Rinou | 101 comments While trying to rescue this book En Bons Termes: Introduction Au Francais Dans Le Contexte Nord-Americain
I found several editions with different spelling for the author:
Michel Alfred Parmentier
Michel Parmentier
Michel A. Parmentier

And Worldcat shows both A. and Alfred spelling for the same books. So I would have kept the longest spelling, but I'm not certain it's the right thing to do.
What do you think about that?

Sandra | 31629 comments Which does LoC use? Which is the one on the covers of the books?


message 3: by Rinou (new)

Rinou | 101 comments Michel Parmentier and Michel Alfred Parmentier are both spelling on LoC, and all the spelling are on the covers

Sandra | 31629 comments Checking around the net, it appears he uses Michel A. Parmentier when publishing his own books and Michel Parmentier when translating and the dictionaries. But as I don't speak/read french I could be wrong.

I haven't seen any covers using his full name.

Rinou | 101 comments I don't find the cover I've seen with his full name, I must have made it up.

From what I can see, he uses just Michel Parmentier for dictionaries too. I'll do the changes accordingly.
Thank you
