Mills & Boon Romance Title Page Discussion
I don't agree that their should be separate pages for Mills & Boon Romance and Harlequin Romance Titles that are the same book. For the following reasons:
1. They are the same book.
2. The publication history gives an opportunity for interested users to find the book within their home country.
3. Also, as a user, I find it interesting to compare covers and back cover descriptions of the same book to those issues printed later as well as in different countries and to see where it was printed first.
If you agree with the above, I also wanted to let you know the reasoning for some of the things I do:
I list each category romance by whichever publisher printed with paperback version first. I use the paperback version and not the first type of media published (i.e. hardcover), as most people who read category romance read the paperback version. Also, release month/year of the paperback version would be most familiar to them, especially if they were looking for a particular book they can't remember the name of.
If the first paperback version is released by both countries in the same month/year, I chose, the US version as there are more readers in the US compared to Britain (I'm assuming this as the US population is much greater compared to the UK). As such, I believe the majority of people searching would find the Harlequin more interesting/familiar than the British.
Please let me know your thoughts, so we can come to some sort of aggrement.--Greenstrawberry1982 06:46, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
