The main purpose of this page is to track the books whose data I have entered into the The Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB). As a side-effect, the title listing also provides useful deep-links into the ISFDB records.

Note: I keep notes about my activities as an editor of the ISFDB on a separate page.

Dreamsnake	Vonda N. McIntyre	The price tag of the 2nd hand bookshop I bought this book from was glued over the price information printed on the back cover. When I tried to remove the price tag, the British price information was torn away together with the tag. The price 95p was still discernible, though, when I looked at the shreds of the price tag.

Dark Universe	Daniel F. Galouye
The Web Between the Worlds	Charles Sheffield
Cold As Ice	Charles Sheffield
The Winds of Altair	Ben Bova	Cover artist is not credited but a signature exists and the artist is recognizable, both from the signature and from the artistic style (it's Boris Vallejo). This book is also special because the novel has been rewritten from an earlier version that appeared as a juvenile.
Time and Again	Jack Finney
Brave New World	Aldous Huxley
Nineteen Eighty-Four	George Orwell
The Day of the Triffids	John Wyndham
The Valley of Spiders	H. G. Wells	Collection. Example where the story name in the TOC ("The Inexperienced Ghost") is different from the heading on the page where the story actually begins ("The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost").

A Canticle For Leibowitz	Walter M. Miller, Jr.
Dark Benediction	Walter M. Miller, Jr.	Example where the author name appears with slightly different punctuation in the publication ("Walter M. Miller Jr", i.e. no comma before, and no period after, "Jr"), but this is not recorded as a variant title because the ISFDB guidelines say that this should be regularized.
Illuminatus!	Robert Anton Wilson Robert Shea

I Am Legend	Richard Matheson	Trade paperback
The Shores of Space	Richard Matheson	Collection
The Rats	James Herbert
The Silence of the Lambs (reference to title record)	Thomas Harris	ISFDB only has a title record for this because it won the Stoker award, but the novel is considered non-genre and therefore no publications are recorded. This used to be my verified pub record.
The Eyes of Heisenberg	Frank Herbert
The Jesus Incident	Frank Herbert	My copy of the book is in bad shape and the cover is faded (probably by exposure to sunlight for a long period of time) - compared to the ISFDB cover scan this is not an art variation.
Dune	Frank Herbert	Hardcover. Part of a numbered publication series (Gollancz SF Masterworks #71)
The Road to Science Fiction: Volume 1: From Gilgamesh to Wells	James Gunn	Anthology. Trade paperback. Publication is undated, but has ISBN-13, so it's probably not a 1st printing. Example for an anthology with entries that are excerpts from larger texts. SFRevu review.

Dragonflight	Anne McCaffrey
Dragonquest	Anne McCaffrey	Contains the appendix "Dragondex" which is credited on the copyright page. Subsequent publications of the same title, and also publications of other titles in the Pern series, contain a different version of the "Dragondex". All these publications contain the same credit line on the copyright page, which might create the impression that it's always the same "Dragondex" title, but in fact the "Dragondex" has been growing over the years, and publications just reproduce a snapshot of how the "Dragondex" looked at the time of publication. It is totally unclear which versions have been published, and therefore it is also unclear how the ISFDB should keep track of different "Dragondex" title records. Of the following different solutions that I see, I personally prefer solution 2. 1) Do not keep any title records at all, just mention the "Dragondex" in publication records where it appears. 2) Keep a single title record, with notes on the difficulties of keeping track of a serious publication history. Include that title record in publication records where the "Dragondex" appear. 3) Create a different title record for every publication record that is known to contain the "Dragondex". 4) Create a different title record for every Pern title that is known to contain the "Dragondex" (equivalent to the scheme used for the Bob Porter map, see below). Also see the author page 58221.
The White Dragon	Anne McCaffrey	Contains a map credited to Bob Porter on the copyright page. This has similar problems as the "Dragondex" mentioned above, although one can hope that there are not that many versions of the map as there are of the "Dragondex", because the map is a drawn artwork that is probably not revised as much as the written "Dragondex". The ISFDB at the moment has different title records for the map for every title that it appears in (e.g. "Dragonquest (map)", "The White Dragon (map)", etc.). This is a good solution as long as all publications of the same Pern title use the same version of the map. The solution breaks down, however, if a publisher decides to print an updated version of the map in newer publications of the same title.

