Not a Series by GR Standards?

[Melanie]

So, I'm thinking these are not a series by GR standard.
Should the series' be deleted?

I guess you are right. But I prefer wait for some more experienced librarian or the staff.

I do not think this is a legit series.

The ones grouping all the guides together are not a seies but policy is to use the series function to group editions of the same travel guides

I had understood the policy was to group only individual titles of travel guides together in a series, not all titles of a particular guide (although it does look good).

ETA Wasn't it the intention though to keep individual titles with different editors together?

I am not sure that this is a series per se:

Can someone check and possibly delete? Thanks

If the publisher is named in the title, you can be pretty sure it's a collection, not a series according to GR :)
I'm working on moving the series information to the edition field and then deleting the series.

I believe GR does not regard collected works of one author as a series either, but I'll leave that one for someone else.

[Moloch]

I'm going to delete https://www.goodreads.com/series/1694... then, if no one objects

edit: deleted

Opinions on this "series":

As I can see it, it looks like an imprint as not all editions of listed titles seem to fit the series.

Agreed.

Series or imprint?

Ew. Half-n-half to me, but probably imprint. Would want another opinion though... :)

[lethe]

#14-15 I'd say imprint. These 'longer stories and essays' have nothing in common except being published as 'Solos'. The clue is in the name :)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Based on the description on the publisher page, definitely an imprint.

I'm also afraid that the combining is a mess

[Moloch]

number 18?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

The combining presumably does need fixing. But using a series to link parts of a book broken into pieces is fine.

[Melanie]

Is this a series? Doesn't sound like one by GR standards.

Nope, that's a publisher's series/collection, only valid for the Finnish edition.

[Lobstergirl]

I have my doubts this is a real series.

[Lobstergirl]

21 needs to be deleted.

Nope. According to Google Translate it means White Series in Estonian, so it does not count for all editions in all languages. The Estonian editions are all published by Sinisukk, so it's a publisher's collection.

Is this a series? The author herself calls this a collection of stand-alone, completely unrelated novels inspired by fairytales.

#21/22/24 Added imprint info to edition field for Finnish editions and deleted the series.

Appears to apply to all editions of each work, and they have a reasonably coherent "series" as far as non-fiction works go -- considerably more than a common them.

[Melanie]

I'm not 100% on these, so I thought I would ask. Are these considered a series? Or is this more of a publisher's series?

Hard to know without more information. They may have characters or a setting in common.

That description does not rule out a common universe, which is fairly common when authors do fairytale rewrites.

[lethe]

OK, thanks :)
