valashain - 2014-08-16 8:45 PM illegible_scribble, you're listing a number of books that won't be out for a bit. We could add some of them but for many the cover art, synopsis, excerpts and/or links to amazon en audible would be missing. It is a bit of a pain to have to go back over them again once the info becomes available so we'd prefer to add them closer to the publication date. I added the Gladstone and the Wexler. May have time to do a few more this afternoon.

Ah, gotcha. I'll try to limit my future requests to books already released. From my previous couple of posts, the Hamilton, Leckie, Torgersen, and Carriger are not out yet, but the rest of them are.

Reading this year's Retro Hugo noms and Carson of Venus (1939) by Edgar Rice Burroughs seems to be missing. My review is done and ready to be posted.

Location: UK		The Venus books seem to clashing with another series. We might need to rename one of them.

I changed the Pamela Sargent books to "Venus Trilogy" so they're separated now.  Good catch!

I have updated Poul Anderson's series to "Avalon (Technic Civilization)":  torn asunder.  Thanks for the heads up!  I wonder how many more of these conflicts there are in our database?

Location: The Netherlands		I put up a few Rich Horton anthologies. Note that he has two works out called Space Opera. One from 2007 and one form 2014. They are by the same publisher but have a very different table of content.

Could you please add The Archer Who Shot Down Suns-Scale Bright Stories by Benjanun Sriduankaew? Scale Bright, her newest book in the series, will be published soon and is already in the database. The Archer has three shorter stories from the same world and is available for free through Smashwords. This author and the books can count for challenges in the POC and LGBT themes. Thanks!

How interesting, it doesn't appear that the contents of the 2014 verson duplicates any of the 2007 version. I couldn't find the 2007 Contents anywhere, where did you locate that? (well done!)

When that happens, you can click "Edit" on the duplicate entries to delete the content to avoid confusion.

I usually just replace it with (duplicated deleted).
