This Entry needs to be updated to include info on the fourth book. I wrote a review for addition to the Edited version at the bottom of this Entry:

Thanks, nice to see a system like this finally in place.

Just a comment: shouldn't an entry like this wait to be updated until all the books are out and have bits written about them in the entry? I don't mean to be rude to you or anything, Psybro, but instead of having to update it four more times, then the SubEds would only have to do it once....

Good idea, but I didn't fancy waiting five years or so for the rest of the books to come out.

Looks like this updates page is dead anyway...

Since there are no official tools to handle updates, I work on these offline and email them back to the italics who then copy and paste the new text over the old.

So you'd need to ask them what happened to the editor space on this one.

Usually, I don't get any credit for subbing the updated entries... It's one on the major job benefits of the updating scheme - if someone spots a mistake they can't trace it back to me! smiley - winkeye

I'll drop a line at editorial feedback and see what happened if you'd like...

smiley - cheers
