Dear Litsy,
Why do you think original publication dates never seem to be listed on Goodreads or Litsy? When I googled it I found this GR notes from some manual perhaps for ppl working on the site but I've yet to see it listed in book details. Doesn't it seem like info you'd really want to know? I just want to know when books were actually written!
Sincerely,
Tearing My Hair Out (😆)

DivaDiane I always want to know the original publication year! 8y
Marchpane I find Goodreads can be relied on to have the original publication date, but only on the web version, not the mobile app. I use their dates for my #192019challenge and haven't run into any issues (I do occasionally cross-check them with Wikipedia) 8y
LibrarianRyan As a GR librarian, I can tell you it's part of the GR Librarians Manual. When your putting in a new book you put original date and pub date. Both are searchable fields. 8y
Natasha.C.Barnes @LibrarianRyan @Marchpane I guess I don't use the web version enough! I wish it were available via the app! 8y
batsy Yes, I tend to use Goodreads on desktop for this reason. I've usually found the original date to be listed. The app version is ok for a quick browse but it has limited features, sadly. 8y
