Gerasimos Reads  | 9 comments Hello!
Someone messed the following three series by Cassandra Clare: Magisterium, TLH & Untitled. I don't who or why. They deleted a few of her works they shuffled some of her other works and they destroyed the work that many librarians, I myself as well, have done. I tried to fix the problem but I could not. I don't know what has happened. I tried to create a new series but I can't find her works. I went to my profile (I have marked the books as to-read) and I found them but they do not appear on her page. Here are the titles that have a problem:

If someone could fix this problem it would be very appreciated. I have no idea who did this terrible changes. Thank you in advance.

Gerasimos Reads  | 9 comments Edit: I believe that they have combined all her unpublished works together. I will try to seperate the works & then fix the problem but I am not sure if I will make it due to my limited free time. Thank you again.

Empress (the_empress) Gosh I'm looking at the combined page and books that are parts are combined. Will try to separate some and then I'm gonna look at the links you've posted. There is a lot for combining as well.

Empress (the_empress) Books I found NO information:

Created this series. Might need renaming:

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments "Turtleback Books" seems to be an odd area - no-one seems to hold them other than vendors, and most seem to be missing from WorldCat, which is exasperating. Some places define it as a format, which doesn't help!

Empress (the_empress) Combined and separated whatever I could.
Combined the extras with the books (they appear only on her webpage)

That's all from me. I'm sure there are more stuff to be fixed though.

Edit: There is a bunch of samplers. I have no idea what to do with them. Should they be combined with the books like the extras or stay as they are?
And I'm not sure where this should go: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

And I'm not sure from which book is this an extra:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

All extras on her webpage:

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments I THINK samplers stay separate and shouldn't be combined with the main work as they explicitly do not contain all the same material. Can't find the relevant manual bit at the moment, sorry :(

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Re 4/5: Turtleback Books is a company that takes a paperback book and rebinds it as a hardcover. They're sold to schools and libraries because they are more durable than paperbacks but don't have book jackets like regular hardcovers. They're kind of hard to explain if you've never seen one, when I was in middle and high school and we were given novels to read for a class they were always in the Turtleback format. There's a picture of one here that may help.

For what it's worth I found that edition on the Turtleback Books website, it doesn't have a cover yet.


Re 6: Samplers definitely stay separate. I took care of those 2 extras.

Empress (the_empress) Thanks a lot Vicky! :)
