The next issue I encounter when removing changes that have not yet been reviewed... I see that misprints have been entered as a separate version in a number of places. Now I have to say that as a collector I also find it interesting, so I understand. And of course it is not a crooked printed page or other small error, but a part of the print run where, for example, one of the colors in the 4-color print has been completely omitted or where part of the pages have been printed the wrong way around or the text is in the wrong language. This was often discovered during printing, but a number of the misprints were still distributed (I suspect that throwing them away was a significant expense). Has a decision already been made on how to deal with this? A separate item (possibly with the indication 'misprint' in the sub-indication of the number) or simply just as a comment on specifics?

OK, that is in line with the distinction I also made, although of course you do not know how many misprints have come into circulation if you have one copy in your hand. But from the examples I mentioned, you can assume that they didn't happen just once (since they all involve misruns of the printing press). I will therefore accept the relevant additions. I saw that one user had put 'misprint' in the sub-designation of the song and that worked very clearly in an overview view (since at a and b it is not immediately clear which version is the misprint).

The only misprints that are included in the catalog are those for which the publisher has indicated that (part of) the published edition is incorrect. The vast majority of entered misprints do not meet this criterion.

rikMooren I don't get that from the text in the Comics manual. I think it is very difficult to find out whether or not the publisher said anything about 50-year-old comics at the time. Anyway, for now I'm basing myself on the manual, pending any new insight into this.
