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 Adam Bede 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.

Viz.: "Assumed" name? While I know the U.K. isn't exactly as reliable a source for Garth Nix information as Australia, then "Lady Friday" is given as the name of the 5th book in the back of our Sir Thursday. And bear in mind that the U.K. Drowned Wednesday had a Sir Thursday synopsis in the back that wasn't present in the Australian edition, either.

I would say that the title is definite. Each book so far has been named after the appropriate Day. As Friday is the immediate day after Thursday, and Friday is known to be called "Lady Friday" on [webpage] there is an almost 100% likelihood that the next book will be Lady Friday.12.17.189.77 04:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Cover out

http://www.allenandunwin.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?ISBN=9781741145892

As is standard with the other Keys to the Kingdom articles - it being an Australian series and all - I propose that the cover on this linked page be made the main cover picture for this article. The Scholastic cover should still be used as an illustrative picture farther down, though, like in other articles (and Sir Thursday used the U.K. cover as another cover example, so it's only fair to keep the American one for this page).

[edit] I've Bought This

I bought this book on January 27, 2007. Why does this article say that it doesn't come out until March? Mollymoon 22:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

...Because it's not out until then, and I'd be very surprised to find early copies floating around over a month before the official release date. Can you provide photographic evidence?

...I can write a short summary of it. Let me know if you want me to.Mollymoon 21:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I take it back, actually, as it looks very much like the US version has been released early, which is nice for England and Nix's native Australia - oh wait, no it isn't.

I'm in England and recieved my copy early... I think it was released all over early... Jacobshaven3 12:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it definitely looks like there was some kind of mess-up as regards to the release date; most sites I've seen still have the release date as March, but they've been letting people order it since February. I think they must have let them out early somewhere, and then given up on keeping them until March for everywhere else.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.42.66.227 (talk • contribs) 14:52, 5 March 2007.

Too true. I've been to about 7 or 8 bookshops and they've given me different dates. It seems they were available since February but there's been a great demand and limited access. I guess I'll just have to wait (sigh). Yuanchosaan^Salutations! 08:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
