DLB contents[edit]

I've started listing DLB volumes, and the contributions within them, at User:Dsp13/DLB and subpages.Dsp13 (talk) 17:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request for correction[edit]

"The series thus includes biographies of historians, journalists, publishers, book collectors, and sc Each volume is overseen by an expert in the field[4] and is approximately 3,000 to 5,000 words long." Is this sentence in the purpose and scope section wrong? What does this 'sc Each volume' mean? Does it have special connotations or a typical mistake?

@Mosesheron:sc was an editing error. Each volume contains a preface, Plan of the Series, from which this sentence was taken. Referring to a volume in hand I have completed the sentence to read "screenwriters" ―Buster7 ☎
