Hi Shannon,
When I put the ISBN number in my library's online
catalog I got the following:
Never say die / Tess Gerritsen.
Publisher Don Mills, Ont. : MIRA Books, c1992.
Paging 249 p. ; 18 cm.
I did some research on the government copyright page,
too. That particular book wasn't listed. However, I
checked all the entries for both Tess Gerritsen and
Terry Gerritsen. For the two items under Terry
Gerritsen, in parantheses in said "i.e., tess
Gerritsen). I noticed that both of the Terry books
are Harlequin romances. Maybe she uses Terry for
Harlequin and Tess for more, shall-we-say "reputable
books? From an author's point of view, perhaps?
It seems to me that I used to be able to use ISBN
numbers when searching the copyright site, but now
it's not a choice. I'm looking forward to the new
"easier" site when it's done.
