Leo | 9 comments Please assist with this issue:

The Swedish version of Mossflower (Redwall part 2) has been divided up into two books. Mossblomma 1 and Mossblomma 2. How would I go about adding these? The same issue goes for Redwall part 3 which has also been divided into two for the translation.

Wiki with a table of the translations: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall

Books published in parts should not be combined with the complete book.

Leo | 9 comments How would you recommend adding them as a series. Should I mark both Mossflowers as part 2 in the Redwall series, or do I create a new series order were Mossflower 1 becomes Redwall pt 2 and Mossflower 2 becomes Redwall pt 3?

Arenda | 26447 comments Sometimes books published in parts are added at the bottom of the series, with either "book 1, part 1" of "book 1A" as numbering.
Example: https://www.goodreads.com/series/6409...

Sometimes, especially when all books are published in two parts in one or more languages and the series has a different numbering compared to the original series, a separate series page can be created.
Example:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/4394...
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2180...

In your case, when only two books of a multi book series were published in parts, it would be confusing to create a new series page.

I have seen both in other series.

Leo | 9 comments I have created a new book and used the 1Q84 as the model, but I can't seem to get the series to show up as a series:

Lieke | 4925 comments You have to edit the series page:
