Nancy (decibelle5) | 76 comments Most of the fixes below have to do with the series title showing up on the book's page, but not on bookshelf lists or other pages.

1. The Third Lynx: The series title (Quadrail #2) shows up on the book's page, but not on bookshelf lists.

2. Odd Girl Out: Same issue, series title Quadrail #3

3. The Domino Pattern: Same issue, series title Quadrail #4

4. The Confession of Brother Haluin: Same issue, series title Chronicles of Brother Cadfael #15

5. A Rare Benedictine:
- Same issue, series title Chronicles of Brother Cadfael #21
- Add edition pub date: Sept 1991
- Add total page count: 150

6. The Hermit of Eyton Forest:
- Same issue, series title Chronicles of Brother Cadfael #14
- Change pub date: should be 1988, not 1987

7. Slanted Jack:
- Same issue, series title Jon & Lobo #2
- Add pub date: 2008

8. Shades of Milk and Honey: The series title is Glamourist Histories #1, according to the author's blog. (http://www.maryrobinettekowal.com/jou...) This applies to the series titles for all four books in the series: #2 Glamour in Glass, #3 Without a Summer, #4 Valour and Vanity. Book #2 has the same issue with the series title not showing up on bookshelf lists.

Thanks!

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I've added the series to the titles of the editions you linked, so they'll show the series in bookshelves now.

For the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael books, are you sure you're linking to the right editions? The publication dates showing for the editions linked are correct as far as I can determine.

Nancy (decibelle5) | 76 comments For Cadfael #21, Rare Benedictine, the original pub date listed (1988) is fine, but the edition pub date (Sept 1991) for the Mysterious Press paperback edition I linked is missing.

Cadfael #14, Hermit, was orignially published in 1988, not 1987. The Mysterious press edition that I linked to was published in Feb 1989, which is correct. Although, to further confuse things, it appears that there's a Mysterious Press paperback edition and a Mysterious Press mass market paperback edition...and I'm pretty sure they're actually the same thing?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This edition of The Hermit of Eyton Forest was published in 1987; I'm seeing a bunch of sources agreeing on that.


message 5: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (decibelle5) | 76 comments Huh, then it appears my edition is misprinted because the copyright page shows the original pub date as 1988. My apologies for any confusion.

I think the only thing left is the number of pages for A Rare Benedictine?


message 6: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Whoops, added the page numbers.

Krystal109 | 1086 comments A lot of times if the publication date is like December 30 1987, the publisher will just print it as 1988. They have a tendency to round up to the next month when the publication is in the high 20's. I don't know why, but they do.

Because of copyright law. The clock starts ticking based on copyright date.
