[MinervaCats] {Disarmed} Re: Ranger's Apprentice

[Ulla Messerschmidt]

Hi Marie,

Thanks for catching this. Our Erak's Ransom had the wrong number.
Overlayed it with a bib from Australia and I'm pretty sure it is supposed
to be #7. 
Our copy is out, but I will check it when it is returned. 

I think "The sorcerer in the north is #5. Our copy has been sitting on the
hold shelf at hob since May 11. Hob, can you please pass it on?

I don't see a need to distinguish between the U.S. and Australian edition
with different series titles, but maybe I'm missing something? 
Time for desk duty, but I can change the 440 to 490 and add the 800 field
later ini the afternoon.
