Rory (thefauxpoe) | 58 comments Both books need combining and as far as I can tell, there are no other editions present.

lethe | 16371 comments #761 Judging from the page count, I don't think these books should be combined.


message 757: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31591 comments Rory, according to a review on Amazon, the first book has 7 stories, the 2nd one has the same 7 stories plus more short stories, so lethe is correct and they shouldn't be combined.

Codex | 3400 comments #764: All done.
Covers added from Amazon.
Title amended (as indicated).

Please post separate requests instead of editing, which confuses. :-)

Author profiles not combined; not all books belong to the same author. Several books moved to the first profile.

Super: The cover for this edition appears incorrect.
Amazon ref.: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/081...

#785: The Amazon and AbeBooks editions are the print edition. The cover here on Goodreads appears to be the Audible audiobook edition.

Hmm. . . . The respective ISBNs are for print editions; so someone added an incorrect cover.

Codex | 3400 comments #791: Not done.
The second book, allegedly a Kindle edition titled The Tomb (The Original Short Story), does not match the cover title, has no information (ASIN/ISBN[?]) or publishing details, and Amazon cannot find it. Furthermore (going by the cover title), it appears to comprise all works by the author, and should not be combined with a single work.

Oh I see, sorry to label it as such.


message 790: by Rory (last edited Oct 09, 2016 05:58AM) (new)

Rory (thefauxpoe) | 58 comments These two need re-merging

I think this was done by mistake since this version was part of the main editions but someone seems to have seperated them, despite being the same book and as far as I can tell, there's no striking differences with these editions (save one or two duplicates).

So if you could please take a look into it I would really appreciate it.

Sandra | 31591 comments #796 Rory they appear to have entirely different stories in each of the editions, so they should have been separated.


message 792: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26455 comments #795/796 It looks like all editions that have Sherlock Holmes #4 as series in the title field have been separated. Also all illustrated editions are separated, as well as all annotated editions (both according to the combine page). And even two editions that are annotated and illustrated.
I don't see librarian notes indicating that some editions should not be combined.

For the links in #795: the first edition has 11 stories according to Worldcat: http://www.worldcat.org/title/memoirs...
The second link has 12 stories according to Worldcat: http://www.worldcat.org/title/memoirs...

I hope that all editions that are combined have the same 11 or 12 stories.
However, the Dutch edition with the same 11 stories has also been separated from the English edition with 11 stories.
And I'm afraid there might have been more strange separating.

I have spent quite some time on the Sherlock Holmes books before, but don't have the time now for such a large project.

Thanks for letting me know, it just seems odd to me that they are seperated. Granted they are different editions which I can understand (the serialisation of the stories were sometimes misguided) but what gets me is that it's not labelled as part of the same series like the first set of editions.

That's like seperating various translations of a particular foreign work, sure they won't be exactly the same as written, but it's still the same book.


message 795: by George (new)

George | 434 comments Please merge Anthony Appiah, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
with Kwame Anthony Appiah, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
As noted on the latter page and also shown in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwame_A... they are the same person.

Sandra | 31591 comments The combine function isn't working at present. If you have a combine/separation etc you want done, please post your request and when the database is back working, a librarian/s will catch up :)
