Thanks Arenda :-)

Is it possible to learn to combine the books myself, instead of giving you so much work? I'd like to learn. :-)

Don't worry about the work. I like doing it.

If you are interested, you can apply to become a Librarian yourself, to make edits like combining editions.
See https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/6...
I can imagine mentioning specific expertise or fields of interests (like children's books/specific languages) in the motivation field might help in getting the request approved.

The Librarian Manual with all policy is here: https://www.goodreads.com/librarian_m...

#246 Combined. I think the actual title includes the author's name, at least it looks like it on the cover, and both Amazon and Worldcat have the title that way.
#247-250 done
#251-253 someone has already combined them
#254-255 done
#256 according to the description, they contain the same books, so combined
#257-272 done
#273 That edition is a duplicate; merged.
#274 I can't confirm that isbn is for Lost Roses.
#276-278 done
#279 they are already combined, you can see it when you look at the all editions link: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
#280-282 done
#283 If I remember correctly, it used to be the rule to have a period at the end of a title for German titles. According to current rules it isn't, so I've removed them. These books are not the same, combined each with the original English editions.

#299 For future requests: there is a special thread if you want to request the merge of a duplicate edition: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
For this book, you don't need to repost, as the covers are different (one has a blurb/quote at the top; the logo of the publisher, bottom of the page, is a different color). Editions with different covers will not be merged. I've added the subtitle to the one that didn't have it.
