Aliases and Title Changes

The lot of a pony book collector is not always an easy one. Some titles were republished, and when they were, their titles changed. Then some authors wrote under different names, some published under different names what is in fact the same book.... and in America many titles were changed completely. Of course some of us do want every edition of a title, but if you don’t, and think you have discovered a previously unknown title, this page will hopefully help you avoid making what might be an expensive mistake! (If you do discover a previously undiscovered title, then please do let me know!)

This list isn’t exhaustive: it’s a work in progress, so if you find either a book or an author who needs to be on this page, please let me know.
