Relaxingreader | 82 comments Hello!
I came across this book, and there are multiple problems with the copies at the bottom.
There is a German version of this book that isn't listed as a edition of the same thing. This book was co-authored by Ian Gittins, who isn't correctly listed on the 'main' version, but has a complete separate book entry instead. There is also a tenth anniversary edition, would this qualify as an edition of the same, or should that stay separate? The last version might be another version of the same thing, or is a graphic novel adaptation. I'm not sure on this, but I think this should either be corrected or specified.
Can someone fix all of this for me? Thank you in advance!

Main version:

German edition:

Co-author only:

Tenth anniversary version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I think this is a graphic novel version, but it isn't described as such:

Gerd | 1050 comments I combined the first three listed, but left the ten year anniv. edition as it claims new material.

The last does seem to be a graphic novel indeed.


Relaxingreader | 82 comments Thank you very much! Could you by chance note that the last one is a graphic novel? In the title or description for example?

It seems to be revised and expanded, which we do combine. Clearly labeled those editions as 10th anniversary and combined.

It has artists and is published by Heavy Metal so I think it's clear, but I added a librarian note so that it does not get combined with the original work.
