However, the moment I read my first email from The Tournament of Books, I knew why these two books had been assigned together. Yes, viva la différence and all that, but more important: These are both significant novels written by authors of consequence. One hopes, of course, that that applies to many, if not most, of the ToB list. However, the one thing that critics and readers seem to agree on about Hollinghurst and Obreht is that their work is not just attention-worthy, but grapple-worthy. As different as these two novels are, neither is lazy. Both demand active reading.

What if a microchip could identify your perfect match? What if it could be used against you and the ones you love?Eight years ago, Mercer Corporationâs M-Bands became mandatory. An evolution of the smartphone, the bracelets promised an easier life. Instead, they have come to control it.Two years ago, Maggie Stevens watched helplessly as one of the people she loves most was taken from her, shattering her world as she knew it. Now, Maggie is ready. And Quentin Mercer â" heir to the M-Corp empire â" has become key to Maggieâs plan. But as the pieces of her dangerous design fall into place, could Quentinâs involvement destroy everything sheâs fought for? In a world full of broken promises, the ones Maggie must keep could be the most heartbreaking.
As an aside, Ace Doubles tend to be more complicated than regular omnibuses since in many cases Wollheim had to cut the original text, sometimes substantially, to make two novels fit into one book, yet he still advertised the cut versions as "complete and unabridged". That's a whole different can of worms, though, and we probably don't want to go there at this point. As long as we stay away from these complications, we can discuss the way we record all Omnibus reviews; Ace Doubles will be just a subclass. Does this make sense? Ahasuerus 20:53, 23 Feb 2008 (CST)
In this discussion on the community portal, BLongley pointed out that listing audio books simpl;y as "audio" in the binding field is to lose possibly significant format information. I therefore propose that our standared ought to be "audio (format)" in the binding field for auudio books, with available choices being "Audio (cas)", "Audio (CD)", "Audio (DVD)", and "Audio (ebook)". Other choices can be added as they arise. "Audio" without a format listed should be coirrected whenever possible, and should not be entered for new records unless there is a note explaining that the format is not known. What do you think? -DES Talk 06:56, 1 Mar 2008 (CST)
(Unindent) I'm a bit worried about the proposed DELETION of letters, when I've already seen quite a lot of effort to get them included in certain circumstances. I propose a more "live and let live" policy - if somebody wants to add letters, let them, so long as they keep to the usual regularization rules for title and do the pseudonym set-ups. If people want to encourage entry of such for certain types of publication, that's fine too, but every editor should be able to say when that's more than they want to deal with, and the people wanting such entries can go do it themselves. The magazine editors seem quite happy to go into more detail than I would on a magazine, and if me just doing the SF contents doesn't help then they can ask me to leave them alone so they don't get confused by my verifications, or just accept that a verification by me doesn't mean the same as a verification by one of them and more work is required to bring it up to their standards. Similarly, I'm not asking people to find coverart images for books they've verified, or for details of every other price noted on it. I may ASK if the cover I found is right, or ask if the price is the main one or just the additional one added for their country, but there's no requirement to go do this additional work or even answer. But the more we add to the "desired data" list, the more relaxed I think we have to be about whether it's actually required before it's an acceptable entry or not: and when we start talking about DELETING data just because not everybody wants it in the pubs they're interested in, we really ARE going to start putting editors off.

Are these in the purview of this project, and if so how do they fit into the database schema? Should they be called books, if they are ebooks or audiobooks? Is Metatropolis simply an anthology? I don't think it's appropriate to call Tor.com a magazine, but neither are they an ephemeral publisher. (I tried to find some reference to standards on web publications in general but if they're here I've failed to find them).Netmouse 21:21, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
CHAPTERBOOK. This is used for anything smaller or flimsier than a standard paperback. These are often, but not always, saddle-stapled; publications from conventions are frequently in this format. This format is also used for separate publications of a single work of short fiction, even if bound as a standard paperback or hardcover. It is also used for an ebook or audio edition of a single work of short fiction. 2ff7e9595c
