How many editions of a book have been published?

October 20, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Writing and Publishing / No Comments

How do I find out how many editions a book has? I am looking for a book and it seems all the editions have the same ISBN. It’s out of print. The book is Perspective Drawing: A Directed Study (ISBN: 0136603572, by Jane H. James
I actually bought a 1980 version last night for $9.50 and I found them from that price up to $500. The 1981 edition is over $1,000. So I’m curious how many there are. Thanks. I poked around on the net but couldn’t find anything definitive?

How do I set a Microsoft Word document to be exactly 25 lines per page?

August 6, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Computer & Internet Basics, Writing and Publishing / 8 Comments

Do you have any idea how to set a document in Microsoft Word to have exactly 25 lines per page? That’s what the agents and publishers I’m approaching want as a standard format, (1″ margins and 25 lines) but every attempt I’ve made to do that has fallen short one way or another — the occasional 24 or 26 lines. Any ideas? I’ve queried a lot of my other writer friends, but their solutions don’t quite work. They may not be Mac folks. Help! If you don’t have an answer I’m going to be doing a lot of line counting and eyeballing of pages.

How do I join Amazon Connect?

July 19, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Writing and Publishing / 3 Comments

I just published my first book and am now interested in joining Amazon’s Connect program and creating an author site at Amazon.com. Not sure what value it’ll have, but I figure it’d be cool to have a personal site on Amazon and it’s sure to impress my friends. But… how do I do it?

Can I download the Holy Bible for free?

June 8, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Writing and Publishing / 29 Comments

I know that there are plenty of programs I can buy that include a copy of the Holy Bible in digital form, but I’m wondering whether I can legally download a copy of the Bible without having to buy anything or resort to one of those heinous peer to peer filesharing sites?

Is it legal to talk about our personal histories in memoirs?

May 9, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Writing and Publishing / 4 Comments

In light of all of the disastrous attention recently directed at James Frey and his memoir, I have some questions about legality and autobiographies. Can we mention companies for whom we have worked by name? Do all names of persons have to be changed? DoI have to hint so as not to be sued? Do I have to fictionalize?
