Well, Suz, I don't see why we'd remove the book. It just becomes an old edition, the same as any other superseded book.

It's up to the author to make the current edition the default, that's not something librarians can change.

Carolyn | 9840 comments Could one of our lovely librarians please do some pruning on this title please: The Resistance Man: Bruno is dogged by the past as he solves a thrilling modern murder

It's only this Quercus kindle edition (that I have) that has this particular superfluous wording but a couple of the others could also do with a little trim:
The Resistance Man: A Mystery of the French Countryside
The Resistance Man: The Dordogne Mysteries 6

Many thanks 😊

Some Turkish librarian changed it from 2010 to 1946 with no info as to why. Whatever he'd say wouldn't cut it. Definitely 2010.

All fixed Carolyn :) And you need to be a librarian to edit books, so perhaps you should sit the test ;) I'm sure you'd pass with flying colours.

1) The first one is a valid book. Cleaned it up & added the cover, its on Trove & Worldcat. Trove & Worldcat have it as an ebook. Then .... cue dramatic music .... Amazon & Abebooks (they use amazon as a source) says paperback. Hembury says nothing.

2) Done.

And combined lots of books from both authors & added a couple of covers to other books.

The Museum of Failure:
So unless you have access to the book, I've no idea whether both editions are ebook/kindles or one of them, no idea which, is a paperback.

This from Trove: ISBN 9781763583641 :, 9781763583658 1 online resource. 1 volume. meaning one ebook one paperback. but no idea which.

The other Trove resource says 9781763583658 1 online resource.

So I went with that one.

Its just a matter of keeping your eyes open Carolyn, looking at lots of threads and seeing what other librarians are doing.

I have never heard of this title & it's not on her website. I also found another title for her at NLA, "Changing Channels" https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/.... Perhaps they've been re-written & re-named since 2004/6, & she has distanced herself. Equilibrium Books seems to be a POD service for AusLit. Maybe you can discover.

Added a new edition (couldn't add the isbns, damn you GR) then combined with Home Among the Vines by Tricia Stringer

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Changing Channels was already in the database under TS and already combined with A Chance Of Stormy Weather (Wood Dell Book 1) by Tricia Stringer

Fixed all those problems, also added the #3 book The Great Escapes. Couldn't use the cover from the author site, but changed both the hardcover & paperback from Abebooks instead.
