Dear Plch,
I put librarian notes on some of them.All as I said before were selections of short storie, with no other editions.
I didn't put notes on those which were combined, and the ones I couldn't find the original titles.
Here are the books without a note:
1)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22308...
It is a translation of "The crow comes last".Combined with other editions, and I think it is correctly combined(though I'm not sure).
2)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62765...
I couldn't find any story or book by calvino that would match the name. It is something like Trade in Construction, or business in construction...
3)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64308... I couldn't find this one either. The title's translation is something like: "Who implanted mines in the sea?"
4)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15835... another book or story that I couldn't find. It must be the great portrait, or the great picture, or the big picture, or some like these.

Great tip Cait, thanks. I did the same. :-)
Yeah, of course I would do that.I don't have time right now, but I will probably do it tomorrow. There is just one problem. some of these books are some short stories selected by the translator, and so there is no edition in another language.
I don't know how I can help, but I am ready to do whatever I can. :-)
I'd actually prefer to change the name (merge them),but this one doesn't need an aka,it isn't translated he is Persian & he has got no other profile.
Agatha Christie needs combining help with Japanese .Thanks!(It needs help with Persian & Arabic as well, but I'll do that myself.)
Is it translated to farsi? If not, I will do that.
:D
Well, I don't think so!
wait,I actually combined them, but didn't delete the first, so that it'd be merged . A superlibrarian can do that.
Done! ;-)
actually I tried to edit those books, but I came across the unexpected error as well...

It needs a lot of work, I combined some of the Farsi editions with others, I'll come back soon, do the rest.
done!
done, JG. :)
i'll look!
oh, you're welcome , JG. there wasn't much I could do though, for those selections...
I combined as much as I could, but there is a problem, there are many books by silverstine in farsi, that are selections of his poems-by the translator's will- and don't exist in english, I couldn't do anything for them...
I'll look into that.
