For some reason my searching refused to show me there was already a paperback on goodreads! Maybe I'm just not that good at it. XD Thank you so much!

Siobhan J | 409 comments Actually, would it also be possible to get a page count added to the paperback edition?

Amazon is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1...

Thanks again! :)

Julia (julia103) | 2719 comments From Every Storm: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 35 does not have a description.

Can someone please add the description from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...

And can this be added to the Adventures in the Liaden Universe series instead of having the series name and number as subtitle?

Thanks

I didn't change this because Amazon has the 1/1/2002 copy as a "first edition" out of Canada (ISBN 9780002005142). I guess you'd have to prove which edition actually came out first.

Trish (trishhartuk) | 3675 comments Apologies for coming back to this one, but could one of you lovely librarians add a couple of page counts? Thank you.

The Man Who Never Was: The Remarkable Story of Operation Mincemeat
Amazon kindle page count: 194pg (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-who-Neve...).
I can't find that exact edition on WorldCat.

rather than the link you sent.

Hmmm ... I was under the impression that amazon data is notoriously unreliable. Jiles is a US author, I find it hard to believe that the Canadian edition would be released before the US edition.

I agree with you, but I was going on the only data I had and wasn't willilng to "guess". If I had the book in hand I may be able to make some other judgments based on my professional experience.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Thank you for checking, Kathy. I have the hardcover in my hands, but don't know what data you'd need to make any additional judgment. The task doesn't require a specific date, I just hate to see that default date in the record.

I do have a few questions that might help, since you DO have the book.
1) Where did you find the date that you think is the actual 1st published date?
2) What ISBN does the book have? Check both the back of the book jacket (if it has one) AND the back of the title page and see if they are the same.
3)What is the last PRINTED page number? Even if there are more pages with printing, I need that one.
4) What publisher is listed on the Title page itself?

The goodreads edition that matches my ISBN is this one: Enemy Women by Paulette Jiles
It states a publication date of Feb 05, 2002
When I google "enemy women" (using desktop and google chrome browser) I get a page with various links to amazon, goodreads, etc. On the right side of the page is a dashboard about the book and in that info is printed
Originally published: Feb 5, 2002

2) What ISBN does the book have? Check both the back of the book jacket (if it has one) AND the back of the title page and see if they are the same.
On the book jacket -and- on the back of the title page inside the book is printed:
ISBN 0-06-621444-0

3)What is the last PRINTED page number? Even if there are more pages with printing, I need that one.
Page 321 is last printed page.

4) What publisher is listed on the Title page itself?
WILLIAM MORROW
An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers


Additionally, on the back of the title page is printed "FIRST EDITION"

========================================

And, thank you, for going the extra mile on this issue.

With this information, and other research, I think I've resolved most of the issues with these listings.

As a t-shirt says, "Retired librarians never die... they just get re-shelved". I think I was re-shelved here at GR, because I can use some of my accumulated knowledge once and awhile!
