Picked this one up from the Flea Market -- here is a link to the original PR thread, I think most of the issues have been addressed.

Anything else?

Up to your usual standard Mikey Sorry I wasn't here sooner - I thought it was the original thread popping up again.

You've got the piece about Fairie Tale in twice - I think the first you've meant to have removed, as it only has a sub-header.

I would say about the collaberative books, that the style of them sometimes varies greatly from Feist's solo works, and something like, say, Murder in LaMutt is so dis-similar as to be unrecognisable. (Its also a very obvious detective story.) You mention this about the Empire series, which at least remains faithful to Feist's approach.

Those other collaborative books weren't published in the US, so I actually haven't seen them. I'll add that in, though. And thanks for the bit about Faerie Tale!


Mikey

Ok, how's that?


Mikey

Nicely expressed. I was trying to think of a non-libellous way of expressing that concept.

Exile's Return is now published here in the UK - Its sitting under my right now. Its about Wotisface, the Duke who cut off Talon's hand, and was magically exiled, and what happens to him.

(A more detailed plot breakdown may be available when I've read it.)

Very fine, Mikey! I can't say that I'd heard of him before reading this, but the entry is a good introduction. A quick look on Amazon confirms that 'Exile's Return' is indeed now available in Britain. It might be worth you having a look on there to see if there are any other Feist books out there that might have been overlooked.

It looks as if many of the publication dates are slightly different between the US and Britain -- for example, Amazon.com in the US has Exile's Return listed as to be released in 2005, but the UK's Amazon has it just out a few months ago. Maybe I should remove the publication years altogether -- do people really think they add very much?

Or, alternatively, should I just add a note saying that publication years may differ depending on the country of publication?

I generally tried to include the earliest date of publication for each book, regardless of where that occurred -- some books were published first in the US, some first in the UK.

I'd say put the note in. I mean you can always order the book if it hasn't been released in your country yet and you're desperate.

The note seems a good idea. I think the most important thing is to list what books are out there, rather than fretting too much over the dates.

Okay, have done that. Anything else?

*Whistles right back at you and grins*
I'm not allowed to magic whistle this time because someone else is being magic. So I'll just whistle at you.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Well done, Mikey!

thanks, kids!
