Please adjust the series labels on this title

[Jason]

This book is an anthology of short stories by seven different authors. At some point, it was placed into the Lana Harvey reaper series, but because only one of the eight stories in the book is in the Lana Harvey universe, placing the entire book into the Lana Harvey series is misleading and doesn't accurately represent the book as a whole. I've spoken with the author of the Lana Harvey books, Angela Roquet, and she agrees.
The actual series that this book is a part of is "Off the Beaten Path." However, with the re-issue by Prospective Press in August, 2015 (PB ISBN 978-1-943419-01-2 and ASIN B013GPW1NO), the series order should now be:

1) Prospective Press Presents
2) Off the Beaten Path

Will one of the Librarians please make these changes to the series info? Thanks!

When an anthology contains one story belonging to a certain series it is GR policy to add the book to the series.

Prospective Press Presents and Off the Beaten Path do not sound like series according to Goodreads standards, unless all stories contained therein belong to one universe.

(I couldn't find Prospective Press Presents in the database, do you have a link?)

Hi, Lethe

Thanks for responding to my request! The anthology was only just reissued in August of this year by Prospective Press, and a few things are different from the original Indie version that I put together two years ago. Now, we use the overarching title line of Prospective Press Presents to denote our entire anthology series and develop a brand identity separate from our novels and planned short story collections. The specific series is "Off the Beaten Path," and this specific book is the first or volume 1, hence the title Off the Beaten Path 1. Off the Beaten Path 2 will be released later this year, OtBP3 next year, etc. Other anthology series ("Behind the Walls," etc.) will be released concurrently with the "OtBP" series, all under the Prospective Press Presents banner.

Here is a link to our book page, on which you can see the cover for Off the Beaten Path 1 with the 1 visible at the end of the title and the Prospective Press Presents series banner text across the top of the book cover.

I appreciate your time! Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best,

Apologies for the delay in replying.

I personally don't think that these anthology series are series according to Goodreads standards, since they are publisher-based, not author-based. I could be wrong though. GR decisions on what is and isn't a series are not always consistent.

Maybe another librarian (super and/or rivka) will want to weigh in.
