    I also entered "Celebrated Cases of Dick Tracy 1931-1951, The" which is a 1990 reprint of a 1970 book (I'm sure related to the movie coming out at that time.) 

    Content pages scan attached.  Also mostly reprints of strips, rather than text.

    I entered "Miss Buxley: Sexism in Beetle Bailey?" as well.  I think that should remain a book.  While most pages have a strip reprint, it's more about the commentary below the strips on each page than the reprints.

    (All these books I found remaindered, mostly in the '80s and '90s that I'm finally entering.  I miss the real Barnes & Noble Annex on 5th and (I think) 17th in NYC.  Found many books there over the years.)

    1st title sounds like it should be in Comic Books.

    2nd title sounds like a Book title

    I added "Dick Tracy's Fiendish Foes!".

    Here's the contents page scan.  Mostly strip reprints other than an 20 page interview with Chester Gould by Max Allan Collins.

    I put it in as a book; I thought only "comics" were comics, not "comic strips". 🙂

    this title should be in 'Comic Books' if the majority of its content is comic strip pages

    I tried the new build, with the same result.

    I usually use the Preview button to look at the report without printing it, but I tried Print with the same result.

    It shows me the following dialog box (which never gets past 10% in the title bar), before it gives up and displays the message shown in the first post of this thread.

    I don't think so.

    Not the same books, or more accurately the information is wrong.  Bronze Age Omnibus #1 (As opposed to the paperback one that leaves out "Omnibus") reprints 77-113, #2 reprints 114-146, and #3, which you list separately (although without the detailed notes)  collects Justice League of America #147-182, Super-Team Family #11-14, DC Special #27, DCSpecial Series #6, Secret Society of Super-Villans #15, DCComics Presents #17.

     Under the original Justice League of America title, Bk 1 HC is 184-186, 192-194, and is the George Perez edition of the DC Library.  Number 2 at leat matches the full description and ISBN.

    UPC Book 1 - 978140126806059999

    UPS Book 2 - 978140127784759999

    Book 1 matches despite the erroneous description, book 2 does not (has 847 instead of 857 before 59999.)  I did enter the wrong cover price when submitting; it's 99.99 not 125.

    It would help us collectors if you could be consistent with these reprint books, especially the ominbuses that have their own series.  You list the silver age separately (actually twice, since the first book had a reprint; not sure why that wasn't 1-2 instead of 2nd series) but only the third Bronze Age book?  Plenty of other examples as well.

     

    James, sounds like you own them and a bit of clean up is needed overall.

    Bottomline... Should the listings under "Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus' title remain but with more accurate information be added? Do Bk 1/HC-Bk 3/HC need to be removed under the main 'Justice League of America' title?

  5. Programming team tried a bare bones update (for comics and magazines only) and didn't have any trouble with your database. There maybe other settings we're not accounting for that you go with when you update...can you screenshot your Update options so we can try to replicate with the backup you saved to us?

    Didn't find the first and second issues of "Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus"; I've submitted them through the database.  I'm guessing that it was thought that issue 3 was a continuation of the Silver Age Omnibus numbering, but it is a separate title/issue.  Just mentioning this here in case the submittal was dismissed because it was thought it was a continuation of the Silver Age.

     

    I've included cover scans here (and also submitted via the database.)
