Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] ISBN for Hardcover

According to Amazon.co.uk, ISBN for the hardcover is ISBN B0000CLQ13[1] (check out both the page and the advanced search page [2]. If you put that ISBN, ISBN B0000CLQ13, in the search box, the search result will be the correct book. On the other hand, I'm not sure if that is just some number Amazon.co.uk invented, so I'll leave it as a ? mark. BookFinder4U.com also returned the correct book if use ISBN B0000CLQ13 in the search field. On the other hand, AbeBooks.com says "The ISBN provided is not valid."

My belief is that it is a number made up by Amazon, might be someone else. It assuredly is not an ISBN (which "must" be made up of 0123456789 with the possibility of an X (which represents 10) as the last digit.) I may be that due to the age of the book the first edition dues not have an ISBN. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 14:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the response. I figured that might be the case.MikeBriggs 14:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I added the ISBN number for the 1975 hardcover edition. This is the first edition that were printed with the real name of the author, and not the pseudonym. I was unable to find any ISBN for the first edition as well. --Norwaystudent 11:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

ISBNs were first issued arround 1966 so this is unlikely to find. Thanks for the extra information. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
