First off, the page numbering is incorrect and should actually be 353.

Next the publisher is incorrect and should be Pocket Books.

And finally the title is actually Watching the Clock (Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations)

All the editions of this book should have the publisher and the title changed. Oh and when the title is changed, can the person changing the title put Watching the Clock (Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations) into the title field as well as (Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations) into the series field. This way I hope we'll be able to see the series info the the book list.

Thanks.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Changed all info that I could verify...I'm unable to verify the page number, so waiting for a librarian who owns this version to do that. Publisher website says 512 pages, which is my only source for this edition.

Publisher website always gets this wrong as they put in the print edition page number instead of the eBook page number. I'll pop up a screen grab so you can see the actual page number.

There is one fix that could use a refix please...the title...

Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations: Watching the Clock (Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations) <-- what it shows now

Watching the Clock (Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations) <--- what it should show

Thanks.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments I took the title from the publisher's website?

Sandra | 31526 comments Name fixed JSWolf.

Beth, sorry regardless of publisher's website (we all know how often they get things wrong) naming conventions still apply.

Name of book, then series, and sometimes for star trek, name of sub series.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Thanks, Sandra...I had it that way, to start with...then changed it to bow to the publisher...seems like it was different, no matter where I looked. I know Amazon is wrong as often as it's right, it seems!

Phair (sphair) I added this title: Chinese lanterns

It had no jacket but I scanned the title page. Can you put that in as the cover?
here: http://s942.photobucket.com/albums/ad...

here is the Worldcat entry for the book in case you need more data to clean up the record:
http://www.worldcat.org/title/chinese...

This author has written under various permutations of her name
Grace Gallatin Seton
Grace Thompson-Seton
Grace Seton Thompson
Grace Gallatin Seton-Thompson

so I don't know if its worth it for someone to try and combine her into a single authority since she isn't really all that popular nowadays.

Not too sure about merging all various names except waiting for author aliases feature. :)

The page number is 353 and here is the screen shot to prove it really is 353.



I would appreciate someone fixing this. Thanks.

P.S. Since I've never lied about the eBook page number, would it be possible to just be believed and not have to post screen grabs to prove the page number is as I say it is?

B&N along with all the other shops get the page number wrong and use the print edition number. Yes, this is the ePub and the program used to view the ePub is Adobe Digital Editions. It's what's used on most readers that allow ePub such as the Sony Reader, nook, & Kobo.

Thanks for fixing the page number.

Do I still have to show screen shots from Adobe Digital Editions in order to have to prove the page number I say is correct is correct?
