Bea I added my version of Jane Eyre because I could not find one in the 1112 editions which matched it. I got the message that it was added correctly but I cannot find it. Help!

Published 1968 by Lancet Books, Magnum Easy Eye version. No ISBN. Cover shows a woman, man and girl. 639 pages.

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 1114 comments I'm not seeing it either. I sorted the versions by published date, but there were only 3 published in 1968, and none of them match your version. I'd try adding it again... Wait a second....

When you add a new edition of a book, for some reason, it doesn't automatically combine the new edition with all the old editions, so yours was just floating around in goodreads space. I combined it, and now here it is: Jane Eyre

Bea THANK YOU, SARA!!!!

I thought for sure it had disappeared! I tried waiting 24h but, when I could not find it by the publication date, I reached out to this list. Thank you!

Bea A search for The Menorah Men brings up A Long Way to Shiloh also. Are these the same book under different titles?


message 263: by Bea (new)

Bea I just added another copy of The Menorah Men with the cover below. Can you combine it with the other editions? I suspect it is floating in the nether space of GR.

My copy does not have an ISBN but its Library of Congress Catalog Card Number is 66-21717.

message 275: by mstan (new)

mstan | 868 comments Hi Anne, I have corrected both, but for The Yearling, I corrected the year it was first published to 1938 instead of 1939 - a few sources seem to point towards it being published then, and then receiving the Pulitzer in 1939. Do correct me if I am wrong.


message 276: by Anne (Booklady) (new)

Anne  (Booklady) Molinarolo (wwwgoodreadscomAnneMolinarolo) | 754 comments Thank you mstan.

You are right! The Yearling was 1st published in 1938. I found the published date in the Index of Cross Creek. It did win the
Pulitzer in 1939 because of its late publishing date in 1938! Sorry about that...

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 1114 comments I've updated it, but I just wanted to make sure you've checked that your copy has 528 pages? That would include all pages in the back (author info, book club questions, etc.) except for advertising. I only ask because websites like B&N and Amazon tend NOT to have accurate page counts.

(I updated it regardless... and it looks like it was 336 before, which is also divisible by 4.)

Yeah, paging is sometimes hard to calculate, but the last page of printing was the end of the story and it was numbered 324. My library also has it cataloged at 324. (I borrowed it from them.)

Anyway, thanks.

Bea I have an audio book of The Girl Who Played With Fire with ISBN 9781415964385 from my library. The information below was copied from the library site.

Could someone add this book? GR does not have this ISBN listed.

The Girl Who Played with Fire
Millennium Trilogy, Book 2
Edition: Unabridged
Series: Millennium Trilogy
by Stieg Larsson
Simon Vance

Publisher: Books on Tape
Awards: Best Audio Books

File size: 267120 KB
Number of parts: 15
Duration: 18 hours, 35 minutes
ISBN: 9781415964385
Release date: Jul 28, 2009




Description
The electrifying follow-up to the phenomenal best seller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ("An intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller" –The Washington Post), and this time it is Lisbeth Salander, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker, who is the focus and fierce heart of the story.

Mikael Blomkvist—crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium—has decided to publish a story exposing an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.

On the eve of publication, the two reporters responsible for the story are brutally murdered. But perhaps more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander.

Now, as Blomkvist—alone in his belief in her innocence—plunges into his own investigation of the slayings, Salander is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.

message 298: by Bea (last edited Dec 24, 2011 05:27AM) (new)

Bea ISBN 0812908279 is lacking a description. This is from the book cover:

"Millions of people have delighted in Herbert Tarr's seriocomic bestsellers, Heaven Help Us! and The Conversion of Chaplin Cohen , cited by The New York Times Book Review as among the best of their respective years. Rejoice anew, with Herbert Tarr's wonderfully funny and deeply affecting new novel, So Help Me God! .

It is the height of the Vietnam War. Draft-dodging has become America's number one vocation, with some 15 million scrambing for deferments, pyschiatrists, Canada, obscene tatoos, anything to escape the Army or jail. Ironically while the devout Levi Simon submits to Selective Service, his wayward goy friend Andrew Baron flees to a rabbinical school. Andrew has a problem. He is after all, a Gentile, the wrong half of him being Jewish. Andrew's absentee father is a Jew - descended from the first Jewish High Priest, no less - but of course Judaism regards only the child of a Jewish mother as a Jew.

The draft aside, the two friends respond as one to the beautiful Isaca Zion, who is herself studying to be a rabbi. Andrew and Levi fall in love with her- and she with each of them. But then, Isaca is forced to choose between a fiancé and the rabbinate.

Andrew's imposture is lit with comedy (his first freshman assignment is to conduct High Holy Day services, though he barely knows the difference between a bagel and a Twinkie) and very real danger. One mistake means loss of his draft deferment and Canadian exile. And when, in an attempt to redeem himself, Andrew flies to the aid of Soviet Jewry, his illegal activity in Russia propels him toward the prison term that he's been evading. Meantime, Levi fares even worse. He, who vowed never to shed a drop of blood, is shipped to Vietnam and ends up in battle.

Searching, touching. brimming with humor, this important work is an exquisite blend of the timely and timeless. Andrew Baron's venture into alien cultures - those of the philosopher rabbi, the rebel priest, and the refuseniks - gradually changes his perceptions and transforms his life. It may very well alter yours, too."

Bea ISBN 0670813818 is also lacking a description. This is from the book cover:

"John Weisman's novel is taut with foreboding and suspense, laced with gritty realism about the darker side of today's Israel. He expertly dissects the psychological complexity in relationships between Israelis and American Jews. This is a 'page-turner' that hews almost too eerily for comfort to recent history." - Samuel W. Lewis, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel (1977-1985)

"As Jerusalem bureau chief for World Week magazine, Jared Paul Gordon has found in Israel a touchstone for his own identity as a Jew. The place, so soaked in history and the yearning of the ages, so different from the Los Angeles of his assimilated upbringing, has worked its magic on him. He's at home there. And he's fallen in love with Adrian Cooper, daughter of a wealthy American banker with close ties to the Israeli government.

Then, before dawn one morning in the fall of 1982, he receives an invitation from an old friend and source in the military to go on a secret mission across Israel's border into Syria. The shocking execution that he witnesses there, his need to deal with it as news, and how it affects his integrity and his future as a journalist brings Jared face-to-face with Israel's essential conflict between ends and means. Called on the carpet by his superiors in New York for a story he can't verify, suspecting Adrian of betraying him, Jared begins a desperate search for the truth about Adrian's past, and her father's, and most of all about Jewish terror and the Israeli government's relationship to it.

Against the tense background of terrorism and political betrayal, John Weisman poses daring and provocative questions about different kinds of support for and belief in Israel. Blood Cries is an extraordinary novel about how love - for a woman and for a country - can be tested and survive."
