I can add books to the series, but when I search by the title of parts 3-6 I get no results. Do you have ISBNs for these books?

the same thing happened with me , no I don't have ISBNs

[vicki_girl]

I added them. I added a dummy ISBN and added the books using that. Then I removed the bad ISBN.

As I don't read Arabic, please let me know if anything is incorrect.

anther question that I need to make sure I am on the right path . As I said all these parts are one book , a friend said that actually there is no printable book with the six parts (4000+ pages) , anther said the page numbering continues from a part to part , and may be there is only one ISBN for the whole set .

** So what is more accurate to do : merge the parts as one set as Story of Civilization or keep the series we made ?

N.B
Members keep adding it as parts .

Are the 6 parts sold by the publisher individually, or only as a set?

In either case, please do not add a new series just because the language is different. The series already exists: http://www.goodreads.com/series/54177...

Sorry for the confusion , I am not talking about " story of civilization" , I am talking about the book above and the series I made for :

http://www.goodreads.com/series/88732

" story of civilization" was an example to imitate

The problem I am facing is that these parts were added to Goodreads as independent books and were rated and reviewed by members , and lately I was informed that they are actually set / sets of the book , there is no fixed system related to how the book is divided and that can differ from a publisher to anther (yet all on Goodreads are 6 parts) , also I can't reach any ISBNs .

**So was the series the best solution ? or should the book transformed into sets instead of parts?

If the publisher only sold them as a set, then they should all be merged. If it is sold both as a set and as individual books, then the way it is now looks correct.

If so (I will check and be absolutely sure first), What is the right way to merge them ?

I found this link

still don't know how it can be done , tips are discussing merging books.(will it be done book by book ?)

[vicki_girl]

If it was only sold as a set, here are the steps to merge the parts:

1. Combine each part with the whole set.
2. For each part then do the following
2a. Select edit
2b. Scroll to the bottom and select 'delete this book'
2c. If there are too many adds, post to the following thread for a super to delete it
