Michael (michaeljsullivan) | 7 comments I've made a series to group all the Czech Republic versions of my group it can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/series/96445...


All three books are assigned to me (Michael J. Sullivan) and also the translator (Jana Rečková)

I added one book to the group - but when I try to add the other two, I can't find them in the list - I've tried searching everyway I can think of and I can't get the search to find them. Here are the three books that I need in that series:

Any hellp you could give me would be helpful. Thanks.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I was able to find them by ISBN and add them, but I don't think it's necessary... Goodreads policy is to combine book translations of all languages.

If Královské spiknutí, Avempartha, and Vzestup Nyphronu are the same as The Crown Conspiracy, Avempartha and Nyprhon Rising - these books should be combined and all languages would be found in the original series. The same goes for the other language translations and, at a glance, it seems that this is the case for all the translations.

The only time we do not combine editions is when a translation of one volume is published in multiple volumes.

Michael (michaeljsullivan) | 7 comments Ah thanks - I'll have to do some research - This series was published two different ways

1 - had 6 books the other 3 (2-book) omnibus versions. Some of the foreign contracts are doing the "trilogy" and some are doing the "six book version). To further complicate things...they don't necessarily follow the right naming convention. I'll look at them and get them assigned to their correct books.
