Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments And here are two more mistakenly attributing editorship to Allende

What is Secret Short Stories by Chilean Women by Isabel Allende is edited by Marjorie Agosín

Landscapes of A New Land Short Fiction by Latin American Women by Isabel Allende actually edited by Marjorie Agosín

(Although it's possible these anthologies include stories by Allende, of course.)

Without being able to look at the table of contents I can't verify who the individual authors are, so for now I'll just correct what I can verify - the editor.

Wow .. thanks for all that work, Aprilleigh. An impressive list of contributors. Makes me want to seek it out.

Agreed, I already checked my local library for it - no joy.

Julia (julia103) | 2719 comments Can someone please add page counts for

The Hard Way Home (my book in hand from the library has 234 pages)

The World Starts Anew (my book in hand has 246 pages)

These are the paperback editions.
Also, can you add the descriptions from WorldCat?

(I don't know why the Links buttons on the book pages don't have Libraries, but if you go to WorldCat and put in the ISBNs they do come up.)

There are a number of standalone copies of The Midnight Library already in GR, including hb. This ISBN seems to always lead to the 2-book set in Amazon, etc.

What is the ISBN on your single copy?

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments I have a hardcover edition of Rhys Bowen's Her Royal Spyness in my hands.

ISBN: 9780425215678

But when I search by ISBN I get
Her Royal Spyness ... which is listed as a "paperback"


Clicking on the "other editions" of the book, I do not find a hardcover edition at all.

All the information given for this "paperback" edition seems to match the hardcover I have in my hands.

Thanks for clarifying.

I added another record for the hardback, per WorldCat AND https://hpb.com/products/her-royal-sp... (which shows hardcover). This sometimes happens. Remember that an ISBN search will only find the original listing; use the "other editions"

I added the cover for this ISBN. Couldn't find any pagination listed for that ISBN, so added per you.

Julia (julia103) | 2719 comments Please combine:

The King's Consort
The King's Consort-The Louise Rasmussen Story

Also, this needs some fixing up:
- The second one is listed as ebook edition but has an ASIN.
- The first one has the author's name formatted incorrectly (middle initial should be upper case with a period) so it isn't linked to the author's page.
- I believe "The Louise Rasmussen Story" is a subtitle, so the hyphen after "Consort" on the second one should be a colon.

Thanks.

It looks like the updates worked but the combine didn't.
The King's Consort has average rating 4.23 and MPGs Historical Fiction and Romance.
The King's Consort: The Louise Rasmussen Story has average rating 3.75 and no MPGs.

Can't understand what's going on with your searches for this book; I can search and find it using title, title word, author, etc. and don't find anywhere with the name doubled.

I think someone may have fixed it already. It looks like it was recently edited.
