[MinervaCats] Ranger's Apprentice

[Marie Morey]

Hi catalogers,
 
Yesterday we had a patron asking about books 6&7 of Ranger's Apprentice.
We found records for Erak's Ransom at tml & wit bib # b26022400 and
Siege of Macindaw at gar, tml, & wit bib # b2602231x From what I can
gather these are the Random House Australian editions yet to be
published in the US, book #6 (Siege of Macindaw) comes out here in
August while the 7th book isn't published until 2010. However, and
here's where it seems to get complicated (at least to me) Erak's Ransom
is a sort of in-between book that was almost called book 41/2! So the
mark record's 490 field has Erak's Ransom as book #5 in the series and
Siege of Macindaw as book #7. So, in the catalog when you search
Ranger's apprentice you have two tilts for book #5. Am I the only one
confused? Australia has already published books 1-9.
 
Thanks,
Marie
