Twyla Meeus (joviee) | 16 comments I wanted to add a Dutch edition to a book that I'm reading but it didn't work because I'm obviously not a librarian. Could anyone combine these two books? They're the same except the one I made is the Dutch edition. I'd like to the it for the rest of the series too so that other people can also add it to their lists. So if anybody wants to help with that, I can create the Dutch editions of part of the pokemon book series.

Twyla, that would be fantastic -- thank you for adding the information about those editions. Just post links to the new records in this group once you've added them and a librarian will combine them.

Is it a problem that the pictures I add aren't that good quality? I took them with my own camera because I can't find them online but I like it when a book on goodreads has a picture.

I'm reading the series at the moment, so I'll be posting the Dutch edition whenever I start the next book.

Not a problem at all, it is better than leaving the book coverless, and if a better image is found, we can always replace it.

Combining done.

I think that's the last book that was translated to Dutch because the rest of my collection is in English too and I can't find them in Dutch online either.

Twyla Meeus (joviee) | 16 comments Ok this isnt about combining a book but its still about the pokemon books..
This one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... has a wrong author. It was written by Howard Dewin, like the cover says. Can anybody fix that?

message 24: by Ella (new)

Ella Fearne (EllaFearne) | 2 comments Hi there,
The Safe Word by Karen Long appears to have 2 different versions - one because it is published through Createspace, and one because it is the kindle version. Please can you combine both versions so the reviews/rankings etc are in the same place? It would be really helpful!

Here they are:

message 30: by Twyla (new)

Twyla Meeus (joviee) | 16 comments I've found this book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and I have a book that has the same ISBN number but the description is different. It says it's a series of books but it's only one little booklet.
Can this be fixed and corrected or should I just add another edition?


message 31: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 30, i'm guessing the description needs to be fixed. it would help if you could link to a description that IS correct for that book. also, any chance you could upload a cover image? that would help justify the change.


message 32: by Twyla (new)

Twyla Meeus (joviee) | 16 comments I have the cover image scanned on my computer and I'll write the description here, does that work for you?


message 33: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments that would be great! just upload the cover image to something i can access and include a URL to it here along with the description.


message 34: by Twyla (new)

Twyla Meeus (joviee) | 16 comments I think easiest is if I just post the pic to my FB, make it public and you can copy it from there.

Description is:

Enchanting verse and prose from the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh

Since 1926, when A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-pooh with E.H. Shepherd's celebrated illustrations was first published, the world of Pooh has been a source of enchantment and adventure for young and old alike. Included in this volume are the story in which Pooh was first introduced and poems from Milne's delightful collection When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six.

message 41: by Connie (new)

Connie Chaplin (motionintheironsea) | 12 comments I've noticed that the edition of the book I read (spanish) is combined, but when I checked the original my rating doesn't show, do they need to be combined?

Ren | 688 comments #42 seems combined already.

Connie, you have both the Spanish edition and this edition shelved, the latter with no rating.


message 44: by Connie (new)

Connie Chaplin (motionintheironsea) | 12 comments ooh but isn't the rating valid for every edition, since it's the same book?


message 45: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Yes, but when you have two editions shelved it confuses things. If you remove that second edition from your shelves, the rating will show up for you on all editions. (But as a rating for a different edition for every edition but the one you actually rated).


message 46: by Connie (new)

Connie Chaplin (motionintheironsea) | 12 comments aahh got it now, thanks! :)
