Talk:A Pack of Lies

History? Britain?
Beside the main points of my work here --bibliographic data and the the Carnegie/Guardian double award-- I have put a one-sentence capsule in the lead paragraph last week and revised it to say "historical tales" rather than "British history" today. Last week's term "British history" was based on a web review (hearsay? readsay?) and wiki-linked without observing that that linkname redirects to "History of the British Isles". I don't know anything about the scope or nature of the tales except what I have from this article (eg, one features ancient China) and web hearsay/readsay. Even the third lead sentence is by a previous editor, "The stories vary widely in type."

So today I have un-mentioned British, not mentioned England or Great Britain or the UK or the Isles, not added any portal or category related to content of the stories-within-story. Any such mentions and adds would be desirable if true but that is not for me. --P64 (talk) 17:07, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

US edition
The article includes some information on two US editions (with formal references that I provided).

Now a Harvard University Libraries catalog record for the first edition (ISBN matches) makes me wonder whether one edition of the book was available from Oxford University Press on both continents in 1988. (Would that be "co-publication" if true? I don't know enough about the term or the Oxford or Harvard arrangements.) --P64 (talk) 17:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
