Questioning a couple of edition separations

[Antonomasia]

I thought that on Goodreads, the policy was to have annotated editions with substantial introductions (eg Norton) combined with standard editions of the same work. Has this been changed?

Are separate and they didn't used to be.

The separation and combination of Kafka's Metamorphosis is a bit of a mess.
This

and this:

contain the same stories and same translation but have been put into separate editions.
That separation is not consistent about volumes with the single story and those with several - not all with several stories say 'and other stories" in the title. Though you may be able to tell by length and checking on Amazon. I don't have time to sort it out at the moment myself.

No, this has not changed. Recombined Lolita.

Metamorphosis needs someone more familiar with the works than I am.

I have a similar question. I read this book first and it is 80 pages with 2 stories. Now I started to read this book and this is 312 pages.

But I am not able to add this book to my shelf twice because they count as one. They contain the same storry which gives the almos same title but the second one has 6 different stories. Obviously I am reading almost a different book compared the first one. I cannot decide what to do.

re 3, they shouldn't have been combined in the first place. i have separated them, which should solve your problem.

FYI, it is possible to rate more than one editions of a book. https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/7...
