#83 that edition needs to be merged as its already in the database. Added to ..."

Cavafy developed a unique method for publishing his poems. He never published a collection in book form, and refused at least two such offers (one for a Greek edition and one for an English). He opted to publish his poems in newspapers, periodicals and annuals, then printing them privately in broadsheets, which he would collate in makeshift collections for any interested party. The first volume of the 154 poems which comprise his poetic Canon (he had repudiated 27 early poems) was published posthumously in Alexandria, edited by Rika Singhopoulo. This same collection was first published in Greece in 1948 by Ikaros Publishing, and was issued again by the same publisher in 1963, edited and annotated by G.P. Savidis, who first adopted the thematic sequence advocated by Cavafy. Savidis acquired the Cavafy Archive in 1969, after the death of Aleko Singhopoulo. He had already edited Cavafy’s Unpublished (or Hidden) poems in 1968, and invited scholars to study the other material resting in the Cavafy Archive, resulting in a variety of publications, most notably Cavafy’s Unfinished poems in 1994 (edited by Renata Lavagnini), Cavafy’s Prose in 2003 (edited by Michalis Pieris) and Cavafy’s Comments on his poetry (forthcoming, edited by Diana Haas).

So the work of cavafy is divided in five categories : 154 poems (the published or the canon), the repudated poems (27 poems), the unpublished or hidden (75 poems), the unfinished (30 poems) and the prose poems (3). I'm trying to combine diferrent cavafy editions based on the above categories

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

All the above books contain only the 154 poems that the poet recognized , the canon of Cavafi. They must not be combined with the other books which contain furthermore the repudated poems, the unpublished poems , the unfinished poems and the prose poems.
So they must be combined with this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
and not with the books who are currently combined which contain more of the work of the poet

Please first separate them from this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and then combine them with this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thanx in advance

When I search for the books, they still exist both. So the person which combined it, didn’t do it right.

#137-138 done

#139 there are three editions that are correctly combined: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
If you mean merging, that won't be done, as all three are valid editions: a paperback, an ebook with isbn and a Kindle edition with ASIN. (Kindle editions are ebooks sold on Amazon, ebook editions usually have an isbn and are sold on other websites, both are valid editions on GR).
ETA: you might want to check your shelves for duplicate books, as there are two editions of this book on your shelves: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

The page count for the latter is also wrong. According to the publisher, it's 314 pages: https://wipfandstock.com/reinventing-...

Thanks.

Sandra | 31381 comments #141 Combined. Page count is taken from WorldCat which is more accurate, being added by real librarians. Publishers often add stuff to the ends of books that GR & WorldCat don't count, such as excerpts of other books and ads for other books & authors.

#142 & #143 done