Young Miles	Lois McMaster Bujold	Omnibus. Publisher Baen explicitly states the publication date of this fourth printing on the copyright page.
Watership Down	Richard Adams	Price is barely legible as "95p". Publication record notes have an alternative statement by Mhhutchins how the publication date is derived from the printing history on the copyrighth page.
Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast	Robin McKinley	No number line, printing and publication date is derived from the price information, as compared to what Locus states about the price of the first printing.
Legends: Volume 2	Robert Silverberg	Contains many interior art titles (frontispiece, maps, general interior art); also has a lot of credits besides any statements on the copyright page (special acknowledgements page, signatures on interior art)
Legends: Volume 3	Robert Silverberg	Ditto.

Something Wicked This Way Comes	Ray Bradbury
The Small Assassin	Ray Bradbury	Panther book, first printing (i.e. no reprint statements)
The October Country: Grafton edition and Earthlight edition	Ray Bradbury	The Earthlight edition is nicer (it has a foreword and interior art) and includes all of the stories in the Grafton edition, except for "The Traveler". The 2nd hand bookshop where I bought the Earthlight edition has glued a tag over the price information and the cover artist credits printed on the back cover. Removing the tag was only a partial success, so that the British price £5.99 is now barely legible, but the cover artist is still obscured.

Lord of Light	Roger Zelazny	Trade paperback
The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles 1-10	Roger Zelazny	Omnibus. Trade paperback

The Dancers of Arun	Elizabeth A. Lynn	Trade paperback
The Northern Girl	Elizabeth A. Lynn	Trade paperback
Magician	Raymond E. Feist	The following list tries to enumerate and describe the different versions of maps that appear in the publications by Raymond E. Feist that I own. In all of the pubs there is not a single credit or signature that would allow attribution to an artist. The situation on ISFDB is difficult: Unfortunately I have decided to add title records for the maps to my pubs, but I could not bring myself to add a different title for each of the map versions I am enumerating here - it would have seemed a bit excessive. In hindsight, I should probably have mentioned the maps only in the pub notes, since now the ISFDB records a state that is not really accurate. To make things more difficult, other people did add title records for different map versions, but I am unable to match those title records to the maps I have in my publications. Clearing up the situation would require quite a bit of effort: Put up scans of the different map versions on my website and ask editors which version they have in their publications. So far I have dodged this duty... The map of Midkemia that appears in "Magician" is the same as in "The King's Buccaneer" (v1). A distinguishing feature is that it uses a fancy medieval-style font. Almost the same map (v2) appears in "Shadow of a Dark Queen", "Rise of a Merchant Prince" and "Shards of a Broken Crown"; it differs from v1 only by using a slightly different but still medieval-style font, and having location names placed slightly differently (example: "Vale of Dreams"). A third version (v3) of the map of Midkemia is in "Silverthorn": Its style is totally different from v1 and v2, e.g. it uses a plain font, and terrain features such as woods and mountains are drawn differently. The map of Kelewan that appears in "Magician" (v1) has the same style as the v1 map of Midkemia (e.g. fancy medieval-style font, terrain features are drawn the same). Another map of Kelewan (v2) with totally different style appears in Daughter of the Empire; this map resembles in style the v2 map of Midkemia. Slightly different versions of a map of Novindus appear in "The King's Buccaneer" (v1), "Shadow of a Dark Queen" (v2) and "Rise of a Merchant Prince" (v3). The all use the same fancy medieval-style font as the v1 map of Midkemia, and they are all largely the same. There are some differences, though: 1) The title of v1 looks as if it was misspelled "Novinous" because the letter that is supposed to be "d" looks like it's an "o". In contrast, the letters "d" and "o" in v2 and v3 are clearly different. 2) v1 is drawn with finer details, while v2 and v3 look rather crude, as if they had been drawn with too much ink. 3) v1 and v3 are printed with a white background, v2 is printed with a dark background. There are no maps in "A Darkness at Sethanon" and "Prince of the Blood"
