Hans (hansk) | 157 comments The page number of the SR paperback version of the book is 180.

ISBN is 0-8420-5033-7 / 0-8420-5032-9.

Information is taking from the copy I own and currently started reading:

Hi Hans

You couldn't know this but you are linking to one of the Crazy Bot editions that are now being added to Goodreads. Your edition is actually here with the correct page count.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

If you would like the cover cropped better please post a request in the Book Covers folder. AFAIK I am the only librarian trying to catch up on some of the missed requests in this folder - & I only go back to page 9. So I'm not going to do cover work any more.

In future I would recommend searching by ISBN when adding a book & bumping your request some time between 2 days- 2 weeks.

Edit: I think you are the only member who has added the bot edition. If you change to the edition I linked to, I can mark it as invalid.

Hans (hansk) | 157 comments Hi Carol,

First of all, thanks for catching up.

What is a 'Crazy Bot edition'? I honestly have no idea and am curious what this means.

My version however is by SR books with the details mentioned above and was not published by Rowman & ...

Ha, if you do a search you will find a few complaints! Amazon/Goodreads are now using some bots that weren't properly tested. The results have been...not good.

I am going out now but I will look when I come back.

In future if the title isn't displayed like a title on Goodreads usually looks, please post in this folder.

as the volunteer librarians that work in there are better with these issues.


Hans (hansk) | 157 comments Okay, thanks Carol.

I always add the details or books based on what I have in hand, so the actual physical book. :)

Carol She's So Novel ꧁꧂  | 866 comments I've looked it up & SR publishing is an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield.

World cat shows it as SR (which is an imprint of Rowman) so I've changed it to that publisher name. Can you please change to this edition so I can mark as invalid. Otherwise I'll have to get a Super to merge as I'm not able to merge a book that has been added that many times. The merge will essentially delete your copy, so it would be appreciated if you could change to the correct edition.
