Corrected author name and combined the editions; they're all valid, some were just split because of the inclusion of the middle initial (or not).

Arenda | 26447 comments #23/17 done: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Both book 1 and part 1 were used for the same content, and for different content. Marked the editions with part 1 of the 10 part 'series' as part 1, and the 'complete' book as book 1.
(Based on page count/word count, info from description, identical covers for ebook/kindle, and current availability).

message 40: by Arenda (last edited Feb 11, 2018 07:00AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #32 Currently book 1, book 2 and book 3 are combined with editions that contain all three books in one book/set.

Question is: how are/were these books available. As one book?
As three books? Three books separately or only as a set?

If they were avalaible as one book, there should only be one listing for them, with the total page count.
If they were available as one set of three books, then there should only be one listing.
If they were available as separate books (you could buy one book without having to buy both other books), then these books should be separated from the complete #1-3 editions, after which it will be possible to create a series for them.

From what I can see the covers for all three look identical, which supports the theory that they were only available as one book.

ETA: another question is, if it is actually a series.
The other editions for book 1: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1..., book 2: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and book 3: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... are not linked in a series.

Ali Zarezade (alizarezade) | 12 comments # 40
Actually they are three books in a box. Also, the page numbers in vol2 start from last number in vol 1, and so on.
So, they should be deleted? because there exist a duplicate three volumes set:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

But maybe combining each vol in #32 with each separate books that you mentioned be a good idea!?
Because it seems the original book also has a box set edition and a separate three vol edition.

Thanks for responding.

The three Persian editions should be merged into the Persian box set edition. (=separating these four editions from the other editions, merging the separate books, and recombine the box set with the other box set editions, see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...). If you want to merge them, go ahead. If you'd rather have me merge them for you, please say so.

Because it seems the original book also has a box set edition and a separate three vol edition
That is only when they were also published as both a box set and as separate books. When there is only a box set, the separate books should not be added.
