Adding a Dickens edition

[Paulfozz]

Hi,

I want to add entries for a two volume edition of the Heron Books Centennial Edition of Charles Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop that I have as I cannot find them listed on GR, but as it is split over two volumes (Old Curiosity Shop I, Old Curiosity Shop II) I wanted to double check if it was right to add them both as alternate editions of or if they should be separate. I assume that since it's the same novel they can be combined with the other 160+ editions but I'd rather be certain I'm adding them correctly before I do it!

Thanks,

Paul

No. Each volume is it's own book and would be combined with other split volumes or left on their own. They do not get combined with the complete novel.

Hi Paul

You should add them as separate editions, specifying "Volume I" and "Volume II" in the title field, i.e., "The Old Curiosity Shop: Volume I".

In the "Edition" field, I would be inclined to add the information that they're part of a two-volume set, i.e., "Two Volume Edition".

You should not combine either of you new entries with the single volume edition. You can combine the volumes with any other editions of a two volume set, but you should not, for example, combine Volume I of a 2-volume set with Volume I of a 3-volume set.

Hope that helps :-)

I agree with what Michael says, but do not put "Two Volume Edition".

You can add a librarian note though to specify that is part 1/2 of 2 volumes and not to combine it with the complete novel.

Thanks - have created the books separately and added a note in the description. Will add a librarian note too.

Why not? That seems appropriate in the edition field.

I just never have seen it and it seems like it is not needed. I honestly don't care though.

Also it appears "Centennial Edition" is already in the field and would clutter it. The description area is fine for this.
