Trying to read the Tony Award nominated plays. No page count on this one:

Bedroom Farce: A Comedy In Two Acts by Alan Ayckbourn

Could a librarian take a look? Thanks

That edition has 93 pages and won't qualify this season.

[Owlette]

Thanks for fixing it!

My father gave me a paperback copy of this and recommended I read it...but no pages are listed and the book isn't paginated. The front cover however indicates "OVER 150 PAGES"...Senior Smiles II: Big Giggles in Big Print by John Moher
Also I only see a Kindle edition for this book when I clearly have a real book in my hands.

BTW... are there any rules that pertain to Big Print books?

Would a librarian take a look at The Law of the Four Just Men by Edgar Wallace?

It is the third book in the Four Just Men series, but seems to have gotten the publication date (1921) and series entry record confused with the first book in the series. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fou...

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

All of the editions of that title will need to be separated. I'll report in the librarian group and maybe someone will be willing to work on it.

Just to clarify, "The Law" is the fourth book in the series. Your ID of the 1921 original publication date is correct.

I'm sorry, I didn't answer this. We don't consider Large Print editions when determining page length.

I would like to read Goody Two-Shoes for 20.10 (letters) and it appears that the book records are all over the place. Could you point me to the MPE and take a look at the pub date? According to Wikipedia, the author is Anonymous and the book was published in 1765. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_His... and https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13675

Thanks for the help!

The Goodreads record shows the 1765 you are requesting. The Wikipedia page shows that, though originally published anonymously, it has been attributed to Oliver Goldsmith. The MPE is the book you link at 112 pages.

Thank you very much. I just read an article about this book and it sounded interesting as a cultural artifact.

Could a librarian verify the number of pages for the MPE of

Mr. Guelpa,: The famous French detective, visits America and finds the most baffling mystery of his career awaiting him,by Vance Thompson

Looks like it is currently listed as 5 pages. See https://www.worldcat.org/title/1828676

Mary wrote: "Could a librarian verify the number of pages for the MPE of

The MPE is this edition at 339 pages: Mr. Guelpa

Thank you! Didn’t even see this edition!

Would someone take a look at

BOUVETOYA, SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN-- RESULTS FROM THE NORWEGIAN ANTARCTIC RESEARCH EXPEDITIONS 1976/77 and 1978/79 -- by Olav (Expedition leader) Foreword Orheim

Goodreads has it with zero pages. The online PDF has 133 pages. See

Could a librarian help with this book (pagination for 10.3 and 10.8)? The only record I can find is a large print edition.

I have the large print edition from the Internet archive. https://archive.org/details/justembs0...



Looks like it qualifies for 30.1 for Turks and Caicos. I can always skip the combos.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I don't find any other editions.

[Mary]

Thanks for the help. I will keep looking for a book from Turks and Caicos

Is there a way to combine The Doctor of Hiroshima: His heart-breaking and inspiring true life story and The Doctor of Hiroshima, and which is the correct title ?

I have combined them. The MPE is Hiroshima Diary: The Journal of a Japanese Physician, August 6-September 30, 1945

Thanks! Although, since that is a completely different title I have to go look at HDYGG? again!
(My sister has recommended this, and since this is the first time she had done so, I am definitely reading it)

Just checking on the pagination for this book I have it slated as my last HDYGG read and don’t want it to be disqualified on page count. (All of the paper editions on Goodreads have zero pages listed).

The book: Women Workers And Technological Change In Europe In The Nineteenth And twentieth century by Gertjan de Groot

Worldcat and Amazon list the hardcover as over 200 pages

https://www.amazon.com/Workers-Techno... (214 pages)

https://search.worldcat.org/title/318... (206 pages)

I have the free kindle version which also seems to be over 200 pages.

Sorry. I posted more than appears above. LOL

I combined the editions.

I figured there was a glitch in the post so I double checked and saw the combined editions. If this is a topic you are interested in, I have enjoyed the book so far. A bit academic but good.

[Ed]

I found a book on my shelves (no memory how I acquired it) that I can't find on GR. There is no ISBN number. It appears to be self-published. City of Friends by Eddy Allen. It IS copyrighted 1991.
No publisher name or other information. I'd like to catalog the book on GR as one of My Books before putting back on the shelf. Any idea how I can do that?

[Owlette]

I don't know why GR lists the "Daughters of St. Paul" as the author instead of the specific author name (and illustrator) of this graphic novel that is the most recent one in a series. (All the previous volumes appear to list the author name.) Saint Bernadette of Lourdes: The Girl Who Saw Mary by Daughters of St. Paul

I have the library book. The library catalog, Google Books, Amazon, and the French version all list the author (and illustrator) as AHN Jin-a or Jin-a Ahn. The book also says translated by Unsang Hwang.
Here's the link to French version on GR: Sainte Bernadette de Lourdes by Ahn Jin-a
I could not find anything else about the author, so I guess it won't work for non-western (Korean) style points. Thanks.

[Rosemary]

I don't think you would get style points for a graphic novel anyway, so maybe it makes no difference? Although it would be good if the GR entry was accurate.

[Owlette]

Rosemary wrote: "I don't think you would get style points for a graphic novel anyway, so maybe it makes no difference? Although it would be good if the GR entry was accurate."

I was going to use it for 20.6, but I posted this question mainly because I felt the author-artist should be credited for her work rather than the organization.

[Rosemary]

Yes, I have changed the author name. It will take a few minutes to update.

[Owlette]

I see the change. Thanks, Rosemary. I don’t know anything about Manga novels, but the drawings look like they required much labor and time. Glad to see the artist credited.
