(Note: I had three footnotes in the first paragraph. The Internet has almost nothing, so I thought I'd put this up in case anyone is curious about the bits that make up a call number and where Cutter numbers come from. There is very little written about book numbers (see References at the bottom for a list of all the major books on the topic). Pointed out where I wasn't clear about Kate Sanborn Jones's last nameĪnd where I quoted a chronological book number table and then used anĮxample that wasn't actually shown in the quote. Very loose and vague, depending on who makes it. There is one factual mistake:ĭublin Core metadata doesn't have to be detailed, in fact, it can be I wanted to know, so when I got the chance I wrote this ten-pager. The introductory cataloguing course had, of course, covered Dewey and Library of Congress, but the details of book numbers were dismissed with a quick "and you can add on something to indicate what volume or copy it is." I wasn't clear on exactly what a book mark was, or title mark or collection mark, and who said you could use them, and who made the rules. I wrote this essay in February 2003 for a course in the theory of classification at the Faculty of Information Studies at the University of Toronto. I have two more yet-to-be announced books coming out from them, and I can’t think of a better home for them.Denton, William. And AfterShock has just been a joy to work with, from editorial to sales and marketing I’ve felt nothing but support and appreciation. And AfterShock editor, Christina Harrington, giving the perfect mix of critique and creative freedom, pushing me to do what I think is my best work in years. Letterer Dave Sharpe had a tough act to follow coming after Thomas Mauer but his work is the unsung hero of this book. Having Jeremy Haun on covers for this and WAR ON TERROR: GODKILLERS has spoiled me. Giorgio and colorist Pippa Bowland create magic together, and each time I get a page it’s a real treat.

That said, I do think reading the series will enhance your experience.” – Mark Sable
“I try to make every book I write as stand-alone as possible, in the same way I tried to make MISKATONIC accessible and enjoyable to those who’ve never read Lovecraft’s work. Is it essential to have read the previous series to enjoy this one-off special? All of this is set against the backdrop of America’s first red scare…and a strange supernatural call people are hearing across the globe – the Call of Cthulhu.” Her partner Tom Keller, a retired NYPD officer from Lovecraft’s The Horror of Red Hook, is trying to track her down. Miranda Keller, one of the first female FBI agents, trying to escape from a concentration camp for half-man, half-sea creature, the Deep Ones in the American Southwest. Lovecraft’s valley of the same name, picking up right where the series left off in the late 1920’s. “MISKATONIC: EVEN DEATH MAY DIE special is a 48-page, oversized grand finale to MISKATONIC, the crime/horror/historical fiction set in H.P. Sable lets us know what this new book is all about: But soon they both start sharing dreams of Cthulhu, a monstrous entity in the South Pacific who will soon awaken and bring about the end of the world as we know it. Miranda tries to escape a Deep One concentration camp and a traumatized Tom is obsessed with finding and freeing her. The horrifying events in the Miskatonic Valley have torn apart retired detective Tom Malone and ex-FBI agent Miranda Keller.
