Please separate!

[Beatriz]

Could you please separate this book from the rest of editions? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Although the tittle is similar (the oldest one being "Seré frágil (Autoedición)" and the newest "Seré frágil"), the content of the books is different.

Thanks!

Separated and left a librarian note. However I can't guarantee that another librarian won't recombine them, just because of the titles.

I understand, I will change the tittle of the oldest one :) Thanks!

That still may not stop it happening as the original title will still be here on Goodreads. We don't remove books, we're like a library.

Could you, or a librarian, add a disambiguation note detailing difference in content?

[Sandra]

Well I don't read (or speak) the language, but I could tell the difference in the character names. Story is about different people.

It really needs someone who can read the blurbs.

I removed Autoedición from the title of the old edition, because it does not appear on the cover and as far as I know, means something like "self-published". That does not belong in the title field.

Also, this is the old description:

"Grace Montgomery se odia.
A pesar del amor de su pareja, de sus amigos, de su familia, nunca se ha sentido suficiente. Todo empieza a cambiar tras la muerte de su compañera de clase, Hanna, después de años luchando contra la anorexia. La joven deja su diario en manos de Grace antes de morir. A través de sus palabras, Grace conoce los misterios de su pasado, mientras su presente se va contagiando de la mentalidad enferma de Hanna."

And this the new:
"Sara Soler se odia. A pesar del amor de su pareja, de sus amigos y de su familia, nunca se ha sentido suficiente.

Todo empieza a cambiar tras la muerte de su compañera de clase, Sofía, después de luchar durante años contra la anorexia. En su funeral, los padres de Sofía le entregan a Sara el diario de su hija, asegurándole que lo han encontrado bajo una nota con su nombre. A través de sus palabras, Sara empieza a conocer los misterios de su pasado, mientras su presente se va contagiando de la mentalidad enferma de Sofía."

The only things changed are the names. That is what GR calls a revised edition, and both the old and the new editions should be combined IMO.

(If it is not a revised edition but a completely new book, why give it the exact same title?)

Okay, let me explain! The descriptions are the same, indeed, but the story itself has changed a lot -even though the premise has not, the idea is the same but the storyline changes- so I thought it was better to separate them. The only thing I did mantain was the tittle.
Also, the oldest one was a self-published work (currrently not avalaible) and the new one is being published by an Spanish publishing house. I consider them to be different enough to treat them as two different and individual books. If the problem is the description, I can change it in order to avoid confusions.
I don't know if I'd explained it well, but I would really appreciate if both books remain separate as they are now :)

I think that according to Goodreads policy they should be combined. The description is not the problem, it just makes clear it is a revised edition and not a whole new book. The new edition can be made the default, and have 'revised edition' added.

But I'll leave it for Rivka to decide :)

That sounds like a revised edition to me as well.

Combined. Set new edition as default.

Me three.
