Sylvie (sylview) | 189 comments To delete into one I've separated:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

and then recombine with other Stenhuggaren/Stonecutters.


message 208: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl This seems to have been trying to be an English edition before it was trying to be a French edition (publisher Flammarion) - so either do or don't merge

into
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/87...

but it does need to be merged into something.

Stephen | 15 comments This book has been added twice, one of the copies has miss-spellings in both the title and author, so is linked to the wrong author as well, but has the same isbn and description.

This is identified as the short story within the collection of the same name. Can be deleted, no? At any rate if it's to be kept, it needs to be separated from the rest.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I got 244.

For 245... I've never read The Things they Carried, but from what I'm reading it doesn't seem like the kind of collection where you would publish the stories on their own. I'll wait for a second opinion because I'm not sure - but I think it can go.

Rinou | 101 comments The Hangover is a DVD.

The Hangover is a DVD with a little booklet with quotes from the film, so I don't know what to do with it.

According to Wiki:

The Things They Carried is a collection of related stories by Tim O'Brien...

Before publication in 1990, five of the stories [from the collection The Things They Carried]: "The Things They Carried," "How To Tell A True War Story", "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong," "The Ghost Soldiers," and "The Lives of the Dead", had been published in Esquire [magazine]. "Speaking of Courage" was originally published (in heavily modified form) as a chapter of O'Brien's earlier novel Going After Cacciato.

"The Things They Carried" was also included in the 1987 volume of The Best American Short Stories, edited by Ann Beattie.

"The Things They Carried" was also included in the Second Edition of Literature: Approaches to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama by Robert DiYanni.

While the story has been published separately, it does not appear to have been published on its own. Therefore, I think it should be merged.

Deleted the first and NAB'd the ISBN.

Since the second is classified as a "Kit", and has only been added by the publisher, I deleted it and Nab'd the ISBN for this one as well.

Re 250: At first blush, it appears to be an alternate cover. However, I can't find any evidence that the correct ISBN was ever published with the blue cover. At this point I am not sure if it is better to merge with the edition with the correct ISBN, or an edition with the same cover.

A Hemingway short story. I don't see any evidence this was published on its own. It seems to be included in several collections, including The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway.


message 247: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 2442 comments Got 272-273

Re 273: One person did have it shelved. It needed to be combined with the correct edition first, then merged.
