No that number is incorrect Bette, as Michael says, they are generally 13 long, but they also have a 10 number. Only 10 or 13:)

Yes, I know how long they should be but that is the only number it has. What is the 'X' for??? What happens now? It does not have an ISBN on the back cover: the Library has stuck a big fat sticker over it:( I checked the publisher's website and they do not have this edition listed; i.e. large pint.

I'll scan a copy of the page so you know I have not gone completely loco down here in W'bool. Otherwise do you want to delete the book since it contains incorrect information?

[B the BookAddict]

[B the BookAddict]

Sorry for quality of pic; I'm running out of toner plus the book is really heavy.

By the way, I have checked my Library's record for this book and they also use the 'X' at the end of the ISBN.

I've also checked eBay, Book Depository and Abe Books. The copies which match this one all have the 'X' as well. I'm starting to feel a tad irritated by this problem:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'll check it out later today Bette, I'm on my phone now. Don't worry it'll be fine :)

[B the BookAddict]

Thank you:)

[B the BookAddict]

Yippee!! I found it. ISBN is 9780745177007

Can you please add it for me and combine editions?

I am so relieved, this was really bugging me:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Your ISBN was already in the system Bette, so I just stated it was an alternative edition with the same ISBN and combined them all:)

Six Wives of Henry the VIII

When I am adding a book I always search for the ISBN first as quite often it's already in the system but not showing under the title search. That way you avoid doubling up with the same edition.

All fixed now:)

Yes, I normally do that but having on the 'X', that search function did not work for me this time. When I found the '7', I was so relieved that I forgot to go back in and do the search this time. Thanks for combining them for me. :)

Someone has done it for you Dale... The Poetry of Home by Cameron Semmens

[Dale]

Thanks whoever the kind person was.

[Dale]

Hi Lovely librarians. Can someone please add the cover of from head to Toe. published by Acorn Press ISBN 9780987428691? The cover is up on my write and read with Dale blog
http://www.livejournal.com/users/oran...
Thanks

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hi Dale the cover is there already...

[Dale]

Okay. Wonder how that happened. Thanks Brenda. Have put my review of it up.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Someone much quicker than me I think! Instant! :)

Dale wrote: "Okay. Wonder how that happened. Thanks Brenda. Have put my review of it up."

Hi Dale - I'm not surprised you couldn't find it and I wouldn't necessarily assume someone had put it up. I have entered some books manually, with the intention of placing a review later, and have found they are not appearing in ordinary searches at all. But if I go to "My Books", they're there all right. This is now starting to happen with books I've reviewed. They can be found in "My Books" but not via an ordinary search.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's usually best to search with ISBN. You'll never NOT be able to find them then..but if you put the author there you should be able to find the book.

Thanks for the advice, Brenda.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You're welcome Anne:) Let me know if you have further trouble.

[Kathryn]

I've just added this edition of Far Horizon. Would somebody be able to combine the editions, please?

Thank you :-)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Done Kathryn:)

[Kathryn]

Wonderful - thanks, Brenda!

Never thought of that, thanks Brenda.

[Kathryn]

OK, I know this is being a bit picky, and I'm not sure how easy it will be to fix, but I was just looking at the details for Birds of a Feather and it bugged me when I realised the publication date was 205. Then when I was looking at the other editions (https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...), they all seemed to be the same - looks like the first entry was wrong and all the subsequent entries have used the same info without correction!

Can anyone fix this simply? Or is it too tedious to go into each entry to correct them? No worries if so.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Fixing Kathryn.....

By correcting one date, it corrects them all:)

Thanks, Brenda!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No worries Michael..will do shortly :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Done Michael:) The Turning Tide by C.M. Lance

I found some discrepancies with also a Kate Lance and a Catherine Lance, and I think they are all the same person, so I've put a note in the Librarian thread to see if someone can check and combine them:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Done Michael:)



I added it to the bookshelf too:)

[Kathryn]

I'm being picky again, but I just noticed that for some reason, these editions of The House of Memories (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) and The Poisonwood Bible (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...) have their titles out of order, with "The" at the end and it's bugging me!! Is this easily fixable?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I agree Kathryn, it annoys me as well. But some librarians do that as a matter of course. Depends what you're taught I guess. I'll change it for you when I go online :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

All fixed:) Let me know if you find any others Kathryn:)

[Kathryn]

You're a legend, Brenda! Thanks :-)

And aren't the things that annoy us strange?! I didn't even notice it when I was reading The PB until I'd finished, but then when I noticed it once with The HoM, every time I looked at the title, it grated!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just found one too, look at the Amazon daily deal, and I changed it:) It is odd, but that's human nature I guess;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

There you go:)

[Veronica ⭐️]

Hi Brenda, could you please add this book for me when you have time

Question for you clever moderators.. Can't find Bryce Courtenay's book which is due for release 22 October, Penguin Books Australia entitled 'The Silver Moon'. Am I just too early? Not sure how this sort of thing works. Thank you ;)

[Suz]

Looks like I should be adding links..

[Suz]

http://www.penguin.com.au/products/97...

[Kathryn]

It's here, Suzanne - The Silver Moon: Reflections on Life, Death and Writing by Bryce Courtenay. I just typed in the ISBN to the "add book" box and it came up...

[Kathryn]

Although it isn't the same ISBN on the link that you gave as the one that I used - so different editions, I guess?? I found the book on Bryce Courtenay's page and copied and pasted that ISBN...

[Suz]

Oh! So next time I need to look properly!!I forgot about ISBN. Easy one, that's good. Thanks Kathryn :)

[Kathryn]

No worries! But like I say - the ISBN of the book you linked to isn't in the system yet, so that wouldn't actually have worked for you at the moment anyway! But still a good trick to keep in mind!
