Sources for future expansion

[edit]

As I noted at the AfD discussion, plenty of references from reliable third party sources from around the world are available: San Francisco Chronicle, January Magazine, Malaysia Star, Publisher's Weekly, SF Site, and more. The book itself is available for review at Google Books. - Dravecky (talk) 18:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we should. Thanks. --P64 (talk) 03:26, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removed a spoiler from far too early in the plot summary. 174.46.172.13 (talk) 03:12, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

LC Classification

[edit]

The prefix PR6060.O497 does not match that for The Merlin Conspiracy (as those for books in series routinely match) nor those for about 50 other DWJ novels. It does match that for The Tough Guide to Fantasyland and it is her own LC classification --that is, the only one listed in her LCNAF [1] (external link LCCN in the footers of our writer biographies).

I submitted an error report to the online catalog, hoping to evoke an explanation.

Evidently PZ7 J684 is the prefix for all children's or juvenile literature written by DWJ (collections edited by her are under PZ5). PR6060.0497 is the prefix for her other books, including collections, criticism, auto/biography, etc.
Why Deep Secret is classed as such general English literature in contrast to Merlin and 50 other children's books, I don't know; it looks like a mistake to me.
Her first book Changeover (1970 adult novel) is not in LC Catalogue. The other books catalogued under PR6060 are A Sudden Wild Magic (1992 adult fantasy or sf novel), Everard's Ride (1995 NESFA Convention volume miscellaneous), Minor Arcana (1996 collection perhaps miscellaneous), The Tough Guide (1996, 2006 two eds.), Reflections (2012 collection essays).
