Abdallah Hodieb (ahodieb) | 10 comments سلسلة رجل المستحيلسلسلة رجل المستحيل

this book represents the entire series " سلسلة " this word means series .


and there is already a series for this book http://www.goodreads.com/series/62841

the book wont delete because of all the reviews , so is there a way to combine this book to the series ?

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments Is this book an omnibus edition?


message 3: by Abdallah (new)

Abdallah Hodieb (ahodieb) | 10 comments nop its just like a fan page of the whole series

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

this is the omnibus edition and its combined with this edition

Or a box set? A bundle of books sold together with one ISBN are added as ONE edition.

Abdallah Hodieb (ahodieb) | 10 comments ok i separated the real book from the other 2 fan pang editions is this a correct move ?

nop there was no box set published for this book .

there is this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

which is a book combining some of the series of the books

but the one that should be deleted is just like a fan page , with no actual book.

" المجموعة الكاملة - الجزء الأول "
this means the complete set - part 1


but " سلسلة رجل المستحيل "
means " رجل المستحيل series" which already exists

Empress (the_empress) I see what you mean, but it has pages set, so that would be weird if it is not an omnibus. Maybe you can ask some of the people that has shelved it? Gosh I really have no idea what to say. I just don't want to make judgement.

I think you should contact some of the top librarians in your country and advise with them. It's ok to separate, but please don't delete yet.

Empress (the_empress) Seems like a book to me to be honest: http://www.neelwafurat.com/itempage.a...

Ellie : The book on the page you indicated here is volume I of the collected series.

I don't see why a book should be deleted.

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments I really do think it would help to have a Librarian who understands Arabic help with this one. Because I don't understand that language, it makes it hard for me to do any research on this. Let me see if I can find someone to help with this request.


message 12: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) I think Lafon might be able to help. When he has time. And he is a super librarian

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments For the record "سلسلة" means "series" as Abdallah mentioned. Second, I believe that it should be deleted. I'll do some more research after breaking my fast.

Thanks. :]

Eric (cwluc) | 57 comments Well here's a series in English that needs to be deleted. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14... I have no idea why 45 people have added it. There is no omnibus or anything like it currently available.


message 17: by Monique (new)

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments Eric,

That is an actual book with an ISBN. The title is incorrect but that is not a series placeholder. I'll have to fix the incorrect data on it.


message 18: by Eric (new)

Eric (cwluc) | 57 comments Can you find any more information other than "Comeback Kids: Library Edition"? Not trying to be funny but that doesn't seem like much of a book to me.


message 19: by Monique (new)

Monique (kadiya) | 1097 comments Yes, Eric. There is a specific listing for the ISBN at the Target website, for example.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...


and here is the actual series

Abdallah Hodieb (ahodieb) | 10 comments Merging whole-series placeholders
If a book series is not packaged by the publisher as one item (such as a boxed set), the series should not be created as a fake book. Any user-created series objects should be merged into the boxed set for the series (if available) or the first book of the series (if no boxed set or similar publisher-created series item is available).
