Arenda | 26447 comments For future requests: it is really appreciated to make a separate post for each book/request. All requests in one post makes it difficult to keep track of them.

Combined, but not all.
Explanation: in several translations (like French, Czech, English), some or all books are split in two parts, compared with the original German edition. Only editions with the same content should be combined, so editions that only contain half of the text, should not be combined with the complete book.
The Italian and Dutch editions have the same content as the original German editions.

Not all editions with the same (translated) title have the same content.
For example: the original German book Elfenwinter (book 2 of the series) is published in two parts in English: Elven Winter (part 1 of book 2) and Elven Queen (part 2 of book 2). Elven Queen is not the translation of Elfenkönigin (book 3), but of the second part of Elfenwinter.

(I've also separated some partial editions that were incorrectly combined with the complete books.)

Alina | 52 comments Thank you so much for your effort! :)

Because of the descriptions I thought the content of the translations would be the same. Thanks for looking it up!

Sandra | 31517 comments #6 - #9 done

#6 that book wasn't a duplicate, it had its own asin but was showing an isbn. Fixed.

#9 John, we don't use services where we have to join just to get a cover, used amazon instead.
