Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Title: 78 Degrees Of Wisdom : A Book of Tarot : Part 1: The Major Arcana

Also, the other part, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Title: 78 Degrees Of Wisdom : A Book of Tarot : Part 2: The Minor Arcana and Readings

Should this book be serialized?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Corrected and separated. No, I don't believe this is a case for a series.


message 3: by Halvor (Raknes) (last edited Aug 23, 2016 05:06AM) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments In this version they are both combined:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Also, the number of pages isn't correct (see Amazon)


message 4: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Amazon has 354, WorldCat 368. No idea which is correct, unless you happen to have that edition?

Yes, all the connected editions there seem to have both parts, that's why I separated the ones with only one part each.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments I don't think it's right to have them separated from the one-volume edition.


message 6: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments As far as I know, if they don't have the same content they are not combined. If I am wrong, someone will correct it.

From the manual: "don't combine:
2-in-1 books or boxed sets that include the given book."

Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments This is not a 2-in-1 book. It's the content of one book split into two volumes.

The first part volume is 178 pages, per Amazon (please correct this)
The second part volume is 208 pages, both per WorldCat and Amazon (please correct this)

Just to make an argument, which should be redundant, adding those two page counts comports with the page count of the complete edition. (In message #3 I was referring to the page count of the two split editions, which all state 2 pages.)


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments OK then! The one-volume edition was published the year before the two split editions. I suppose had it been the other way around there would have been grounds for creating a series?

A series can be created for the 2 parts, but the full volume should not be a series element -- but can be linked in the series description.


Halvor (Raknes) | 4772 comments Can you do that, please so that it will be convenient for readers to locate the other alternative?

Done, but please start a new thread next time as this one is attached to a particular book; thanks.
