Illustration by Nonny Hogrogian

We say in the infobox, "Cover artist: Nonny Hogrogian (1995 and later editions)". Before revisiting the page for a direct quotation, I misunderstood the meaning as interior illustrations rather than cover art only (or frontispiece only). So it was a good idea to go back for a quotation.

Today I worked some on the new article David Kherdian and I didn't find WorldCat library catalog records that mention illustration by Hogrogian. I suppose the source is examination of a 1995 copy. I did check all six WorldCat library records that give the 1995 date (Formats and Editions, page 5 of 6). A map and 2 pages of plates are mentioned there.

Cover art is routinely worth coverage in the infobox only and I agree that that is sufficient here! --P64 (talk) 20:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Subtitle

I doubt the book was retitled in 1995. Not one WorldCat library record (see "Formats and Editions" linked above) gives the supposedly new title, The Road from Home: A True Story of Courage, Survival, and Hope. The foreign-language titles all fit the original subtitle, The Story of an Armenian Girl, if i skim and judge correctly. And my experience shows that variant titles routinely show up in WorldCat records.

I suppose that A True Story of Courage, Survival, and Hope is merely part of a new cover or dustjacket design. --P64 (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

The U.S. library of congress has (shows online) only two catalog records, 1979 Greenwillow LCCN 78-72511and 1988 Puffin reprint LCCN 87-24156. The second notes 2 pages plates and quotes "Ages 10–14" from the design/publisher. Both give a Biography subject heading (LCSH) and Summary and show LC Class DR, or (we say) World History: Balkan Peninsula.
