Different titles, not different editions!

[Tatiana Alejandra]

Good afternoon:

I have just discovered that "Una lengua muy larga : Cien historias curiosas sobre el español" (ISBN: 978-8416601080) appears as a different edition of "Una lengua muy muy larga: Más de cien historias curiosas sobre el español" (ISBN: 978-8416601530), but they are different books!

The first one (the one with only one "muy" in its title) it's the first part and its sequel has two "muy" in its title (and a different subtitle). You can check the information in Amazon, even if the cover of the second book does not appear (they used the one of the first part):
1st book: Una lengua muy larga: Cien historias curiosas sobre el español (published in 2016, 260 pages)
2nd book: Una lengua muy muy larga: Más de cien historias curiosas sobre el español (published in 2017, 288 pages)

Here it is the website of the publishing house with the right cover for the second book: Una lengua muy muy larga por Lola Pons Rodríguez (published in 2017).

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I've checked the introduction with the Amazon look inside feature and the author explains that it's the 4th edition and that has been corrected and augmented, changing the title to reflect this and the format to make it more robust. The publisher also says the book has been published in June 2016 and that Una lengua muy muy larga is the 4th edition.

Goodreads usually keeps different editions of a same book together, even if the contents aren't exactly the same so I haven't separated the editions. That said, perhaps other librarians with more knowledge about the matter may think differently...

Actually, I just went through the exact same conundrum: the author had substantially re-written several of his books. Page counts, stories, titles were all drastically different. I asked the same question as you and the answer is that the way to go about is indeed to keep it all combined.

The "Work Setting" title should be the one of the first edition. You can also put a note in the description to explain.
If you'd like to see an example of it, here is the case I just worked on today: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... (see individual book's description for the kind of note I meant)
