EGe (egecita) | 3 comments There are two books I would like to combine however they are not registered as editions of each other. How do I combine them? Here they appear:

EGe (egecita) | 3 comments Yeah, someone heard me? :) Anyways, thank you. But still if someone can tell me how to combine two books ( not editions) I will be glad.

Ren | 688 comments EGe, go to the page of one of the books, the "combine" button is next to "edit details".

Dear Ren, I know how to combine different editions, but sometimes there are two seperate books that are actually editions of each other but not registered so. I don't know what to do in that case. Someone seems to have fixed the book I mentioned but how? :D

Ren | 688 comments I don't understand what you mean by "not registered so". Do you mean that you couldn't find both editions in the combine page? That can happen when the two books don't have the same primary author. For example, in your case, if the translator was mistakenly listed before the author, the author would have to be moved to the top spot before the books were able to be combined. Does this help?

Renske | 12288 comments Books need to be on the same author profile to combine them, which was earlier not the case with these books, one author was incorrect, I edited that.
(I got sidetracked before I could post a message here)
