To claim a BB ticket, you must explicitly claim it in your post and include the number of pages in your post. A tally at the end of your post is not sufficient. See the Posting Requirements and post 1 in the Completed Task Thread.

When you repost to claim the ticket, please indicate at the top of your post that you are reposting for this purpose, so that Dlmrose doesn't have to revisit your post.

My completed task got duplicated when I posted it (post 465 and 466). Is there anything I should do to fix it?

Emma wrote: "My completed task got duplicated when I posted it (post 465 and 466). Is there anything I should do to fix it?"

Edit the 2nd post (don't delete it), just note at the top - Duplicate post. That way, Dlmrose and I will know to skip it when we're reviewing.

As I have a soft spot for abandoned data for German books (and I was quite sure that a friend of mine has this book as a paperback) I had a look into this.

There is a paperback version of the book. I have combined it with the Kindle version and entered the page number in the paperback version so that it can now be used without verification.
