#468 - Had nothing that needed done, think you confused the link with #469 if that is what you are refering to.

Paulus | 8 comments Hi,
A question to librarians which are more experienced than I am.
How to organize (combine/separate) books which where originally published as separate works (and as a series, see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_M...), and are now published either separately or in omnibuses which contain (per edition/language) different subsets of the series? I came across this issue when looking at Roger Martin du Gare, especially his "Les Thibaults" series of 8 books. See https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
Another example of this issue is the "Á la recherche du temps perdu" series of Marcel Proust https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

Please advise, thanks. Paulus

Sandra | 31525 comments The 8 books, should be a series, 1 to 8.

If the works were published separately, they should still be separate. If they've been combined incorrectly, they should be separated.

Omibuses can be added to the series using the appropriate book numbers, but should never be combined with a single work that was published by itself. Also when looking at the edit series page you'll notice a box to the right hand side - omnibuses do not get a tick.

Hope this helps :)

Paulus | 8 comments Thanks for your guidance, 'Les Thibault' has been added as a series now, primary works and omnibuses added.


message 472: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31525 comments Well done Paulus.

I think the 2 book #8's should be combined. Especially as it is an 8 book series and is showing as 9 books :)

The rest of it looks excellent!!


message 473: by Paulus (new)

Paulus | 8 comments The 9 books showing is probably cache issue with Goodreads, as I only marked 8 books as primary works. You're probably right about the #8's. I doubted, as the first #8 is an independent issue whereas the second #8 is part of an editor series (Les Thibault I until V) in which the last volume coincides with one primary work... But as they contain the same work, I'll combine them anyway ;-)


message 474: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31525 comments Well, if they aren't the same content, don't combine them. If one of them has more than the original work, whether an editor series or not it stays as a #8 but does not get the tick in the column on the right. Which should then show 8 books in the series.

And it could be a caching issue.

Thank you. Fixing this author and series was on my to-do-list after updating the Dutch "deel 1" edition.

message 484: by Thiago (new)

Thiago (thiago7) | 92 comments Hi, I believe this one

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

should be removed from where it is and combined in here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

One is a short story by Lovecraft and the other is a Graphic Adaptation of said story by another author.

Thanks.

Same book, different editions. One is released every year, the current edition is the 19ed (2015), we don't have it here, but I'll add it over the weekend.

I have two listings for my novel, Somethin' for Nothin'

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
