Lau Maia | 444 comments Hi Tim,

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

Arenda | 26448 comments 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.

I see you made a list for the Portuguese adaptations: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
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...


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #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)


message 5: by Ashby (new)

Ashby Albright | 28 comments 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.


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #7 As you sure know it's always helpful to include links so that others can look into your matter.
And this thread is linked to a specific book, and linked threads should not be used for something completely different
