Dusty, the uber users were given the power to add books earlier in the week. We can add book records as long as the author and the publisher are already in WWE. Dave is coming behind us adding images. That's the reason that some are blank. So far we've added almost 200 books. We've added a lot from the lists and some from our own personal wish lists we are still organizing our efforts, making lists from this thread and then making lists of what we could not add and why. Dwl28, If you scroll down on the home page, you will see the icons of the recent additions. To the right, you will see a clickable "More". That will show you a scrollable page of new additions.


Sorry Rhonda, could you clarify what you mean by home page? I'm not seeing anything on the site that shows recent additions.

JS, go to the main site (the index page) and scroll down -- it's right above the advertisements.

Home page URL is here: https://www.worldswithoutend.com/index.asp

Would it be possible to add "The Twelve" by Justin Cronin? It's the sequel to "The Passage", which is already present in the database.

Location: SC, USA		Dave, could you please add these authors to the list of authors to add? Ben Loory, Elizabeth Kostova, and E. Nesbit (pen name of Edith Nesbit Bland). They are RYO authors. I want to swap out a few on my challenges. Thanks, Rhonda

I can't find The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett. I did find The Long War, which is listed as the second in the The Long Earth series and its description refers to The Long Earth, but The Long Earth isn't listed as the first book in the series and it doesn't show up in a general search. I'd add The Long Earth to my list and write a review of it if I could find it.

The Passage and The Long Earth have been added. Book covers aren't up yet but that should be coming along shortly.

Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		Please add This Perfect Day by Ira Levin. Two of Levin's well known books are here: Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives. This Perfect Day should be here too. If you add the book, I'll add a review.

Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		Please add Dragon's Egg by Robert L. Forward. Forward wrote a number of SF novels and a couple of SF series. Dragon's Egg is one of my favorite books. If you add Dragons Egg, I'll add a brief review.

Location: The Netherlands		I'm afraid Forward is not in the database yet. I'll add him to the list of authors to be added but until the administrators create an entry for him we can't add the book. Might be a bit before we get around to it.

Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		How about adding The Shadow War of the Night Dragons, Book One: The Dead City. Prologue by John Scalzi. It's only a short story, do you add those? It was nominated for Hugo in 2012.

Location: scotland		Have just returned from holiday and seen all the new additions. I have seen about twenty plus books so far that I have read and so can start adding reviews for these. Was most pleased to see all the new additions of James Herbert's books. There was just one of his before, now they are all there. I have read seventeen of them so have many reviews to contribute. Also two of the books I requested for the RYO have been added which is great as I have read them. Thanks. It's great to see so many people involved.

I'm glad you like the new additions to the site.  You have our Uber User crew to thank for those.  They've put in over 1,000 new books in the last 3 weeks!  It's great to see some author bibs filling out, isn't it?

Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		I am hearing an audiobook of I Am Legend and Other Stories by Richard Matheson. ISBN 9781433240188. I Am Legend is listed here but without the other stories. I see there are collections of short stories here. Can this book be listed as well as the one without the short stories?

Location: The Netherlands		And it's up. I haven't listed is as part of a series. It turns out to be a collection of material that also includes Hitchhiker stuff. Also, some editions have a slightly different content than the one I listed (which is the first UK edition).
