Francesca | 36 comments Hello! I have two requests. First, can you please combine these two:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Secondly, I added the Italian edition with the blue cover and copied the description, but apparently none of the other editions had descriptions and so the Italian description became the default one... I found the French description on Amazon, so if possible, please add it to the French editions:

L'exposé «en continu» des idées de Glissant sur la littérature et son rapport au monde, sur les variances tragiques des questions identitaires, sur le drame des langues, sur l'imaginaire et le «souffle du lieu» forme un ensemble qui ne se veut pas systématique, mais qui s'accorde au contraire à sa matière : le foisonnement irrésistible, imprévisible et passionnant des relations entre les cultures et entre les humanités dans notre monde actuel. C'est là aussi une occasion d'aborder et de concevoir l'œuvre dans son entier, de La Lézarde et du Quatrième siècle aux poèmes, au Discours antillais et à Poétique de la relation. Un tel exposé ne pouvait qu'emprunter les voies du partage : la discussion avec un auditoire participant, et la dynamique de l'entretien. Selon Édouard Glissant, toute pensée est une pensée-monde.


Thanks!

Reminder: please do not merge author names in different languages. https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...
Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author. Different editions of a book not having the same primary author can cause quite a few distinct problems. Please keep the primary author for all editions of a work the same.


Books combined.

Alexander (andresch) | 13 comments Hey, could someone combine these two books please?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And if possible also these:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

I noticed that for the book in the last link ("Look up for yes"), there are 3 different versions which are not combined/merged. One version doesn't even contain any details and can probably be deleted.
Furthermore, the title of the German version (the book in the third link) contains an unnecessary dot at the end, and "Richard Tayson" is missing as second author.

Thank you!

Michael | 32 comments Does anyone know what is going on with Kay Kenyon's Bright of the Sky? It looks like all of her unique books have been combined as if they are editions of this book.

Here is the editions page: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Here is the librarian log where it appears the author has done this herself on Jan 20 (all work_id's changed to 993717): https://www.goodreads.com/book/edits/...

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Working on 381 ... and done. Authors manage to combine all their works every once in awhile.


message 370: by Michael (new)

Michael | 32 comments Great, thanks!


message 371: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (lettrine) | 400 comments Hi,

Can you combine these 2 different editions please ?


Book #1 : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Book #2 : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


Also, the original title for book #2 is wrong. The original titles for these three books put together in 1 volume are :

- The Road to Los Angeles
- Wait Until Spring, Bandini
- Ask the Dust



Thank you.

Elizabeth | 13 comments Hello, I've found three authors https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (goodreads author) who have, for the most part, the same books, different editions. I'm pretty sure they are all the same author with his name used differently over the years. Is there a quick way to merge them and the books or am I in for a long evening?

message 384: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments #396 It took some time, but both are combined now.


message 385: by lethe (last edited Apr 10, 2015 12:48PM) (new)

lethe | 16359 comments #397 They are already combined.

I take it you meant merge. Has to be done by a super, will post in the appropriate thread.

ETA Here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Francesca | 36 comments Could you please combine these two?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Also, in the second one, I think there's no need to have it mention that it's the fourth edition in the title :)

Thanks!


message 387: by Liralen (new)

Liralen | 8224 comments #400 done, and I moved the edition number to the relevant place :)


message 389: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #401 combined, even merged them (one had an invalid isbn)


message 390: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 95 comments Hello; I'm a librarian but for some reason the books in question don't list when I try to combine them:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thank you so much!


message 391: by Liralen (new)

Liralen | 8224 comments #403 done -- the problem was that they didn't have the same first author listed.


message 392: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 95 comments Thank you so much - now I know!


message 393: by Rafa (new)

Rafa Sánchez | 24 comments Hi friends, I think these following references are the same edition:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

and

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Could you please merge them ? Thanks.

message 396: by John (new)

John (johnnybocc) | 32 comments Please combine:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

and

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

They should both be in the Donald Strachey Series (as #14, not the Donald Strachey Mysteries Series)

Also, these two:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

and

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Again, these should be #13 in the Donald Strachey serires, not The Donald Strachey Mysteries Series.

Thank you!!

L. T. (tiagomatos) | 69 comments Hi! I found two exact editions of the same book. Could you combine them or maybe make it into one, please?
