[edit] GA Pass

I made a few minor emendations to the text of this article and have passed it as I believe it more than fulfills all the requirements of WP:WIAGA. One minor note - Footnote 58 needs to be corrected. That's all I have! Chubbles 03:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC

[edit] Various and sundry

If anyone can find the ISBN for Sarah Trimmer of Brentford and Her Children, please add it to the bibliography. As far as I can tell, there are five copies of this book in the world and they are all in Britain. I am in the US and I can find no electronic record of the ISBN. Thanks.

I've asked User:Keesiewonder for help here. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem active at the moment, but if anyone has the skills for this, it will be Keesie. qp10qp 23:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

That would be great. What I actually meant to say in my posting was that I think there are only five copies in the world in libraries (and those are all in Britain). I'm sure that there are private copies, but unless one of those private owners comes forward to tell me about it, those copies don't really help me all that much. I would actually like to read the book, but so far interlibrary loan has been a bust on this one. I guess with only five copies, no one wants to give it up and send it across the ocean.

Worldcat searches do not yield an ISBN, even after following up the Worldcat information, which shows the book in the holdings of the British Library and Cambridge University. These libraries would show an ISBN in their catalog if one existed. It is possible that the copies of the book do not carry an ISBN printed on them. It might be best just to identify the book using its OCLC number, which is 24722374. A suitable way to do this is with {{OCLC|24722374}}, which will create a clickable link to the book details in Worldcat. An earlier book (1972) about Sarah Trimmer by the same author, Doris Yarde, is listed for sale on amazon.co.uk. EdJohnston 03:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I will use the OCLC number for now, thank you. I have already read the other Yarde book. As you can see, it is already in the bibliography. Awadewit ^Talk 04:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed her 1990 publication doesn't seem to have an ISBN. It's available directly from the Hounslow Library.[1] Lupo 10:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Excellent! At least I can spend a fortune having it shipped to me now! Thank you! I wonder why that site didn't come up on any of my searches? Hmmm. Awadewit ^Talk 11:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

A "+" sometimes works wonders. It's the fourth hit when googling for +yarde +trimmer +isbn. On the ISBN for the 1972/1971 publication, see also [2], or [3], or [4] (the last one being from Oxford). I consider that evidence enough that it is 0-903254-00-X, even if it may be missing from the copy you own. Cheers. Lupo 11:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I don't own it. I briefly had it in my possession for about two weeks. The wonders of interlibrary loan. Awadewit ^Talk 11:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
