Hi,

There appears to have been an understandable boo-boo on this record. For some reason Mr Preston has decided to turn out two (I think that's all!) entirely different books with the same title.

warships-of-the-world shows two editions, but they are entirely dissimilar works. ISBN 0710600208 (I have this volume to hand) is a reference work of 224 pages (not 192 as shown). ISBN 0861241029 (I have this volume to hand, too) is a narrative history of 399 pages. This is the limit of my certain knowledge.

warships-of-the-world shows two volumes that I don't have but assuming that the page count and publisher are both correct, ISBN 0867205806 should be an edition of ISBN 0710600208 and ISBN 0811905667 an edition of ISBN 0861241029 (V E Books has a detailed description 0811905667 of this - down to list of contents - that matches except for the publisher being Frederick Fell).

As an afterthought, I have a cover art scan of ISBN 0861241029 and can easily produce one for ISBN 0710600208. Is there any ready way to get these from my HDD to the system?

Kind regards

If you have scans available, the easiest way is to upload them to Goodreads using this method - go to edit profile, click "more photos" next to your profile picture, and then click "add more photos" at the top of the right hand column. Once you get them there and someone confirms that they have added them to the books you can delete them so they don't stay on your profile.

Thanks, I'll take a punt at that.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I think I got him all sorted - he has a lot of books with the same name that aren't the same book, so I've added a note to deter librarians from combining unless they double check.

Hi again,

Re: warships-of-the-world

The cover scan for ISBN 0861241029 is here
http://www.goodreads.com/photo/author.... I hope it's not too big; let me know if it is and I'll resize it.

I would have done the other but my scanner is having one of its periodic sulks.

Kind regards
