but they seem to be from different series, aren't they? Actually, the Willy Dahl series seems to be a parallel one to this one.
It's the same series. It's just that it's been expanded. The 1975 and 1983 editions had 6 volumes. There's a 1991 edition which I'm unsure about, but the1995 edition was expanded to 8 volumes.You could say the volumes 6-8 of the latest edition replaces volume 6 of the first editions.

If you feel like it, all editions in this series should have GR series guidelines conforming names, like for this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I updated all the titles to GR standard, but then I saw this:Halvor (Raknes) wrote: "You could say the volumes 6-8 of the latest edition replaces volume 6 of the first editions. "
It's one thing if it's the same content, expanded, it's another if it's been separated into 3 books. Is it even the same content?
No, it isn't the same content, obviously, since the latest volumes appended to this series covers a time period that goes beyond the end time covered in the last volume (6) of the original series. I'd say it's still the same series, but others may differ in their opinion on that. The publisher considers it the same series.
What would be in the best interest of GR users in the way of presenting this development? Or not representing it by divorcing the 6-volume editions from the 8-volume edition?
I should clarify, I was wondering if the content was the same in the respective 6th books of the series.Also, I don't know Norwegian, so no need to get snarky, since I was responding based on your own assertion that "volumes 6-8 of the latest edition replaces volume 6 of the first editions".
My suggestion would be: if the content of the 6th volumes is the same or reasonably similar so as to just be considered an expansion on the same content, the series is fine as is, with, perhaps, a note about the expansion from 6 to 8 books.
If different, I would suggest separating the differing 6th volumes (only the 6th) and creating a 2nd series including only the original 6. Keep this one as the "expanded" series and have it primary on the appropriate books.
I'm sorry if you perceived any snarkiness. There was none there.The old volume 6 is completely removed from the later series. The later volume 6 (of the 8-volume series) is written by new authors.
I'm really sorry for mis-perceiving it then.Then, just to be completely clear, the first 5 volumes for both series contain the same content, then the 6th volumes are completely different. Correct?
Ok, done.Original: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2492...
Expanded: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2486...
What do you think? Also, is the editor correctly identified for all of these?
It looks fine, thank you!is the editor correctly identified for all of these?
Yes. except that his dual role of series editor and sole contributor doesn't appear clearly for volume 3.
Actually, it's more than fine. I should commend you on a solid piece of work on this request!
I've added Author/Editor as his role for book 3. All done. Thank you for your patience!ETA: Please, you embarass me! :D
Thank you for always providing such clear and useful information!
