Question about book title

[Len]

I have a question about the title of some books that I've encountered.

Like Falcon and the Sword 24-C Floor Display. What does 24-C Floor Display means?

[Lobstergirl]

24-copy; it's not actually a book, but a display. I've not-a-booked it.

[Len]

When you say display, what does it mean? Is it a display copy for bookstores?

[Lobstergirl]

I'm not a bookseller but I think it's a cardboard container that can hold 24 copies of the book. Whether it's just the container or also includes the copies, I couldn't say. The point is, it's not one book.

To me this looks like a counter display.


You can probably picture a floor display. It would rest on the floor and be taller.

Oh..okay. Thanks!

So everything having a "display" in the title is actually a NAB? They also have ISBNs so I was wondering what to do with them...

Well, not everything; I'm sure there are at least a few books that actually do have "Display" as part of their titles. ;) But yes, the ones you linked to are definitely NABs. (I NAB'd 'em.)
