  • Comment: The books need both isbns and publishers. Of the two, the isbn links to the fullest possible information and other databases, but the publisher information indicates immediately without further linking the nature and to some degree the importance of the book. This is particularly important in fields such as the ones she publishes in, where there is bioth realscholaship and publicity driven trivia. DGG ( talk ) 05:09, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: please add publishers foreach book, and refences to any available review. DGG ( talk ) 08:46, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: the books need ISBN numbers not sources Theroadislong (talk) 16:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

If you click on a Google Book source or even look up a book by title and author you can get that info. I don't think it's required for an entry on Wikipedia. But if it's important to you please add. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
