Books by Publisher? How to add Caxton-Junior-Classics?

[Lisa Kay]

I received the following emails. The second is after I asked for more info. These books seem to be in GR's database, but I'm not sure if they are there by this publisher. They look to be collectible as a set; however, she would like them entered individually. I'm not sure how to search (looks to be extensive). Nor how you handle an issue like this:

Hiya,

I thought you'd be the best person to ask as I don't have a clue. I have a set of books (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Caxton-Junior... ) that I've had for a while and haven't been able to put them on here because I can't find them. Do you know if there's a way to find books by certain publishers etc? I'm not sure if it's the fact that they're so old (I think from the 60's) that maybe there missing isbn numbers or something. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Elishia

Found this list:

1) BLACK BEAUTY ... BY ANNA SEWELL, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

2) TOM SAWYER ... BY MARK TWAIN, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

3) ROBIN CRUSOE ... BY DANIEL DEFOE, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

4) HANS ANDERSEN (says Fairy Tales on the spine) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-m... BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

5) WATER BABIES ... BY CHARLES KINGSLEY, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

6) TREASURE ISLAND ... BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

7) ALICE IN WONDERLAND ... BY LEWIS CARROLL, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

(ONE FRONT PICTURE PAGE IS A BIT LOOSE BUT STILL ATTACHED)

8) HEIDI ... BY JOHANNA SPYRI, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES MOZLEY

ALL THESE BOOKS WERE PRINTED IN 1968

Let me know if you want me to take pics of the covers if that's easier than you having to look for them.

Unfortunately, there is no publisher search. I think the only way to see if they are here is to look through all the editions, which I know is a huge pain for classics that have been printed a billion times.

[Lisa Kay]

Drat! Well, thanks, Scott. Even looking by illustrator didn't help narrow it down.

i would venture to guess that because they don't have ISBN's they might not be in the database. I have looked for 1-4, & have not found them.
I would go ahead and add them

[Lisa Kay]

I think I will add them. She is going to take pictures of the covers.

Next question, is there a way to make they part of a "series" or something like that, without connecting them to the other books by other publishers? Or should I just provide hyperlinks to a list?

Listopia
Add them to a list before you combine them, or you might never find them (being without an ISBN)

Thanks!
