. That is the date Chris Bohjalian's website uses as well as other sources. However, since I have not been able to figure out the rest of your question, I am referring it to the GR Librarian group.

Celeste, GR does not allow the use of Google documents as a source for book information. Worldcat is the preferred source, followed by the publisher, libraries, and some other sources. Worldcat does not have the ISBN13 listed on your linked book.

I tried the publisher site, but, since I do not read the language...well, I was lost.

As of this time, I am not making any changes to the GR entry. If you can provide an accepted source, this can be reconsidered.

Bea "Book Concierge wrote: "Wondering about the "first published date" of this book

Book Concierge, I posted this issue over in the GR Librarians group, and Sandra did the research and correction on it. She has corrected the First Published date to match the publisher and CB's websites and states that the miscellaneous ISBNs that do not exist are bogus.

See her response here.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Can someone address the "first published date" on this book
The Yearling

Currently it shows 1930 as first published date. But the hardcover I have in my hands states that the original copyright was 1938, and other information I've found on line shows a first published date of 1938.

By the way THIS "kindle" edition The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings shows a publication date of 1936 ... which would be impossible ... given that e-publication didn't exist then

Thank you in advance.

ALSO ... can you add
N. C. Wyeth as Illustrator?

Someone added this edition with that information, and I think it's the same book (though has no ISBN listed) The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings


message 1998: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Oh ... and The Yearling won the Puliitzer in 1939 .. which further indicates it was first published in 1938.

Added illustrator. The other book might be an alternate cover edition.
