Gareth D. | 132 comments All the entries for me, Gareth D. Jones, are correct, but as the self-appointed representative for Gareth Joneses everywhere, I decided check what else needed tidying up.

I suspect the books by Gareth Jones without an initial are by multiple authors, given the varying topics and dates, but that will be more difficult to work out.

Gareth D. | 132 comments These 2 are different editions of the same book:

Done!

Gareth D. | 132 comments These are different editions in English and Welsh of the same book. The Welsh title is just Mab y Mynydd.

Gareth D. | 132 comments This seems to be a series rather than a book, but should be Gareth P. Jones:

Gareth D. | 132 comments Great start thanks, Renske.

Any chance you can fix the typo in my thread title?

Gareth D. | 132 comments This book should be called Gareth Jones: A Manchukuo Incident

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

A lot of the details are missing, but can be found here:

Done!

Gareth D. | 132 comments These 4 are different editions of the same book. The subheading ‘The official true story behind the film Mr. Jones, starring James Norton’ may well be true, but isn’t part of the title as far as I can tell. Similar text appears on the cover of some edition.

Original version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


This versions:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Should have this cover: https://www.amazon.co.uk/More-than-Gr...

There’s also these 2:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Done!

Gareth D. | 132 comments This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Has this cover: https://www.amazon.com/Youth-Violence...


This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Has this cover: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bringing-You...

I also think there are two different Gareth A. Jones, one who writes about algebra and one who writes about youth, housing and development, but I can't be definitely sure.


Done!
