Six Books into a Series - Maybe?

[Brent]

Hello,

The Author has created a series of second editions that we believe should have their own series outside of their first edition's series. TIA!

Author's Edition: Builder (The Young Ancients #1)

Author's Edition: Knight Esquire (The Young Ancients Book 2)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Author's Edition: Knight (The Young Ancients Book 3)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Author's Edition: Ambassador (The Young Ancients Book 4)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Author's Edition: Counselor (The Young Ancients Book 5)

Author's Edition: Slave Line (The Young Ancients Book 6)

No, they would be in the same series as the other editions.

Question: Can't books be part of multiple series?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

They can, but that would not apply here. That applies in cases where two series have a cross-over book, or where one series is a sub-series of another larger series.

Not when book have edited/revised editions. Note: A series on Goodreads applies to all editions of a work. And edited/revised editions of books on Goodreads are each combined into a single work with the original editions.

Is there any way to see the series with the different editions showing? That would work perfectly for our needs.

[Miriam]

Do you mean have the new editions show on the series page?

For that the author would need to set the new editions as the defaults (only the author can set that, librarians can not):

I was hoping there was a way to have a link for each. One with the first edition and one with the new Author’s edition.

Sorry, that is not possible.
