Incomplete definition as a placeholder to record the result of the Senior Editor vote on [nn] vs nn. (June 14, 2008)


  • Required Field
  • The issue number of the book in question as it appears on the book. When a book or periodical doesn't have a number listed, [nn] should be used as the issue number (signifying no number). Please do not use the ISBN as an issue number. For series which restart the numbering periodically and change the volume number (many Golden Age US books, for example) use the format "v1#1" (no spaces, not "vol" or "volume").
  • If you feel a made-up number which does not actually appear on the book would be useful it can be included in square brackets.
  • (OI only) If you are indexing the first or last (or only) issue of a series the entries for those issues should be exactly the same as you entered in the Issue Range boxes on the series page.
  • (Flat File only) If you are indexing the first or last (or only) issue of a series the entries for those issues should be exactly the same as you entered in FirstIssue and LastIssue in the Series line above. This field is blank for anything other than the cover (first) line of each issue.
  • Examples:
1
[nn]
[nn] [1]
[nn] [2]
v5#6
v5#6 [30]
