Add Average Original Publication Date

Under Home >> Charts & Graphs >> Books >> Cataloging >> beside where states average publication date

I think there should also be listed the Average Original Publication Date

Reason: users may want to know the average date of their works in their collections not just their specific copies.

But there is only one original publication date, the first time the work was published. Right?

>2 al.vick: This is in Charts & Graphs, so it would be average across the whole catalog (or whatever filters the user has chosen)

I would definitely enjoy this as I don't particularly care about the publication dates of whatever edition I read

>3 norabelle414: So, are you looking to discover whether the books you prefer are written a long time ago or more recently?

>4 krazy4katz: It's just a stat, like everything else on the Charts & Graphs page

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what is desired, but isn't it just below the Publication Dates already?

>6 SandraArdnas: There is a chart of original publication dates down further on the page, yes. But at the top of the page on the right is the "Average Publication Date"

>7 norabelle414: Ah, the stats at the very top. ok thanks

>1 BooksandMovies: I agree. I actually don't much care about the average publication data of my books since a lot of the books I read are from the library. But average original publication date would be interesting and useful.

Yes, this would be a nice extra stat to have.
