| New one. Linked sources are to verify the original publishing date, and their images verify that the omnibus' content was the same on the first press as on the edition I have (so all the people could be added on the GT, not just the ST). Let me know if I added this correctly or if alterations need to be made. I added only De Sade as the author on the title as that's how it reads on the cover, but if I should rather feature the compilers there (or both, or neither), it can be edited. |
