message 1: by Lydia (new)

Lydia (lunapuella) | 3 comments I have an issue with this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

It is an omnibus edition with the fourth and fifth book in the Chronicles of Prydain series. However, it is currently combined as an edition of the second book in the series (The Black Cauldron). It needs to be uncombined and the series data needs to be changed as well. I've looked through the manual but can't find how to do that - can anyone help?

Coqueline | 33 comments I separated it, and added the series information.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Coqueline, you actually didn't add the series information correctly. It needs to be done like this:

Coqueline | 33 comments Sorry Cait, but where do I open the series for editing? Can't seem to see the link anywhere.

Under the description of the series but before the list of books is a little link that says (edit).

Jim | 2 comments Marguerite Young's book Miss MacIntosh, My Darling includes a two volume edition. Each volume has a different ISBN, but they have been combined with the single volume editions. End result is that I'm unable to add both volumes to my shelves. Is there some way to separate these so I can add them properly?

Volume One

Volume Two

Any experienced librarians who know how to fix this, please do!!

Stefan (schlaus) | 7 comments Hello,
there is an issue with this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
It's Walter Isaacson's 700 page Einstein biography.

However the following (little known) 94 page "coffee table book" also published by Walter Isaacson at the same time is a separate book and should be uncombined from the full biography:
US Edition:

UK:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76...
German:

French:

Thanks!

Natsu | 104 comments Hi, Can someone please uncombine these two books?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...

They are Japanese edition of R.J. Ellory's "A Quiet Belief In Angels," but somehow catalogued as JP ed of "The Sister" & "The Cop" by the same author.

Thanks!
