The Portugese editions for which the series was made are adaptations, and should not be combined with the original books.Finding them is more difficult now the series has been deleted.
I found the adaptation for Around the World in Eighty Days, and separated it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
and left a librarian note that it is an adaptation and should not be combined with the original.

Lists are edition specific. On a series page, the default edition of a book is showing. On a list you can choose a specific edition.
These editions don't belong on that list:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- ttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54479.Aro...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
They should be replaced with these editions (that I separated from the originals they were incorrectly combined with):
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And another one missing from the list: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
#4 Lau did mention she made a list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... (which I looked up ...)- unfortunately with some wrong editions on it - but at least some can be noted as adaptions.
(caution Lau: the series page shows the most shelved edition not exactly the one that should be on a list, the list only works with exact that edition you enter)
I am working with my card-filing to complete some entries and as I was adjusting my lists on goodreads to add new purchases I noticed that Antagonist was listed as #12 here. I double-checked on fantastic fiction website because they have very good lists for orders and saw it was #11 there. I couldn't tell the difference between the two until I noticed that a compendium book "The Dorsai Companion", which is not part of the true series, was listed as #8. This needs to be changed and I'm not sure, even with my librarian status how to change this.


So I'm doing this 3 series, they're in different stages but all are to be deleted. Thanks Tim
