a note about checking copyright date

(added in August , 2020)

It's always a good idea to take notice of when the book was written, and one can judge this by the copyright date, which is located on one of the very first pages. That page will also list earlier and later editions and may indicate that some later editions are "revised" and thus might contain later information than earlier editions.

For medical books, human or veterinary, the time era in which the book was written is really important. In many areas of medicine, things can change a lot in a very short time, mostly because research continues. So some of the information in a book only a few years old may not be up-to-date.

Likewise for every technical book. That includes DIY home repair books, computer books.

Dog training books are likewise time sensitive because training methods change and evolve, go in and out of style. Books on living with a dog, raising a dog, etc include training and some medical information.

Even in fiction, the era in which the book was written may affect the story. This is especially true in mystery stories (also mystery movies and TV series) because technology changes. For all novels, the social / cultural background portrayed is limited by the era in which it was written. One can of course write about long ago eras : that is the historical novel mode. One can try to envision and write about a possible future era : that is common in science fiction. One can write about a past that never happened but might have : that's the alternate history mode of science fiction.

Similarly please take note of the date that my own site pages were written and revised. Because in addition to technical issues, my own experiences and opinions continue to evolve.
