How to address the Paris Review?

[Evie]

Good evening, everyone! I've just become a librarian, and am looking for some insight here:

I came across two copies of The Paris Review, #145 and #155, at a book sale. When I came on here and went looking, I realized that they're not being grouped together. Are they considered a series? Here are some examples I've found:

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

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And then one with the season in title:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

On the whole, it's all very inconsistent and certainly a project if they are to be treated as a series. How do you even go about organizing something like this?

I have a daughter we call "Tasia" . Is your name short for Anastasia ?

Tasia, your links are linking to Harry Potter.

That's… really, really strange, especially since I'm copy-pasting an old post I made about these. I had never pasted links to Harry Potter.

Here, let me fix it:

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

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And then one with the season in title:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

(Also, yes, it is short for Anastasia, ha)

Yeah, that won't work. And the first few books in the Goodreads database were the HP books, so truncated book links usually go to them.

As far as the Paris Review, they're right on the edge of being items that qualify for the Goodreads database. They certainly are not a series.

Ah, I see. Always learning something, ha!

So, if not a series, how should the titles read? Something like, The Paris Review: Issue 155, Summer 2000? Or should the season and year be omitted completely?

I don't think we have an agreed-upon format, since we mostly discourage adding magazines.

Gotcha. Thank you for your time and help!
