I have been building my book & comic library since I was 6 years old. I retired from the US Navy in 2005 and can now finally begin reading everything I have amassed over the years.
I love to read SiFi, Fantasy, and History, with a hard focus on military history. But my main love is comics and the pulps of the 20's and 30's. My favorite... more »

    Hi Little Timmy B! In regards to all of your title change requests for the books in Marvel Masterworks series', I would like to work with you to get these processed and out of our que, but I need to share my thoughts and discuss Shelfari's guidelines and how they would pertain to all of these books. So bare with me while I lay all this out.

    1. Shelfari guidelines state not to include series information in the book title. This helps avoid redundancy.

    2. If there is not a different subtitle to identify books (mainly comics) the "Volume x" identifiers need to remain as part of the title.

    Let me explain this further.... If I were to approve your title change requests the way they are currently submitted, that would create multiple books with identical titles, but that are NOT the same content (hence the necessity of the Volume x identifiers). I understand that they display in order on the series list, but without a separate subtitle, these would inevitably end up in the combination que by mistake. (Members would think they are the same book, due the identical titles, and submit them for combination.)

    What we have done in the past with similar series is to remove the series information from the title, and display the title as: Title - Volume x (i.e., The Incredible Hulk - Volume 1), or in other words:

    Series: Marvel Masterworks: Hulk
    Title: The Incredible Hulk - Volume 1
    Subtitle: (none)

    Does this make sense? I'll wait to hear back from you and then plan to deny the current requests, have you resubmit them with the above changes, and then I will search the que and approve the new change requests.

    Thanks for all your hard work on this series, and if any part of my explanation has left you with more questions, please feel free to ask!

    ~ Tish
