Walter Underwood (wunder) | 7 comments I corrected as much as I could on this title, but I could not delete the first author. The original had "Four Eagle Scouts", which is on the book, but not an author.

Also, the publication date was listed as 2010, though the book says "2007, 2008". The system did not allow me to use an earlier date for publication.

I can send scans of the book pages if you need verification.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Fixed, I think.

The named authors & illustrator are themselves the four eagle scouts referred to apparently. You can't just delete the first author name, but you can replace it either by typing in another name instead or by moving a lower name up & then deleting the original.

I changed the date to 2008, since worldcat has that as the copyright date. You have to change the year in 2 places; there's an original publication date further down the edit book page.

Hope it's AOK now. :-)

Walter Underwood (wunder) | 7 comments Thanks, looks good now.

The cover says "by Four Eagle Scouts" before listing the three authors and the illustrator.

Wow, my first attempt at cataloguing. How long until I understand what "title proper" means?

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments The book may also have been re-released in 2010, even though the original publication date is earlier...this happens with a lot of books...you'll see an early original publication date, then a later release date.
