Not a Book / Delete?

[Caro]

I'm wanting to know if this is a book or not. From what I can tell (have read) this seems to be a computer game. I don't know if it's supposed to be NAB'd or deleted, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't a book. I haven't done any NABing so I'm not sure or exactly up-to-date on the policy. Whether to NAB or delete? Help me pretty pretty please?

Huh. That ISBN looks like it was shared between a game and this.

ETA: I forgot the link to the book on Goodreads. Here it is.

[vicki_girl]

I would NAB it.

Since it is a "duplicate" then, I would edit the details to match the book listed in Worldcat.

[Caro]

I put the reused isbn info on the book (The Love Thing) in a note and the description.

So is the Chill Manor/Action Learning a book? And do I need to update the info? Or something. I'm still a little confused.

[vicki_girl]

Since it appears to be a game, and no one has added it to their books, I just deleted it.

[Caro]

Thanks, just wanted to be sure. So I can put the ISBNs for the book in the isbns field?

[vicki_girl]

Yep.

[Caro]

K, thanks again. :)

spotted this, and assume it isn't a book - just wanted to be sure though :)

Yep. Magic-link NAB'd.

Hi Rivka,

Thanks! Found this as well

seems strange as there is a book by the same author called 'Must Love Dogs', bookselling websites have it with no cover/reviews, have come across this before where the book hasn't actually been published ??

Sincerely,
Karen

That does appear to be the case. NAB'd that one too.

Cheers :)

Hi again Rivka,
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45...
this seems similar? Perhaps I searched on worldcat incorrectly, didn't get any results - seems like a weird/incomplete title??

Just because something's not on WorldCat doesn't necessarily mean anything. Not clear whether it was released, but it may have been, in 1999. I edited what it probably should be titled.

Looks like the ISBN belongs to "This little piggy : and other counting rhymes"

Need an opinion: delete or not delete

And what about printed material that shows nothing but fonts with their names and so on?

Re: 19, it looks like a reference book to me.

#19 looks like a NAB to me. It's categorized as "electronic clip art." One reviewer on a sales site said it was in both True Type and Mac formats.

Re: 19

Dan X. Solo does a ton of these types of books for Dover Publications. They are books with CD-ROMS. The CD-ROM contains the clip art/fonts and the book works like an index.

There have been discussions on similar books of his before that have been kept on grounds of them being used as a reference book. They are just as much reference as a book of patterns, IMO.

Agree.

If you look at the combine page, multiple librarians have specified that works are reference works and thus should not be NABBED.
