Would someone be able to combine the English translations of this author's books with the correct Arabic titles?
Thanks.

lethe | 16365 comments That's the point, we don't know which translations belong to which book.

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1878 comments Yes. I can't read arabic so I expext for someone that can do that to tell us what books must be combined.

I would expect an Arabic/English reading librarian to just do it themselves.

As a general rule, if you are unable to complete a request made in this group, it is best to just leave it for a librarian who can.

Antonomasia | 514 comments Thanks to the person[s] who combined two of them (French Perfume, Ebola 76). I later managed to combine one (Telepathy) myself with the aid of listings and covers on amazon.com. But two of the English translations, The Korak Council and The Yelling Dowry, still aren't combined with Arabic books. Would someone be able to say whether that's just because the Arabic originals aren't listed on Goodreads? Or do they still need combining?
