Can be combined. Also (seperate book):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
AND (third unique book)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Fourth unique book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
https://www.goodreads.com/search?sear...The first five appear to be the same book, one just with the books original publication date in the title.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?sear...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.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?sear...Three, not sure about the fourth. same author, and probably 2/3s the same content.
#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!
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
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.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?sear...My Life and work. At least 5 or 6. Looks like mostly different covers.
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.
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! :)
