André (abartholomeu) | 17 comments Hi, guys... Just a little help here, please...
I couldn't find this in "librarians manual", so I need to ask you about what I should do in this situation:
Scott Pilgrim's series is originally made of 6 works:
- Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life
- Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World
- Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness
- Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together
- Scott Pilgrim Vs. the Universe
- Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour

In Brazil, the editor choose to publish this series "combining" the works, 2 by 2, like:
- Scott Pilgrim Vs The World vol 1 (containing Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life and Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World)
- Scott Pilgrim Vs The World vol 2 (containing Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness and Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together)
- Scott Pilgrim Vs The World vol 3 (containing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the Universe and Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour)

I added/changed those 3 brazilian editions (Scott Pilgrim Contra o Mundo, Scott Pilgrim Contra o Mundo: vol.2 and Scott Pilgrim Contra o Mundo: vol.3), but I don't know how I should "combine" them with the original works (and what should I enter information like "original title" and "original publication date", as there are 2 of each one), and how to effectively put them into a series (create a brazilian one? Add to existing one?)

Thanks in advance.

We don't combine a book with the books that make it up, so a book containing volumes 1 & 2 does not get combined with either volume 1 or volume 2 -- but would get combined with any other editions containing both volumes.

I added them to the existing series (as non-primary works): https://www.goodreads.com/series/4062...
