combine request & new series: The Mathematics of India

[[deleted user]]

I recently added the original Hindustan Book Agency edition of a book later released by Springer:

The Mathematics of India: Concepts, Methods, Connections

However, the ISBN-13 of this edition is currently associated with a less detailed entry with an erroneous author and cover image:

Mathematics Of India: Concepts, Methods, Connections

I request that the latter entry be combined with the Hindustan Book Agency edition of the former entry, preserving the ISBN-13 (9789386279699) from the latter and other details from the former. The details are taken from the publisher's website:

Additionally, the book is #10 in a Hindustan Book Agency series, "Culture and History of Mathematics":

http://www.hindbook.com/index.php/cul...

I have not found the series on Goodreads, so i request that the series be created and this edition added to it as #10.

Finally, some other books from this series are already on Goodreads and should also be added to the series (as well as combined, for some duplicates):

Ramanujan: Essays and Surveys
Seminar on the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem
Seminar on Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem. (Am-57), Volume 57
Contributions to the History of Indian Mathematics
Ganita-Yukti-Bhasa (Rationales in Mathematical Astronomy) of Jyesthadeva, Volume I and II
Ganita-Yukti-Bhasa (Rationales Mathematical Astronomy) of Jyesthadeva: Vol. 1 - Mathematics

Thank you so much!

To be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc. This appears to be a publisher's imprint, rather than a series.

Oh, i apologize, and thanks for explaining. These are literally called series by scholarly publishers, not just imprints (see the second link to the publisher's site, where other series are linked in the lower navigation bar), and while some are only thematic others follow a planned progression. However, the word does have a different meaning in that setting than in, e.g., fiction, and i'll understand if a Goodreads series cannot be created for them. Though it would be good to have some other way of grouping such books (or editions) analogously to how other series are grouped. Could i propose this somewhere?
