Thread Name: ModernLib Enhancements? From: Ron Holl <modlib@removed> Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 15:32:05 -0400 Scot, Could we add to the author and/or title pages first edition notes? Like the binding, proper dust jacket, etc. For example, I think we need to have the full band on the type 'l' jacket indicated as the first jacket for the Michelangelo somewhere. And where better than the author/title page? Even better, how about total time in print for each title, and then also include the time in print for each jacket. This may take some research by the community, but it would fill out the ML facts. Any comments from others? ------------------------------------- From: Scot Kamins <kamins@removed> Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 18:23:40 -0700 OK - so what you're actually asking for are the first edition points plus in-print dates for each title. I would LOVE to have this info on the Author pages. It would go great with the Book Notes material (accessible by clicking the little info icon). That's where newly discovered first edition info and general corrections to the Guide now go (as well as on the Guide update page). But there's a problem: Currently the only nearly complete source of this information is Henry's Guide. I fear that putting the info on line might hurt sales of Henry's Guide. So I really don't want to do that while the Guide is still in print. I have no qualms about doing it after all new copies of the Guide have been sold (in other words, after Henry stops getting a return on all the hard research he did compiling the original material). -------------------------------------
