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. List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines Pages that only exist as redirects: Men at Arms changes

This article lacks an infobox, {{Infobox Book}} which is part of the standard display of novel information developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books. You can help by copying the "source code" into the attached article, and filling in the information yourself, or by providing the following information here on the Talk page so that someone else can construct the box:
	~title of novel~ ~cover image of novel fair use~ ~image caption to give edition details~ ~author of novel~ ~country of publication~ ~language of original novel~ ~illustrator for novel~ ~cover artist name for novel~ ~novel genre~ ~publisher for novel~ ~dd month yyyy~ Print (~binding~) ~pagecount pp (~binding~ edition)~ ~ISBN ~999999999~ (~hardcover~ edition)~ ~prior book in series if relevant~ ~subsequent book in series if relevant~

  Nourse's title refers to people who deliver medical instruments to outlaw doctors who can't obtain them legally. [Source: Locus, September 1992 (p. 76)]

  (Note that the URL'd page, not Jerzy, cites Locus)

  (Bladerunner by Alan E. Nourse and Blade Runner: A Movie by William S. Burroughs)

  (Only non-WP-derived divergent account of Burroughs's title i've noticed.)

• Hit & Run posting by James(JDWill68) 8-sentence summary of Nourse novel; locate by searching "Nourse" within the page.
• Book Information: Bladerunner, A Movie Ref among those i've found that most strongly if implicitly purports to have access to the Burroughs work itself.

[edit] More information needed

This article is almost completely about the naming of the 1982 film. Where is the plot of the original novel? Please add this. In the meantime, I am in the process of writing the article Blade Runner, a movie after Burroughs novella (it isn't a screenplay). 23skidoo 00:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
