subtitle should go edit
Hi I wrote this book. I removed the subtitle when I published the paperback. So I think the title given in this article should just be "House of Holes." That's the way it's currently listed on Amazon for instance. Not "Holes of Holes: A Book of Raunch." Maybe someone could make this change? Many thanksWageless (talk) 15:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
change made edit
I made the change because nobody else did. Title has been "House of Holes," no subtitle, for ten years.Wageless (talk) 08:15, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- For the sake of the historical record (and as a nod to first-edition buffs and the like), would it make sense to at least add a parenthetical after the initial mention of the title, stating "(originally published as House of Holes: A Book of Raunch)"? I imagine there must be other works whose titles have been handled that way here. (Though it's not quite the same, I did look up Slaughterhouse-Five just now and observed that the lede begins with the entire original title / alternate title / subtitle sequence, though later editions seem to say just Slaughterhouse-Five on the cover.) Or we could add the "originally published as" business somewhere farther down, and/or note in the article that the original subtitle was dropped upon publication of the paperback.
