محمد الملا (almullaonline) | 82 comments I got here the same book series (HBR's 10 Must Reads Series) distributed between two author


1) Harvard Business Review
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


2) Harvard Business School Press
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

All books are mixed up between them like these two identical copy of the same book:
HBR'S 10 Must Reads: The Essentials
https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...

What the right thing to do here ?

Empress (the_empress) All books that have known author's or editors should not have either Harvard Business Review or Harvard Business School Press as author. So the thing to do is to start amending those first.

The next thing to do is to find the editors or authors for all other books in these profiles.

Also I don't think "HBR's 10 Must Reads Series" is considered to be series on Goodreads.

Agreed. Sounds more appropriate for a Listopia.

محمد الملا (almullaonline) | 82 comments Waw, that's a lot of work, a huge amount of work


- Harvard Business School Press: 411 distinct works
- Harvard Business Review: 178 distinct works
# Total: 589 works

+ Most of them is like a collections of articles written by more than one writer

What to suggest about this ?

محمد الملا (almullaonline) | 82 comments Here is a great example of duplicate work

HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations

-One linked to the author
- One linked to HBR with press
- One linked to HBR without press

Fixed the author on that one and combined.

These belong in the Looking for a Project Folder:

That is a true statement. You can just starts by scanning for books with authors here and amend few per-week. It is not a work that has to be done ASAP. Or by you. Sometimes a project can take months.

Doesn't matter what an external sources says. The question is if this is a series by Goodreads standards. Here is what the manual has to say about that. Additionally you can ask for further opinion on the series here even though lethe already advised in comment 3 that she agrees with me.
My advice is that you create a listopia if you want to keep the works connected as you don't know when the series pages will be deleted.
