Jason Wintz | 31 comments This edition does not have a cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It uses the same cover as this edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Alternately, a cover image can be found here:

Acceptable sources can be found here: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Jason Wintz | 31 comments Well, it uses the same cover as the other edition I showed, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Is that acceptable, or do I need to provide another source? I think most likely I'd have to provide a photo of my copy.

This thread is about Star Fox, as suggested by the thread title.

I have uploaded 4 files in my profile photos, Cover, inner jacket showing book club edition, title page and copyright page


message 7: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments What is the source of the images?


message 8: by Jason (new) - added it

Jason Wintz | 31 comments Photos of my copy. I couldn't get a better cover photo because my copy has a clear plastic library style cover, and when I tried to remove it I got concerned the paper cover was in such poor shape it would fall apart.


message 9: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments That is clearly not the 1965 edition.


message 10: by Jason (new) - added it

Jason Wintz | 31 comments How can you tell (not trying to be combative here, just want to do a better job of identifying the editions)?

I guess it could also be this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

which is the only other book club edition I see listed under hardcovers.


message 11: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments Your fifth image gives a copyright date for illustrations of 1986.
There is an ISBN and they did not exist in 1965.


message 12: by Jason (new) - added it

Jason Wintz | 31 comments Aaah. That runs into another issue. That photo (nor the 6th) is not for Star Fox, that is for an Asimov book, Robot Dreams. Is there a way to organize the photos I upload? I did title the photo Robot Dreams Copyright Page.


message 13: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments Just letting us know what is what would be sufficient. We librarians don't necessarily have any knowledge of the books or authors you are asking us to assist with.

So is the listing without cover just an unnecessary duplicate of the other edition you linked to? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 14: by Jason (last edited May 24, 2025 01:40PM) (new) - added it

Jason Wintz | 31 comments While it seems likely, I can't say for certain that the two editions are duplicates. If they are, I would merge to the original edition I linked to, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1..., as it shows the publisher as Doubleday & Company, as does my copy of the book, whereas the other edition lists the publisher as Science Fiction Book Club, and I'm not aware of whether that entity is a publisher per se. I am not an expert on this (or any other) book, I'm just trying to fill in information for something that I feel confident is in my possession. Looking at some of the suggestions I see in this librarian group, I get the feeling that the desire would be not to merge/delete entries unless one is certain.


message 15: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments It gives publisher as Doubleday & Co, why do you feel it is not the book you own?


message 16: by Jason (new) - added it

Jason Wintz | 31 comments I think perhaps I wasn't clear. I feel strongly that this edition is the one I own: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This edition I feel is not, and while I think it likely a duplicate of the other, I am not certain: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


message 17: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments What about the edition you link in your first post? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 18: by Jason (new) - added it

Jason Wintz | 31 comments Not sure. I would assume there would be a non-book club edition of the hard cover, and that this is it. If anything, I would suspect (though again not know for certain) that https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... are the same edition (though the picture of the latter looks startlingly "new", as though it weren't printed 60 years ago.

The SFBC is a part of Doubleday.

Interesting. Did they only distribute Doubleday books? I don't remember but it's been a long time since I bought books from a book club :)

But to the point of the question I was trying to answer, does that make the two editions listed here in Goodreads duplicates, or should they be considered separate?


message 21: by Martin (new)

Martin | 36276 comments I have cropped the image to remove spine at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And will delete the duplicate listing you originally requested cover for.


message 22: by Scott (new)

Scott | 9706 comments SFBC did produce their versions of other publishers' works, yes.

I would put the actual publisher in the publisher field, and Science Fiction Book Club as the edition.
