Bea https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I added details to this book (The Truth About Us) but found two entries for it. I posted it in the Librarian group and requested that the two entries be melded into one. When that happens the ISBN will be assigned to this entry.

I added the details to this book (Heathens), but I was unable to add the cover as it is copyrighted. If you own this book, you can scan the cover to your profile, and a librarian can add it from there.

All done. Issues noted in separate posts.

Celeste (celesteryr) | 381 comments Wahoo! See Jecca ... Bea is one of the most reliable librarians on this thread. :) Now all you have to do is go back to your e-book post -- delete everything and state post is completed. And then hopefully DLMRose will finally see my posts. As my posts seem to be least priority on this thread. :( But I'm hopeful. ;D

Celeste, do you have these two books in hand?

Since I do not speak Japanese (nor read it), I am unable to search the web for GR approved sites to confirm the info. There is an Amazon.co.jp site but it is entirely in Japanese.

I think you would be better served to post to the GR Librarians group (https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...) as they are most likely to have someone who can read/write Japanese.

Same question. Do you own this book?


message 2059: by Bea (new)

Bea Celeste, I am sorry that I am so little help with your Japanese books. I had hoped someone else of this group might have jumped in. However, I think your best bet is to contact the GR Librarians as they have librarians who are adept in many other languages.

Hello, Celeste!
I found this manga on Amazon, but the number of pages differ a little. According to official counting there are 177 pages in the paperback version, so that's what I'll be going with, okay? :)

OMG! Just now I realized I'm in the wrong Forum. Oh, welps... xDD

Marie, Worldcat is GR's preferred site for page count. Amazon is used only for Kindle books or Createspace books since Amazon is acting more like the publisher. Worldcat has the page count for Karna's Wheel at 252, which is what I used.

Since it sounds like you have this book in hand and since Worldcat does not yet have the details on this book (not yet published), I have added the page count as requested. However, please note that, once published and reviewed by Worldcat, it could change.


message 2069: by Bea (new)

Bea Marie, I was unable to add the page count for Four Takeaways and a Funeral as the ISBN did not match the book in the Amazon link.

Paperback: Does It Yurt? Travels in Central Asia or How I Came to Love the Stans by Stephen M. Bland

Would you be able to add a page count to the paperback edition as well? WorldCat has it at 388 pages.

Laura | 31 comments Hi;

For the Hoodie-Hoo Day! challenge I'd like to read El Tercer Hombre but this one doesn't have the cover either; it's an older, discontinued edition by Alianza Editorial, and appears here:

https://www.iberlibro.com/TERCER-HOMB...

and with greater quality here:

https://www.todocoleccion.net/libros/...

(Amazon has a newer edition with a different cover)

If it could be added, I'd be much obliged :)

Laura could you please double check the details on those two links. I don't read the language so it's a bit confusing but it looks like the book numbers, page count and the dates don't match. Is 'Libros sin clasificar 14779758' meant to actually be an ISBN number?


message 2078: by Laura (last edited Nov 21, 2018 06:34AM) (new)

Laura | 31 comments No that looks like an specific number on iberlibro, the web. I should have added it, but I wasn't at home... anyway the ISBN is, straight from my copy:

ISBN: 84-206-0175-6

ISBN 13 (from the web): 9788420601755

Other data:

Graham Greene, 1950
Translators: Barbara McShane and Javier Alfaya

Depósito legal (Legal deposit??): M. 14-207-1986

About the date: you were right, that particular link is from a 1991 edition; mine is this, from 1986, but it's the same cover: https://www.iberlibro.com/servlet/Boo...

The isbn and publication date are to the right of the cover image, right over the state and the price of their books; I copy-pasted it below:
_
El tercer hombre
Greene, Graham

Editorial: Alianza Editorial., 1986

ISBN 10: 8420601756 / ISBN 13: 9788420601755

Usado / tapa blanda / Cantidad disponible: 0

I'm very sorry about all the trouble,

No problem at all I just want to be sure that I don't get any details wrong.

I've added that in now but I couldn't add the ISBN number as there is another already with that number: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....

Can you please tell me the number of pages on your 1986 edition so I can make sure that that is correct.

Page number is 110 (kind of scrapping the limit, I know... but I do have above-average length books too to compesate!)

message 2083: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne (perletwo) | 1586 comments Hi! I'm looking at the ebook edition of Evidence for a task, but the top mass market paperback edition doesn't have a page count.

A google search for the mmp's ISBN (0345522168) took me to the Google Books page for it, which lists it at 426 pages. Assuming that's an acceptable source, could you add that page count to the Goodreads page for that edition? The link in the first sentence will take you directly to that edition's page.

TIA

Susanne, GR prefers Worldcat for page count when possible. Worldcat states the page count is 426p. Entry updated.

Bea Cindi, the earliest date I can find on GR is April, 1981. Celeste, the date you were looking at is the edition publication date, not the first publication date. I have corrected the first publication date to say April.
