Ambition[edit]

There's a problem with this book, apparently due to be published next month. The ISBN 9780091930042 doesn't appear at Internet Book Database or Internet Book List, and Google Books gives two titles, "Ambition" and "Strip". Furthermore, a previous ISBN was cited in the article, 9780091930073, which Google Books also renders as "Strip", while Internet Book Database gives "Ambition" and IBList gives nothing. Can anyone shed light on this? Groomtech (talk) 10:31, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon now lists the book Ambition as

ISBN 0091930073 ISBN 9780091930073

and tthe book Tease as ISBN 0091930030 ISBN 9780091930035

Birth date[edit]

Library of Congress Name Authorities cites this article (version of 08-09-2009) so there is still a problem.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 23:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

other issues like NPOV[edit]

Once all the factual matters are straightened out, some of the breathless tone needs to be tempered. There are ways of expressing the facts of her career without sounding so breathless about it. The fact that she wrote something that can be called a novel, for instance, does not make her Gypsy Rose Lee. This reads too much like press release.

Why no mention of the source of her pseudonym?[edit]
