Deborah | 1668 comments Could someone add the page numbers to the paperback of Delivering Evil for Experts?

Thanks

Christine | 917 comments Is any librarian able to find a page count for this top MMPB edition of The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax? The GR page currently lists a page count of 0 pages, which is clearly inaccurate. I have been unable to find an accurate page count for this edition.

I own an audio edition of the book that I would like to use for the upcoming Winter Challenge, but challenge rules stipulate that the top MMPB will be used to establish length. 0 pages doesn't cut it. :-(

Worldcat says 381. I added that, since Worldcat is the GR preferred source of page counts.

Unfortunately the ISBN is not listed with Worldcat, Fawcett (the publishing company is no longer in business) and Amazon resellers do not list page counts.

If the top MMPB does not have page numbers use the next record
The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax

message 2522: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1804 comments Please could someone switch some covers around please, if that is possible? There are two books which have the covers swapped so neither is right.

This edition of Xone of Contention by Piers Anthony Xone of Contention, has a cover which belongs to Zombie Lover by Piers Anthony Zombie Lover, and the cover of Zombie Lover belongs on the Xone of Contention book.

According to Scribd neither of the page counts is right either.

Zombie Lover has 498 pages
Xone of Contention has 434 pages

Thank you if anyone can sort this tangle out!

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Can the FIRST PUBLISHED date of this book be corrected, please?

Currently it shows June 2019 but there are many editions, including these -
The Daughter's Tale by Armando Lucas Correa and La hija olvidada by Armando Lucas Correa
that show a publication date of May 7, 2019.

Thank you in advance.

I checked Worldcat for this ISBN and it was listed as an ebook. I also checked Worldcat for other editions by this publisher and the page count varied from 224 to 256. So...I went to the publisher. There this ISBN is listed as a paperback with 230 pages. That is the page count I used.

Thanks.
230 pages is fine. I have the Kindle edition so wanted to make sure the paperback had a page count when I get around to reading and posting.

Nick (doily) | 3394 comments Can someone with librarian status please correct the following problem?

The book Ghosts and Grisly Things is a collection of stories by the single author Ramsey Campbell. He is listed as an editor on the book's homepage, not as the sole author.

I listened to the CD book. It's fine for 195. I just needed a page count.

message 2541: by Julia (new)

Julia (julia103) | 2720 comments Please add co-author Albert Z. Carr to Walker: The True Story of the First American Invasion of Nicaragua

The Contents page has:
INTRODUCTION by Rudy Wurlitzer with Ed Harris and William Walker (page 1)
A CONVERSATION WITH ALEX COX AND RUDY WURLITZER (page 17)
THE WORLD AND WILLIAM WALKER by Albert Z. Carr (page 63)

The Copyright page says "The World and William Walker" on pages 63-270 is an abridgment of the book of the same name originally published in 1963 by Harper & Row, Publishers.

I'm not sure if Alex Cox should also be added.

Also, please add description:
This is a tie-in to the 1987 movie "Walker" containing an interview with the writer and director as well as an abridged version of The World and William Walker.

Bea Julia, the problem is that the author name is different. I have tried to add S. Fowler Wright to the Samuel Wright books but GR will not process the request. Until that is successfully done, the books cannot be combined.

Bea, Is there something that I can do to help with this?
The cover on the one that is set up as Samuel Wright says S. Fowler Wright. Neither Amazon nor WorldCat list Samuel Wright for this book, so I don't know where GR got that name. The author description for S. Fowler Wright says his first name is Sydney (not Samuel).

Julia, GR is not allowing the author change to be made. It is probably a temporary glitch. Until that can be done, the books will not be able to be combined.

EDIT: I just checked the Librarian Group and found that combine and other edit functions are down. Once they are back up and operative, your request can be completed.
