Is this a series?
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1023...is "having to do sth with wedding" enough for a non-fiction series?
and this one https://www.goodreads.com/series/1412... the topic seems to be journaling in general ... and every book has a different subtopic ...(I personally would spontanouesly think "listopia" but I'm quite often wrong with these nonficton ones...)

this is "just" a reading step thing too https://www.goodreads.com/series/6965... but these bears would be common characters I think ... so all these different bear ones should be o, shouldn't they? (or do they belong to the "main" bearstain series without all these subseries?)
Mod
Borderline but ok.
Mod
But the step info should come out of the title field. Probably the description field is the best place for it.
rivka wrote: "Lachgas wrote: "are these childrens reading learning stages something that makes a series?"No."
eeew ...there are even more of them then I thought ...
but ok, deleteing all the stages ones and stripping of the info from the title..
This Oxford Reading Tree is an Imprint? https://www.goodreads.com/series/7827... and therefore belongs to the edition field? (whew, that'll be a big one, project folder I'm coming)
but does anyone know if this "magic key" thing is a series? https://www.goodreads.com/series/7840... or is that just an imprint too? or just nothing? (I'm really not into book series for such small children)
Mod
I think the Magic Key books have kids in common, but I'm not certain.
Greek tragedies: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1857...As per Tim not all editions are part of the series.

Lachgas wrote: "do we group journals as series? https://www.goodreads.com/series/1146..."Policy-wise, it's unclear, but as practice it seems to be common with short-story periodicals.
It seems their only link is that they are Christmas themed spanking stories that were subsequently published as an anthology?https://www.goodreads.com/series/1944...

Those remind me of the Dreamspinner collections, which are not series and are made into lists.
Ex:
Never Too Late: Dreamspinner Press 2015 Daily Dose
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
Sleigh Ride: Dreamspinner Press 2015 Advent Calendar
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
Blushing Books is a publisher. https://www.blushingbooks.com
Here's for the 12 Days of Christmas anthology - http://blushingbooks.com/index.php?l=...

That's exactly what I was thinking, but wanted to double check :)
this looks like a publishers imprinthttps://www.goodreads.com/series/210739
translates to
International novels for the pocket
Important Note: Most of the novels in this series are compressed and abbreviated
that seems to be an imprint? https://www.goodreads.com/series/2075...(and even if not, it's named wrong - the #29 is obviously more the number of the publisher in its "series")
#421 - Not sure but have edited the title as that was definitely wrong :)
I know I'm often wrong with this non-fictional ones ... is that more listworthy or a series?https://www.goodreads.com/series/1972...

that one looks more like kind of collection of some argentinian authors (and the should be different universes I'd say as far as I recognize some titles...)

The series seems to have been published in English as Introducing... and ... for BeginnersThe ... for Beginners one uses the same cover layout as the Spanish one: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
There is also this page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1913...
Mod
Which are two separate "series", not a single one.
So one publisher uses the title "Introducing" and the other "for Beginners". They are still the same books, with alternative series titles.
Mod
Why don't.you cataloging this series like this:By V .Gilbert Beers /Robert Boehmer, ill.
God is My helper (Zondervan
Cynthia, I may be sleepy but I didn't understand.
I'm a new librarian, so this may be a faq, but I'd like some clarification of series. Specifically, are the Amazon Audible books a true Goodreads series, such as this:https://www.goodreads.com/series/1870...
Thanks

David, no. One of the hallmarks of a Goodreads fiction series is that all the editions of a book would belong to the series. That is not true in this case. This is more like a publisher series and does not belong as a series here on Goodreads.
Just to be clear. There are other requirements for a series on Goodreads, but for this, I can and am keying off of the "all editions" condition to help make the decision.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice and help!
https://www.goodreads.com/series/5776... ??This pages says:
Tomes of the Dead, not a single shared world, but a series of stand-alone zombie stories marked by subversion or reinterpretation of the genre.[7]
Could not find info o the publisher site but seems like an imprint to me.
Publisher: http://www.abaddonbooks.com
I'm totally not the Fantasy type of person and even less a Star Wars person so I might be wrong there but that can't be a series? https://www.goodreads.com/series/1779...Not all editions are Paperbacks or is there a value in that series so that it just need a renaming?
according to the log it had another name at the beginning, but impossible to see when it got changed or by whom. And I don't have the knowledge to judge if the other name is better/more valid/still fitting.
Mod
They definitely appear to be a sequence, so this seems likely.

The series looks fine, the name is a bit off. These are comic collections: Several issues collected in TPB format, but they are often republished in hardcover. And this being GR, nearly every time you look at one, it's got one or more of the individual issues incorrectly combined in there too. That said, I don't know what else you'd call it to differentiate it from all the other Star Wars series. (They're all also part of this, for instance, which is much more tenuously a series, although all part of a single universe: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1504... )
I think this is an imprint? It appears to be a publisher/imprint for shifter romances.
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2013...
Main site: http://howlsromance.com
And one of the blurbs on a book says:
"Part of Celia Kyle’s Howls Romance line."
Line usually implies a sort of imprint or some such.
Thoughts?
#443 yes its an imprint and I've deleted it. I've read a couple of the books and confirm that they don't share a world or characters.
that's not a series isn't it?`https://www.goodreads.com/series/1743...as far as I remember the princesses are quite different characters and Arielle is in a different universe than Snow White...
#447 C.H. Beck is a german publisher - I would consider that as kind of imprint/things publisher call a "series" ... it's just "C.H. Beck's knowledge" series ... more a listopia kind of thing I'd say or something that may go to the editon field if they are really numbered that way...+ it does have editions that don't belong there like here https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... Cambridge Press is a different publisher than C.H. Beck :) so IMO no way that's a series
I assume that's not a series? https://www.goodreads.com/series/6958... but eventually sth to go to the edition field?(I'm still dealing with the oxford tree stuff so no time for that)
but I'm not that sure about this one: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1533... doesn't look like they have anything in common than being from the imprint "Women of Faith"
looked on one of the books under the "women of faith" author https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... in amazons look inside and it seems to be an imprint of the Thomas Nelson publisher.
Or is "study guides" enough for making a series?
hm that seems to be a weird one too ... https://www.goodreads.com/series/1549... and a kind of ... weird description (I can read them by myself?! eh what?)
https://www.goodreads.com/series/163814I don't understand if they are just Greek translations of Lovecraft's stories (so, no series) or something else
I don't think these books have anything in common as far as characters or story. It is just a list of books Heinlein wrote for younger readers:https://www.goodreads.com/series/1273...

No, that's another reading step one, and still not a series.
