message 1: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl I was going to message this librarian, but he isn't accepting messages. Hephaestus Books is one of those publishers that puts out Wikipedia compilations. Like this one:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

A librarian is changing the titles of these to "Study Guide." I've never seen on any other site, like Barnes and Noble or Powells, where these have been titled "Study Guide." They always have that full title. I'm sure he's changing it to try to prevent people from being confused about the content, but librarians shouldn't be changing titles for that reason. A book's given title is its title, whether we like the title or not.

Agreed.
