Jennifer Connolly | 5 comments This book also needs to be reclassified as as a paperback. It is not available in hardcover. The following info is from the publisher's website. Shouldn't the translator info be included in the Metadata as well?

SAINT TERESA OF AVILA
The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila,
Volume 1

Translated by Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD, and Otilio Rodriguez, OCD Contains Book of Her Life, Spiritual Testimonies, and Soliloquies.
Includes general and biblical index.

ISBN 0-9600876-2-1
ICS Code: ST
420 pages, paper

Publisher's page: http://www.icspublications.org/bookst...

Goodreads page:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Also, for some reason if you post an update about this ISBN and publish it to Facebook, Goodreads is selecting a completely different edition of Teresa's autobiography which is inappropriate because this is an entirely different translation and this title also includes some of her other works. I'm not sure where I should note that fact so please direct me if this is the wrong spot. Thanks!

 Rosebud (rosebuds) I changed to paperback and inserted the page count but am not sure about the rest of what you're asking so I'm not going to go any further myself.
Leaving for another librarian to complete.

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments concerning the facebook is issue: it is going to post the most popular edition, regardless of language or which edition you have chosen...(speaking from personal experience)

Jennifer Connolly | 5 comments Thanks Rosebud! That was superfast :)

Deon, thanks for the insight! That's a shame it lumps all these editions together. Translations are unique works in themselves and should really be treated as such and same with books that contain critical analysis and/or new introductions. It's a unique work. Oh well. I guess I will be linking to the Amazon edition on Facebook so folks know what I'm actually talking about!
