Dario (darioviola) | 270 comments Please create "Coleção Tudo é História" series and add already existing book entries to it (as an example, the book I put on "This topic is about" is book #1 of the requested series, as seen on the publishing house website page about it | ISBN 9788511020014).

Editora Brasiliense (publisher) current info on the "Coleção Tudo é História" series: http://www.editorabrasiliense.com.br/...

Not all the books ever published under this book series moniker is listed on the URL above; just as a reference (I know it may not be considered a reliable source) the Wikipedia page about the aforementioned book series lists 153 books.

"Coleção Tudo é História" ("Everything is History") is history pocket books imprint first published in the early 1980s, being very popular in Brazil ever since.

Some GR already existing entries for books on the series (I may list some books more after the series is created):

A Cidade de São Paulo | # 78

Bolívia - do período incaico à independência | # 137

Opulência e miséria das Minas Gerais | # 28

São Paulo na Primeira República | # 125

Bandeirantismo: verso e reverso | # 47

O imigrante e a pequena propriedade | # 38

A Coluna Prestes: rebeldes errantes | # 103

O mundo antigo - economia e sociedade | # 39

A crise do escravismo e a grande imigração | # 2

O governo Goulart e o golpe de 64 | # 48

Thank you.

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. These do not sound like they would meet that requirement.

Dario (darioviola) | 270 comments Thank you for the explanation, rivka. Indeed, besides being published under the same series name, "Coleção Tudo é História", the books do not share all those features you've mentioned.

Perhaps it could be said that the common idea behind all the books is that they're meant to be some sort of introduction to a given theme, all of them being short paged, and also being unpublished and specifically written to be part of the series.

Now I see that both The Oxford Very Short Introductions Series and Que sais-je? , that share a fairly similar concept with "Coleção Tudo é História" ARE NOT grouped as series on GR. My fault; I should have checked something like that before asking what I've asked.

Thank you very much for your attention and explanation.
