The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Zombie Jim The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Zombie Jim by Mark Twain

All of the versions of this have been combined with the actual classic, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

I own BOTH of them, and want them both to list as To-Be-Read. I don't want to switch edition since they're not the same book, despite being huckleberry Finn. One is a spoof type. Mark Twain is listed as an author for credit but there are two authors for obvious reasons (the one who wrote the spoof)

I can't remember how to uncombine. This is one of those cases where these shouldn't be combined though, correct? It is not just another edition of Huckleberry Finn.

And of course reviews and ratings for this spoof are reading as the reviews and ratings for the actual classic when you go to its page.

Renske | 12222 comments I separated the zombie-editions from the original book.

You can added more than one edition of a book to your shelves, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 96 comments Thank you! For some reason I was trying to remember how to uncombine.

Yes I can add more than one edition to my bookshelves, but it was still bugging me it was showing as the same book. I want to see reviews for this edition when I click on it if that makes sense.

Michelle Carey H. | 6 comments I think you "uncombine", when you click on the combine editions button. Then it lets you seperate a book out- I wasn't sure if your questioned was answered in case you ever need to do it!

I am new and hopefully not speaking out of turn... But since I am new, I try to read some posts that may help me with future questions- like the one you ask!!

My example is the dhammpanada- the one I have is written by Gil fronsdale but I did combine it with anonymous- as others had done. But it is written by him, even though the texts are not. But I added mine as another edition then combined with anonymous. It is my understanding that texts like these and the bible etc -? Are contributed to anonymous and then the various editions are added.

I clearly see how yours would be a different version. I am curious- did you still leave mark twain as an author? It sounds like you did. I may not have- being new- so that helps me for future books in similar situation!

Thanks for posting!!
