╟ ♫ Tima ♪ ╣ ♥ (tsunanisaurus) | 66 comments These are all various John Grisham novels in different languages that need help being combined into their proper English titles, I did all the ones I could and these are the rest. Any help people can provide would be great!

I'm sorry to say I'm not 100% sure on the languages.

Darcy (drokka) The first one I believe is Norwegian. At least the publisher is.

I can't help with the other two though


╟ ♫ Tima ♪ ╣ ♥ (tsunanisaurus) | 66 comments Thanks D. I tried using Google Translate on the first one to get my bearings.. publisher came up Norwegian, title came up Swedish and neither translated well enough to help me place it, haha.

Kara (karaayako) | 30 comments The other two are Japanese. I can't help much beyond that to say the first of the two says up in the parentheses and the second says down in them.

Thank you, thank you very much!

Greatly appreciated, Armi!

Which means NEITHER part should be combined with the full book.

We do not link partial books with complete books. This is longstanding GR policy.


╟ ♫ Tima ♪ ╣ ♥ (tsunanisaurus) | 66 comments Didn't know that Rivka, sorry and thanks. I checked the librarian manual section on languages but didn't see anything, I must've missed it.

Every combine page includes the following:
don't combine:

2-in-1 books or boxed sets that include the given book.



╟ ♫ Tima ♪ ╣ ♥ (tsunanisaurus) | 66 comments I guess I interpreted the 2-in1 to mean two completely separate novels, not the same story translated into two books.

Then again, I suppose if a book is split up that way then it would almost have to read like a sequel since it wouldn't be able to just drop off mid-sentence and pick up in a second book.

Thanks for the knowledge..the more you know!
