Janine | 376 comments Apparently, no matter what version of The Attic Child you have, the "First Published" date is listed as September 6th (US release date) when you go to all editions (https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...), despite it being out in the UK since April 22nd. Even for this paperback edition for the book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...), which came out in April, it says it's not out yet. Can this be fixed? Thanks.

Liralen | 8218 comments I can find sources for an April 28 pub date in the UK, but not April 22. Do you have a publisher source (or other accepted source) for April 22?

No, but April 28th is totally fine. Also, apparently, that's the date for the UK hardcover, which is mislabeled as the US hardcover? Here's the ISBN for the UK hardcover (9781529064568).

UK ebook (ISBN 9781529064599) and UK audiobook (ISBN 9781529064605) are not on goodreads and came out on April 28th.

Here's the ISBN for the US hardcover (ISBN 9780063260375) which apparently isn't listed.

UK paperback (ISBN 9781529064582) release date is apparently 27 October of this year (https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/...).

Liralen | 8218 comments Updated original publication date.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'mislabeled as the US hardcover'—the Goodreads page for ISBN 9781529064568 (The Attic Child) doesn't indicate country, and the information appears to match both Amazon and WorldCat (though I did update the non-description).

Please see this thread for requesting new editions: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

This is apparently the UK Hardcover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Liralen | 8218 comments Okay, but what are you indicating needs changing?

For some reason, it still says initial publication date September 6th on the all editions page. Does that mean this edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) needs to be the main one?

UK paperback needs release date changed to 27 October 2022 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...).

Liralen | 8218 comments Oh...odd. I think the original pub date didn't save the first time. I've tried again.

What's your source for 27 October? For ISBN 9781529064575, I'm getting July 26 (Pan Macmillan Australia, probably irrelevant for these purposes) and 28 April (Pan Macmillan South Africa and Amazon UK).
