Since today a number of things have been improved:
- The Book series field has been added: with this you can indicate a sub-series within the main series (for example the Sunflower series in the De Kameleon series) or an umbrella series such as the Zwarte Beertjes. The book series field works the same as the album series field in Comics.
- You can use a number addition to include variants of a certain number in the sequence (eg 1a, 1b etc).
- You can register more Types with a book.
- You can enter the language (for languages other than Dutch)
- The details field has been made larger to accommodate more text.
- You can enter the stories separately in a book. This is useful for bundles, omnibuses, etc. What is not yet possible is to indicate the authors, illustrators and series per story. For this we must first perform a data conversion. Coming.
- You can also indicate whether it concerns a second or third edition.
Have fun with these new features. Do not hesitate to give feedback or express any other wishes.

Good suggestions for species. I will work on that next week. With stories I will also include author and illustrator as fields so that you can record them per story. There will soon be a wiki page with background information for each author. Would it be enough if you could name the Writers' Collective there and link the authors on those pages to each other?

Rene / Marco / allen
Shouldn't there be a separate kind for books for reference works (encyclopedia, dictionaries, atlases, etc)? Maybe even include them all as separate species.
And how, for example, should an encyclopedia be included: as 1 whole or all 25 parts separately?

Reference works has been added as Type. Just like Judaica (request from someone else).
V.w.b atlases: by popular request a new main section “Globes, atlases and topography” will be added. I am trying to start up this week.

I've been working on my book collection for a while. I still miss the kind of "plants". I prefer not to include some of them under reference works.
In the near future I will start on my cookbooks. Or are they recipe books? Is there actually a difference?

Sorry for late response.
I added “Plants / Flora”.
And I turned it into “Cookbook / recipes”.

Hello René,
If I add books in other languages I would also like to add a description in other languages to details, but the moderator (Arco) thinks this is nonsense and removes this without consultation, which I find quite rude. His argument: this is a Dutch-language site. I think this is nonsense, it is a site for (and by) collectors and collecting is not limited to Dutch-speaking areas.
Can you make a statement about this and make clear agreements with the moderators for clarity.
Something else: will it also be possible to rate an item, e.g. via stars or whatever, so that those who do not yet own this item get an indication of what others think of it?
Thank you in advance for you response.
Greetings,
Kees van Kempen

When submitting my collection, I noticed that using the Series and Book Series attributes apparently causes problems.
Various items are often entered under book series. Seems wrong to me. After all, whether there is a series or not.
I also find the SF book series. This does not seem correct to me either. Several publishers have published separate series of science fiction books. e.g. Born, Bruna, Meulenhof and Ridderhof.
For the items in my collection I have passed some changes, but there are many more items in the catalog that have been entered incorrectly in my opinion.
As far as series is concerned, it is striking that little use is made of this characteristic. I often find that the series characteristics and the serial number from the series are incorporated in the title.
I also passed these things as changes for the items in my collection, but there are many more items that have these characteristics.
Incidentally, it is not yet clear to me where I can enter the serial number from the series.

I have to intervene before all kinds of nonsense is spread and then howled along with the wolves in the woods.
I may do a lot, but I also save a lot. Like my first and only email to iebeltje on March 1. (The above posting of his is from February 22!) Which reads: ==========================
Dear iebel,
Please only use Dutch texts in the 'Particulars' field. Okay?
frosty green,
@rco =========================
Nothing rude about it, I guess.
And to my knowledge I have not deleted any text from iebeltje.
By the way, Iebeltje was too rude to reply to the above email.
Please provide a Catawiki number of the item in question from which your text has been removed, Iebeltje, because then everyone can see what happened to that item.
Edit:
Hey, I discovered a few more emails from and to friend Iebel!
From early January.
In one of those e-mails I did indeed inform him that I might make some adjustments to his English text IN THE TERM . I think he just copied all the promotional texts from a reviewer of the item for convenience. And indeed we have agreed to keep the details objective.
The e-mails are a bit too large to post here, but are available on request from the secretariat.
The relevant item where Iebeltjes 'prose' can be read:
http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/Dream-of-the-R…

Hey, short question / response, but I miss an open interpretation for printing AFTER the third edition. Now it is done in detail. Can this be realized? An open area for printing AFTER the third printing. Do not have the first, second or third print runs of books, but afterwards.

The big question is whether we should publish all reprints. It only makes sense to me if the front cover has been changed, or the publisher is.
It makes sense to click on this book to add it to your collection and to mention your print somewhere there.
But maybe an extra price field should be added to the value for reprint ??

Also an option, but some books have over 30 print runs. =)

And that's why I don't want to enter Eagle Eye part 44 52 times. bwvs. And price differences between reprints are minimal.
