Ggcd1981⁷ | 3 comments Could the librarians do separate entries for the books in this specific combined edition? I want to shelf some books in this combined edition as "read" but not all of them.

Arenda | 26448 comments I've just answered in the other thread were you posted, and noticed you've deleted your post there. I've copied my answer. Your question in this thread seems a little more clear than in your previous post.

If there are editions combined that do not contain the complete Sherlock Holmes books, please link to those editions.

It is possible to review multiple editions of the same book. See the Help section for instructions how to do that.

If you have an edition of the complete Sherlock Holmes, and want to mark each novel or story from that collection when you've read it, you can choose to review an edition that was published on it's own, from a title search or from the Sherlock Holmes series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4999..., as long as that novel or story was published on it's own. Stories that were only published in a collection should not be separately listed on GR.

If you mean something else, please explain.

Thank you for replying. I appreciate it.
Yes, I wish there was separate entries for each book on "The Complete Sherlock Holmes: The Heirloom Collection".
I have the audiobook of this edition, narrated by Simon Vance. However I only listened to one of the books in this combined edition. I could, as you said, find an entry to an audiobook published on its own and use it as a place holder. But unfortunately there are no entries for Sherlock books narrated by Simon Vance published on its own. I could use a version with another narrator as a place holder, but my shelves would not be reflective of my reading experience then.
So is really not possible to have separate entries for books contained in combined audiobook editions?

Or omnibuses, or any other collection, unless they were also published individually.
