This is addressed to you as a source on P.B. Wyndham Lewis oon
www.librarything.com (new to me -- registered today but I do not
know my way around.) The biographical summary for PBWL gives
nationality as UK annotated "Canada (passport)" or something like
that. This hints at a vulgar error since PBWL was reportedly
born (before 1900) aboard a ship bound for Canada. However,
Canadian passports date only from the Citizenship Act of 1947 (1948?)
Before that date passports for Canadians (and Australians, New
Zealanders etc.) were British passports and there was no legally-
defined citizenship different in any way from British nationality.

This is all a red herring because PBWL lived in Canada only briefly
during the early 1940s. The point is that even if he might have
notionally had some claim on Canadian nationality he was in no position
to exercise it before 1947/48 and never did so -- so that the note "Canada (passport)" in his biography is misleading and should be removed.
You must be a librarian, not very many people have their own copy of AACR2 or put in MARC 21 tags in the comment section - I am just completing the first of two years in the Library and Information Technician program at Algonquin College in Ottawa.

I enjoy browsing your collection of books

Thanks
Kathrynnd, thank you for the comment and for the heads-up on the misspelt tag. Regards, Eurobind.
Thanks for your efforts on the Peter Hunts - a huge list! I have taken the liberty of editing the diambiguation notice for Peter Raymond Slater Hunt. A worldcat search makes it pretty clear that Garden Shrubs belongs to him. (I've left the URL there but my formatting isn't smart enough to leave it as a link). My own copy of the book makes no mention of middle names but the brief bio made it unlikely to be anyone else. Thanks again. Roll on the author splitting facility.
Sorry I wasn't clear -- I've already done what I can using the Editions pages and the author combine/separate page, those particular works need the special magic that only a few people know. The next time I go through the Time-Life combine/separate page I'll probably add the series name back to those works.

(Check out the helpers list: http://www.librarything.com/combine.php?... -- I spend way too much time on this.)
Hi,

I understand the reason for removing The Art of Woodworking series name from the canonical title of the books, but it really does make it so much easier on the Time-Life author combine/separate page to find stray books when the good ones are all together. I won't put them back in unless you agree.
