Atleast two, maybe all three.

The first five appear to be the same book, one just with the books original publication date in the title.

the third one looks to be the same as the first two, but they tweaked the title a little bit. Looks like their marketing team was trying to capitalize on the authors name posthumously.

Also I think he mostly went by C.H. Spurgeon. Not sure what he wrote under, but thats how he was called in life.

Three, not sure about the fourth. same author, and probably 2/3s the same content.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12740 comments #55 I combined the first six, they seem the same. Rest Done as requested.
#56 if you meant the Raymond Oliver Faulkner text, Done
#57 Done
#58 I realized I don't have time to do an half hour research for each of your requests. I'll combine to the majority name unless there is a good reason not to do so.
#59-61 Done
#62 seems the same as #61
#63 Combined proper volumes only
#64 these are not the same. Some are summaries of the book or based on the book. If you think I missed any, repost
#65-66 Done
#67-68 combined three, the other is a two in one book

That's all from me tonight.

#56 - yup, thank youi.
#58 I appreciate all the help. I'll be an annoyance for at least another couple months at this rate. I personally am not super concerned if your database is 100%, so if me pointing things out is a problem, I don't have to. It would probably speed things up. Not trying to be a jerk here, sorry if I am.
#62 - yup my bad. Hard to keep everything straight.
#64 - you got em all. I didn't realize that first one was only the first three chapters. Looks like 169,000 other people didn't either. Stuff like that is annoying.

Thanks David!

David Raz (davidraz) | 12740 comments Re #58 I actually meant the opposite. If you have done the research and are certain of something, point it out and I will try to correct it. I'm just saying that considering the amount of work here, I can't realistically do more than the minimum research.

#70-75 Done

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments I hear you there. I feel like I can send up a flare indicating there is trouble but more than that - and even that - slows me down a lot.

I managed to link 1500 books to calibre and uploaded csvs with a little over 2500 titles.

But I also found a folder on my hard drive with a metric ton more books. Am now at ~27000 titles remaining.

My Life and work. At least 5 or 6. Looks like mostly different covers.

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments So... How do I add a book that has an image for a title, written by a man who used only initials JLB. No ISBN. No library of congress number, no world cat ID.

Its just an image and initials. Weird no?

I had this with some poetry books in Hebrew. I used the author as the title.

Ken (jsschrstrcks) | 780 comments Thats interesting that you have hebrew poetry books. I have a few myself... I'm not to them yet... BUT its good to know what to do when I get there.

I'll add that book in the manner you suggest. Thanks! :)
