Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Black Dagger Brotherhood series by this author has one series with one German edition book in series at http://www.goodreads.com/series/10607...

21 German language books at http://www.goodreads.com/series/59190... (might be okay to leave the German series but those German editions do need to be combined with their original English language works if the series book numbering, which differs from numbering in parentheses in book titles, is correct.)

and an 18 book series at http://www.goodreads.com/series/41963... (which actually does a good job in series description of listing series name in other languages).

Given the number of languages for series title, I suspect a lot of foreign language editions are missing.

Renske | 12222 comments The series with one book is deleted and that book is added to the right series.

The two other series are correct, as each book is split in two books in the German translation. The numbering is also correct, as according to the note the German publisher has numbered those books as 1,2,3,...

I just meant that in the German series, numbers in parentheses say things like "2.1" but series information calls it Book 3 so the numbers were not matching. I did not know if one number or the other was trying to match back to English language editions. Just looked odd.
