Burcu (wanderlustpress) | 15 comments Hi. I've come across this issue several times by now and there are too many seemingly-related posts that don't necessarily answer my question. So here we go: Some books have many translations, and I don't really personally care what shows up in my own profile (whether the org, the Eng. or the Turkish, my native). However, I think there's an issue when it appears in Sanskrit (Arabic, Persian etc.) which makes it less easy for a majority of the users to determine what the work is (Correct me if I'm wrong as I by no means tend to prioritise one language or alphabet over the others). Is there any way I can fix this as a librarian, or should I ask someone with more privileges?

For instance, please see: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

Thanks for the help!

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The default edition is the one most shelved - unless the author is a GR Author then they can if they want set the default one that they want it to be/ If the author is not a GR author then the default edition remains the the one most shelved


Elizabeth (Alaska) The edition linked is the one with the most shelvings, so it seems, to me, perfectly proper for it to be the default edition.
