Arenda | 26448 comments #606 Since one of them has a truncated isbn (isbn13 put in the isbn10 field, missing last three digits) they need to be merged.

Duplicate edition merged.

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments perhaps as much as half the first page (and possibly more beyond that as I didn't check) can be combined.

That makes sense Arenda, I'll think about it. its taken me a year to get this far, I feel like if I became a librarian that might slow my progress down.

I'm leaning towards waiting till all my books are entered, and then we shall see.

I should probably hire help LOL the books would be entered faster for sure.

looks like some of these can be combined as well.

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments Going to go ahead and apologize in advance. I'm noticing a lot of duplication in this part of my calibre library, so its possible that I'll accidentally post the same book twice.

Gotta fix my metadata so that I can find duplicates with a search. too many to remember ALL of them.

Arenda | 26448 comments starting at the bottom

#608-611 done
#612=613 done, even merged the duplicate
#614-616 done
#617 skipped for now, looks like there are different volumes, needs investigating done. The volume numbers are on the covers, so that was easy to figure out.
#618-624 done
#626 done

The link from #628 was not working, but I did find the book. Correct author = Georg, not George.

#642 thanks, I'd already figured out what went wrong with the link

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments There are a whole bunch that are georg with no E out there as well. If it’s supposed to have an E we stumbled into a whole mess more that need fixed.

These are all different volumes. The ones with the complete book are combined.
For the Volume 2 editions: one is volume 2 of 2, the other 2 of 5, and one unidentifiable volume 2.

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments I see that makes sense. Thanks Arenda.

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments Probably the wrong spot, but the description of this one is not in english for an english translation of the book.

What should be done about these?
