I have the actual book in my hands. It has two empty sheets past the last numbered page of 277 and the back side of 277 is blank also.

World Cat says 277, so I've updated it.

Thank you, Vicky.

I am having problems accessing the title Zipper: an Exploration in Novelty by Robert Friedel. It does not come up under author or title, only by ISBN 0393035999.
Can it be fixed to come up on title and author, too?
Thanks.

I'm finding it just fine under the title (with isbn attached)

So either someone has already fixed it or the search was possibly off?

The search doesn't deal well with punctuation, try searching for the title without the colon and it should work. ;)
It came up just fine for me under the author. If you're still having problems, what is the exact phrase your searching for?

Vicky, the tip about the punctuation did the trick. The only explanation I have for the author search is that the librarian in me came out and I must have tried searching last name first. I don't remember doing it that way, but anything is possible I guess. Anyway, thanks for your explanation.


Here is a link to the audiobook I found -
And here is the link to the actual library page I used-

You can add the edition yourself. On the search page and on the editions page for the book is a link to add a new book/edition to the database.
Without librarian status you won't be able to combine the newly created edition with the others, so you'd need to post here or in the librarians group for that.
I'll create this one for you, so it'll already be combined and you don't need to post again for that.
Eta: It's done. Here is your new edition:

ISBN 9780739348444. Also, please combine it with the other editions as I have just created this ISBN edition on GR. Also, please correct the publisher to be Listening Library. OverDrive WMA Audiobook is the format.


"In response to his reappearance, Dumbledore reactivates the Order of the Phoenix, a secret society which works to defeat the Dark Lord's minions and protect his targets - expecially Harry Potter. But Harry doesn't want to be protected. Even as the Ministry of Magic denies his claims, The Daily Prophet discredits him, and even Dumbledore won't look him in the eye, Harry grows more and more determined to fight his lifeling enemy Voldemort - if only he had the "weapon" the Order is guarding. In the meantime, he visits his godfather at his ghoulish London home, Grimmauld Place, and learns more about Voldemort's deep reach into Wizarding history and the Wizarding world. Back at Hogwarts, Harry must deal with a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a surprising new member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team; the possibility of his first real romance; and the looming nightmare of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. He's haunted by dreams of a heavy door at the end of a silent corridor, and a vision of his father and the young Severus Snape that changes everything he thought he knew about them. Even the joy of working with "Dumbledore's Army". Soon Harry will discover the true depth and strength of his friends; their boundless loyalty and unbearable sacrifices. His fate depends on them all."
This is an ebook (Adobe EPUB) published by Pottermore, released 3/29/12. Also note that Mary Grandpré is the narrator. This book will need to be combined with other editions. (I think this partial creation was my fault. It happened when I was typing in the new edition.)


Two little things:
Isn't Mary GrandPré the illustrator of these books (as opposed to narrator)?
I could be wrong, but wasn't the pottermore shop "opened" on March 27?
While I'm at it, do you have a page number for this edition? Epubs usually have one.

Pages: The last page of the story is 646. However, there are 21 more numbered pages that include Also By, Cover (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince), Title page, Copyright, Pottermore.com, Dedication, Contents, Chapter 1, and The Pottermore Shop pages added to the end of the book.

Thanks, Isabell. I had edited my entry but you beat me to it. So I took care of the publisher change myself. Thanks, again.

Pages: The last page of the story ..."
I've assigned the role of illustrator to Mary GrandPré. I'll believe the library entry concerning the date (as I said I wasn't sure myself about it).
Also, I've added 646 as page number. The only pages I might consider to remove from the total would be the pottermore shop pages (in my uk edition those are only two, so I don't really bother to change the total from that shown; unless there are considerably more of those in your edition or you would like to have the total reduced by that number?)

Isabel, the total pages in the book are 667. The only thing past 646 that might be in the printed book is the Also By page which lists other books written by the author. Everything else is related to the next book (cover, title page, copyright, etc.)--- oh, maybe the Pottermore Shop page which tells where to get more books.

Thank you for the information on pages. That's always the most difficult field to fill in when you don't have a physical copy in front of you.

Thank you for the information on pages. That's al..."
Glad I could help since you helped a lot by getting this edition on GR! A dual effort!

Adding it yourself is much better because you have the edition at hand. On doing a quick search of the database I didn't find another edition of that work, so you wouldn't even have to ask for combination (new editions are not automatically combined with already existing ones, so you would have to ask a librarian for that).
If there is another edition that I didn't find in my quick search (It's early morning here, so I'm off to university in a few minutes and don't have the time for an extensive search), feel free to post here again and ask for combination.
Should you not feel comfortable with adding this book yourself I might get to it when I'm back from university later today, but once you get to know the form to add new books/editions it's really easy.

I have added the book. Thanks for the link.

Should you come across a missing edition, you can add that yourself to the database (see my message two above yours). For combination you'll have to ask here.

It shows the same cover as this one.

Thank you

When you add the book yourself please note that page numbers are only added to kindle editions when the file itself shows them.
Otherwise I might have some time later today to add your edition, but I have an exam on friday, so I can't promise anything before saturday.

I don't know how to upload the picture, so I'll wait for you. I'm not in that big of a hurry.
It did show the page numbers on Amazon.
Thanks

By the way, uploading the covers is no big deal. There is a field in the form where you create new editions. You simply have to select the file from your harddrive (just save it beforehand). Once you have selected the file, the picture is automatically uploaded during the creating process of the new edition.
And I left out the page numbers for now, because Amazon gives "page numbers" for almost all of its kindle books, but many are simply taken from a paper edition without showing page numbers in the file. I'll be glad to add the page numbers in if you could confirm that the page numbers also show up when you read the book itself, not just on the amazon-page of the book (for example I have a Kindle 3 and when I press menu some of those books show page x of xx besides the locations; that's usually my way of checking whether the kindle edition actually has page numbers or not).

I opened my Kindle copy and it just says
3450 locations. Does that mean I just verify
by posting a link to the Mass Market?
Thanks

That's how I do it when I have such a kindle edition.

Amazon also shows a kindle edition available (which is what I read) at this link -

Do you have other information than that from amazon? We are not supposed to draw information from them or any other retailer (libraries, world cat, publisher, author etc. would be great). Preferably would be that you have the book in question in front of you.
And by the way, the information found on amazon is not always correct (especially page numbers are often wrong on amazon).
I'll add the kindle edition (I usually make exceptions for kindle and audible editions from the rule above) and see if I cand find another, more reliable source for the pages.

The publisher, Wild Rose Press, Page Count: 342,
Word Count: 99816,
Print ISBN 1-60154-986-5

Thank you, I found that site as well (and linked to it from the editions page of the paperback).
I've added the additional information to the paperback and added the kindle edition.
Let me know if anything else needs fixing.
