This is a new eBooks. It's not some obscure version. So what I want to know is why? Why are these errors there? No cover, wrong publisher, and wrong page number.

The cover should be http://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/... (please use that one as it will give the best possible cover image when it's reduced down)

The publisher is Pocket Books. Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group never publishes Star Trek books/eBooks.

And the page number is always wrong as it's the print number. The proper page number is 318. And please don't make me have to take yet another Adobe Digital Editions screen grab to have to prove the page number. Just take my word for it.

Thanks.

Deborah | 390 comments The information was imported directly from Barnes & Noble. Are you also complaining to them about incorrect data?

JSWolf | 649 comments I've not complained to B&N. I figure that finding and fixing the source of the errors would be something Goodreads staff would do so the number of error reports would drop.

Anyway, all the B&N Star Trek eBooks I've seen use the wrong publisher. The page numbering is always wrong and most of the time the cover is incorrect either too small or rounded corners or both.

Since these are pretty consistent errors, why not have someone go through the listings for tar Trek eBooks from B&N and fix them please?


Besides pointing out things that are wrong a lot of the time imported from B&N, I am also asking for them to please be fixed.

Elizabeth (Alaska) I just have to pop in here and remark that GR librarians are volunteers.
