New magazine title CLIJ was added to the database. Based on the cover scans, the title for this does indeed appear to be CLIJ. However, the title description refers to the title twice as CLIP, so that needs to be fixed.

Also, it looks like there was an effort to move poster books out of the Comics category and into the Books category. Makes sense, except that I can verify that the title 20 Nude Dancers 20 Year One Poster Book consists almost entirely of comics and should be returned to the Comics category. "Poster Book" is a bit of a misnomer in its case, referring mainly to the larger size of the pages. Most if not all of the contents originally saw print in Comics Buyer's Guide when it was in the newspaper format. They are single-page strips--comics--not poster images of the Hulk or whatever. Also, these two titles were added to the Comics category: The Roman Stars The Trust Book One- Silent Scream "The" should come at the end of those titles (Roman Stars, The).

This title should be Zenescope: 20th Anniversary Cover Gallery to match the indicia and to reflect the fact that it encompasses all the Zenescope titles published (not just covers from Grimm Fairy Tales).

Looking at the contents on Google Books, 'Rube Goldberg Inventions' should be a type Books: https://books.google.com/books?id=uxR9Mf3ZhDsC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

As I understand it, automatching relies on matching up UPC codes. So old National and Quality comics won't work with automatching b/c those issues won't have UPC's. Something like GI Joe ARAH might work since (I assume) all of those issues have UPC's (at least the newsstand editions would, at any rate).

No. Publisher is only in the Title table. It is not in the Issue table. Which is why it has to be referenced as ComicTitles.Publisher in an Advanced Find instead of just using an I (which indicates Issue) for I.IssueNumber

If you do decide to upgraded to Pro (I think that has advanced find) or Archive and what to know some of the basic Advanced Find 'stuff', look at the Advanced Find Guide 'someone' put together

The comic title Geiger (2nd series) includes an entry for Book #1/HC. My understanding is that this collects issues #1 through 6 of the first Geiger series. (There has not been a hardcover collection of the second Geiger series yet AFAIK.) Consequently, that item should be moved to the Geiger title.

Variant I and N are duplicates

Silly me, I thought he was referring to coverprice, the comicbase field, not realizing there was such a thing as covrprice.com. The conversation makes much more sense now.
