  • Notes:
    • 2017-05-17 Data from www.baen.com/star-courier.html which has "SKU: 0879972920". 0879972920 is not an ISBN though it's the same value as ISBN 0-87997-292-0 used by the DAW Books publication of Star Courier in 1977.
    • 2017-05-17 A review of this record was done as it was showing ISBN 978-0-87997-834-1 which was used by DAW Books in 1983. It was discovered that:
      • Nothing was not found on www.baen.com when checked for "978-0-87997-834-1", "9780879978341", or "0879978341".
      • General Google searches found nothing that supported the use of "978-0-87997-834-1", "9780879978341", or "0879978341" for this publication record.
      • Baen has a record for Star Courier at www.baen.com/star-courier.html with SKU 0879972920.
      • 2009-12-13 This ISFDB publication record was created with ISBN 978-0-87997-292-9. This ISBN also does not make sense as it was used by DAW Books in 1977.
      • 2014-11-07 This ISFDB publication record was updated to change the ISBN to 978-0-87997-834-1. It's not clear why this was done and may have been an accident.
      • If the SKU 0879972920 is interpreted as an ISBN10 and then translated to an ISBN13 then you get 978-0-87997-292-9 which was the value used in 2009 when this ISFDB publication record was created.
      • It is not known if Baen was reporting the SKU or ISBN as 978-0-87997-292-9 in 2009 or if the editor that added the record to ISFDB interpreted "SKU 0879972920" as an ISBN10 and for some reason translated it into an ISBN13.
    • 2017-05-17 The results of the review are to edit this ISFDB publication record to change:
      • Add a note that the source of the data for this publication record is www.baen.com/star-courier.html.
      • The ISBN 978-0-87997-834-1 was changed to be #0879972920 as it's an SKU, not an ISBN value.
      • The publication date was changed from 2007-12-00 to 2007-09-01 to match what Baen is showing.
      • The price and other fields already matched what's on Baen's web site.
      • A cover image was added from Baen's site.
