Marilou Pelletier | 2 comments Hi!
I am currently reading the Northlanders serie (by Brian Wood) in french (so, sorry for my english!). This serie has been published in a very different order in french than in its original language. Thus, when I wanted to add the first book to the books I have read, I couldn't find it on the site. So I tried to add it manually but then, I discovered that someone already tried to do so but they did not put the right autor (they put Brian MOORE) or publisher (it's Urban Comics) or the full title (in french, it's "Northlanders Tome 1. Le livre anglo-saxon"). I kind of wanted to force my version though but, well, I think I lost some informations (like the cover and the original title and stuff) in the process...

So, I think my addition is not better than the first wrong one (altought I do have the right autor), and I would like to ask someone to erase mine
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

and to correct the first one with the right autor (which I should have ask in the start)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

For reference, this is the page of the publisher site : http://www.urban-comics.com/northland...

Sorry for the mess.
I didn't look if the second and third book in the serie have the same autor problem, but probably. So they might need to be corrected too.

Thank you!!

Arenda | 26450 comments Merged (=deleted) the edition you had created.
Updated the remaining edition, which had the isbn.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

When a book has an isbn, that is usually the best way to search for it.

lethe | 16368 comments Marilou, do you know what the correct order is of the French series? There are also two volumes Sven le revenant calling themselves Northlanders #1 and #2, but according to the series page, they are #1 part 1 and #1 part 2 instead.

It's a bit confusing. Maybe a separate French series should be made.

Marilou Pelletier | 2 comments to Arenda : Thank you very much, that is exactly what I wanted!

Making a separate French series was what I wanted to do in the start. But, well... it didn't work!

The french publisher wanted to reorder the stories in the serie so that they would fit better in space and time. So they published 3 volumes where there are 7 in english.

The first tome is : Northlanders 9-10, 18-19, 1-8, 41 and 11-16
The second is : Northlanders #29, #20, #35-36, #42-50
The third is: #17, 21-28, 30-34, 37-39, 40

The information for the 2 last books are here:
Le livre islandais
http://www.urban-comics.com/northland...

Le livre européen
http://www.urban-comics.com/northland...


I hope it help. Thanks again!!

Oh, and for the two volumes "Sven le revenant", I have no idea where they come from. As much as I know, they are included in the first tome (the one that you already corrected!).

lethe | 16368 comments #4 The two other books were already in the database. Have added French series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1798... and cross-linked with the original: https://www.goodreads.com/series/5862... (also corrected the series numbering for Sven le revenant).

Hope everything is clear like this.
