IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?

Re: Want an Author or Books added?
I will try to get to some this weekend - I'm only coughing up half a lung now, but I do have a birthday party on Sunday. Hopefully I'll get some time on Friday Night or Saturday Morning to get a list of about 20 authors for you!! Though I may skip putting on their websites, etc.

Re: Want an Author or Books added?
That's fine Rip, I can find their websites myself. I probably won't get to work on anything until late Sunday night anyway.
Re: Want an Author or Books added?
Simon Beckett needs added - at least two books.
Coach Clair Bee needs added - lots of children books.
Hilari Bell needs added.
Alex Berenson needs his latest book added - at least.
Heidi Betts needs added - lots of anthologies.
Stephanie Bond needs lots of books added.
That might last you a day or two!

Hi Rip
Sorry I haven't gotten to any of these authors. I have computer problems and there is a probem adding books right now. Gollum is working on it.

Re: Want an Author or Books added?
That is cool - but you never really have to be sorry - I'm putting them out there as I find them, and you do not have to be the only one entering them. You do a fantastic job, and anytime you (or anybody else) can get to them should be fine!!Terry wrote:Hi Rip

Re: Want an Author or Books added?
Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one entering. Maybe it just seems that way.
Re: Want an Author or Books added?
I will begin entering some initial books for some of our newly added genres soon, possibly today.

Hey Darb
I would like you to try and enter a book and see if it errors you out. I know Gollum was going to work on it, but I think he might not have gotten to it yet.

Terry,
Stella Cameron needs a little work. I know of at least one book not in our DB (A Cold Day in Hell), which is 'A Bayou Book', and that series is not listed either. Last but not least at stellacameron.com under her booklist it appears that she has written under another name, and I couldn't find that connection in our DB.

Re: IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?
W.E.B. Griffin also needs some work. He has a few books missing AND his page on Wikipedia list him having about 10 pseudonyms, and we have one of them, so they really should be added.

Hi Guys
Sorry for not helping in the last week or so. My sister is sick (Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia) and I have been out of town with her. I will be back with her on the weekend. I will try to get back to work soon.

Re: IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?
Thank you guys for the well wishes.
I added:
Arthur Jensen & 7 books
Charles Murray & 6 books
Albert Bandura & 4 books
George A. Miller & 3 books
Certainly not all of their books by a long shot. Darb, you might want to check my genres on these guys.

Re: IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?
Thank you, Terry. I will go and admire your handiwork.
In general, for most of those authors, either genre 106 and/or 107 are primary, and sometimes self-help may apply as secondary or tertiary, or other. As usual, let the blurb dictate what's entered.

Re: IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?
Ok Rip. I worked on Greg Rucka, but all those comic books confuse me. Collections and series and a lot of them have the same name. Maybe that member who is a comic book specialist (can't remember his name) could finish Rucka off for us. I'm confused and brain dead. I'm moving on to another author.

Re: IBDoF: Want an Author or Books added?
I havent looked to see what's involved here, but Database policy is to NOT enter individual comic books because they are magazines, not books. The only exception are omnibus graphic novels in which an entire series is collected and reprinted in a novel-like format
