Open question : I know how to indicate a duplication, but it is not a 'duplication' in the sense of the word, but a wrong assignment to publisher.
How to act ? Change and designate and duplicate it?
It concerns #7211131 I have already written to the only collector, but received no response (03-08). The book (as an item) itself has already been entered in the catalogue. (possibly see comment there). bvd

Leike-w I don't know the book, but according to the wiki principle, the data is editable (if you're sure). So first change errors, and then it becomes a duplication that you can report according to the standard.

Leike-w If I understand correctly (from the WWW) the Intercontinental Book Productions (whether or not) was published under the title: Dangerous Frontiers and the Cresent edition under the title Settlers in Space. Then both books, which are now in LAstDodo, are indeed a duplicate

Jilles That's why I asked that question.
There are roughly 2 variants. The 1st official edition (Dangerous Frontiers) is from IBP.
After that the rights have been passed (will explain) for 'reprints' but with another publisher being CRESCENT. This publisher has changed the cover, but the internals are the same.
So there are 2 (collective) series : 1 of IBP (with DF but without Settlers) 1 reprint series DOOR Crescent which has no DF but instead Settlers in Space( > and in that form Settlers is actually a 1st press again).
There is therefore no publication ( by name ) of Settlers by IBP .

Historically, it's an affiliation/link to the Terran Trade Authority, but this series (Galac.) is more of a trade truck with unused equipment etc., under the pseudonym of Steven Caldwell (who is actually Stewart Cowley, alias suggests) .
I rethink a background page describing that TTA area (seen by the 'fans of the series and writer') as related to the Galac. series, and the 'newer' (by name) TTA releases. In total (entirety of existence/relationship) there are, to my knowledge, 16 (15 +1 (=settlers)) books, translations not included).

edit: the change between those 2 is NOT only the album cover, also the front (hc) have that, can they be entered?

Is it the same publisher twice? Then there is a double.
Are there 2 different publishers (even within the same year)? Are they 2 different items. But both 1st edition.
You can make that clear with a photo of the colophon or a photo of the publisher's name.
And of course you can also mention it in the details.

Strictly speaking, these are 2 different items, right?
After all, published by 2 different publishers.
The story may be the same.
The 'view' (= front cover) is also different because of the 'title'.
And is the title that is on the book no longer filled in for title?
Even if that is wrong.
Then you report that in detail with the 'good title.
And if you put them together, no one can find the one copy in the catalog anymore. Because it's not in it.
Or post an additional photo.
But then you already have 2 pictures of 2 different ones
booking on 1 LD number.
And that's not possible, I thought.

buizer this concerns the existence of that item #7211131 . In my eyes no. that's what it's about.

I have wanted to demonstrate this insofar as possible, and it is accepted/not accepted. So I just wait.
(so question in this was? Do I treat something like duplication, actually no, also a change gives the same picture in review).

What then should I understand by right to exist?
Item #7211131 has been in the catalog for some time anyway. Publisher IFP.
And then you have #9879551 . Publisher Crescent Books.
The mere fact that there are 2 different publishers means that they are always different items.
Even though the front and back are identical.
But to see/know that difference you have to open the book(s).
And look at the publisher.
If you are going to consider this as a duplicate. Well then many reprints are also all duplicates.
And that's where the difference is only in 'ten pressure'.
But that's what it says in the manual.

buizer I agree with your explanation, (by the way, I had item 2 entered).

However : IBP has no Settlers in Space, only the Crescent publishing house, that's what I'm trying to get across. It is a modified/modified (renewed if you will) edition of Dangerous Frontiers.
Question was change this item to duplicate : yes or no (so I asked question before doing such a thing) .
(article 11)
There is no colophon available on that #7211131 , and no response from collector/importer. (obv circumstances). And if it never comes, it will stay that way.

People don't have to believe me, but how can I, as a user, indicate something similar, send a PM outside an administrator, and then hope (if he/she may not know either?).

From a Collector's point of view: if he existed, I would have put him in my Wish List.. ;-)

Also, there are other things that went wrong here.
There is the series Galatic Encounters (1979-1980) from publisher IFP.
And there is the same series of Galactic Encounters (1979-1980) from released Crescent.
Nothing strange in itself.
But all titles have the same year.
And you can't.
And the question is rather: which publisher published the very first book in this 'Series'. And when.
And maybe also change the name of the series, now 2x the same.

