Infobox on Correct Version

The infobox has a picture of a book by an author who wrote about the original book (but it is not the book itself). Also, I don't have the book knowledge to source the ISBN / OCLC etc. of the actual original copy of this book as there are lots of re-prints/alternative editions of this book. Would be nice to have someone with expertise do the infobox properly? Britishfinance (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Date of the book wrong

For various (Wikisource-related) reasons I've been trying to verify the date of publishing of the book. According to one of the sources cited on the page (The richest man in Babylon for today) the pamphlets that make up the book were first published in 1926, nine of them were compiled into Gold Ahead in 1937, and The Richest Man in Babylon was published as such in 1955. This is very different from what's written right now, and quite a few changes will need to be made to the article if this is verified. Is there anyone willing to help with this?

Correction: I was referring to the book "The Richest Man in Babylon for Today", the page seems to cite some sort of review article? Assistance would be appreciated. Arcorann (talk) 12:06, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
