Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments WorldCat's entry for this book, as well as other listings and a copy I have in hand all show only 20 stories. The Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction on GR site shows 44 "authors" and 58 stories, some of which I have identified as (correctly) coming from this volume and some (incorrectly) coming from The Second Black Lizard Anthology of Crime Fiction. I have not checked all of the stories yet.

This listing looks like it might have originally been for a boxset containing both of these volumes, but the ISBN belongs to only the first volume.

There are 155 shelvings, 76 ratings, and 4 reviews.

How should the data best be corrected with this considerable number of shelvings?

Amara Tanith (aftanith) The details should be changed to match what's correct for the ISBN.

So I shouldn't be concerned about the shelvings, ratings, and reviews?

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I think in this case - where the ISBN in question solely belongs to one volume and the listing has incorrect data based off both editions - it's safe to match what's correct for the ISBN and not worry about people's reviews.

Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments OK, fixed.

I included a link to the "second volume" (actually second member of the series) at the end of the description for those who had already added it and are wondering what happened.