Adjusting item is the right course, so do not create duplications.

I wouldn't dare say that. Theoretically it is quite possible.

And maybe also change the name of the series, now 2x the same.

Certainly when it comes to a limited number of the same titles, a further distinction is unnecessary in my opinion.

Everything in a row I can't find out more precisely.
Given the colophons, IBP is the first, since Crescent mentions that..

Yes indeed this helps.
But then it is also better to mention in the details that it is a US edition or a UK edition.
Because it's confusing. Especially if no colophon photos are included.
The same series published by 2 publishers and in the same years.
Unless you are going to decipher the isbn number...

buizer that's the rationale behind it. And yes (can only speak for myself here), try to do that too. I ran into this because I saw that there was a series name, which I changed because it was not listed (completing an existing item). There I then discovered that both the publisher and the country of issue 'turned out to be' incorrect. Instead of changing more there I sent a PM to the original importer (please see the messages). Pending : no response : : how can I fix this??? and the forum question arose.
In the meantime I have completed the Crescent series with input and (subject to change) added that book completely (with all info) again. (followed advice: if in doubt, create a full-fledged item).
That the importer did not or did not want to do those things at the time, or a control error (we are all human) I cannot change that.

(and that's the whole problem : how can I be able to prove all this; then as a user I must be willing and able, and I've tried).

Entering US or UK in comments IS POSSIBLE, but should actually be apparent from the country of issue, or am I seeing it wrong? And ISBNs : they are different, that fact alone (deciphering not necessary) should actually make someone think... (and yes..the importer again).

I also understand that the handbook cannot make a colophon (or identification info) mandatory, because this simply does not always exist, but you notice how difficult it is to restore this.

What concerns me more is: why is there a US and a UK version here.
In both countries they speak English, yes.
To reduce costs?
And does that happen often?
And does this 'phenomenon' also exist in other languages, eg Dutch or French?
And the isbn number consists partly of x number of cdigits in the entire number) for the 'language area.. And then I thought 0 and 1 for US, UK, South Africa and Australia.
So you will not always know the country of issue.

buizer can often say yes. Yes they speak English (there are also variants ;-) ),
Yes, think 80% on cost savings, and or production capacity. It is often cheaper to deliver the layouts elsewhere and to print them there. (wages/paper costs/working hours (24-7). Government influence (import-export).

Yes is common, also applies to NL language. those are often printed externally (China, Yugoslavia (historical) etc.), but in this one they are made there, but not published (nl language).
English is more difficult; seen as a world language. Sometimes it is cheaper to manufacture and publish the book in THAT country, rather than. export with expensive costs.
As an aside, currently with the imports (taxes etc.) from US and UK, getting a book (od) there (availability sometimes greater) is a pricey affair, and demand for it drives up prices. The collector (general) who likes everything... you get the idea. Abba already sang it, money, money.....

ISBNs (is also a learning process, you know, I prefer to refer to the isbn'sites);
You are right about that: country of issue is very difficult. With the right search engine technique and the right sites, and search terms, you can invent something via detours. Barcodes make this a little faster. And then I suggest (use of a computer and knowing / or having learned mannerisms is useful), Google is not supreme, and if you are looking for something, use other search engines as well. One filters a lot, the other less (or not at all), and it happens that one has it in the list, the other does not (by the way, a tip for collectors, don't just use G., it will give you be surprised what you sometimes find). Be careful, eh?, the links you follow. they also know.....
I just think like this: if an archive or library can find it? maybe I can do it too.
edit : oh yes do other countries know this too : yes

buizer couldn't think of an example for a moment (was in front of me).
Regarding this series as a relationship with TTA (Terran Trade Authority), I am a collector, but have my limits, and all language variants of the original 4 are not included (currently US and UK, 1 NL version, 1 French. Not: Japanese, Swedish, German, Spanish, Portuguese... nice isn't it? ;-) and unfortunately I can't say (or more is known, unless I start digging) where these were made/published. I'm not allowed to take pictures, so...no input, don't have them.

110506 (for comics) and 5979529 (for books) are the same copy (freud). It's a comic, so I'm assuming it belongs there.
