The existing Captain Nemo series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1270...) contains three books, but each of these books have additionally been published in multiple volumes. This post is requesting cleanup of only Book 1: “In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant”, which was split into a three-volume set.
Please do what you can! If you're unable to do everything, please simply note that below and I will edit my post accordingly to reflect what still needs to be done.
But first, the complete book.
The record for “In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant” in its entirety is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The following records need to be combined with it:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... this is combined with other editions of Book 1/3, which is incorrect—it is actually the entirety of “In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant”. Please combine it with the complete book instead.
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... “In Search of the Castaways; or the Children of Captain Grant” is also published in English as "A Voyage Round the World" (see: https://www.worldcat.org/title/voyage...), so please combine this with the complete book. (It is currently incorrectly listed as an edition of "Around the World in Eighty Days"—see Amazon entry for a different ISBN for the same book from the same publisher here here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/144...)
On to the three-volume set:
The series is here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2880...
The three volumes are most commonly subtitled “South America,” “Australia,” and “New Zealand,” as mentioned in WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/voyage...) and also seen here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.... Here is another good source of information on the series, which is sometimes split up into "The Mysterious Document," "On the Track," and "Among the Cannibals": http://www.julesverne.ca/vernebooks/j...
All books below need to be combined with one another and added to the same three-volume series.
Volume 1, "A Voyage Round the World: South America":
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- All editions included with this record: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Volume 2, “A Voyage Round the World: Australia”:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- All editions included with this record: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (you can see that "On the Track" is Book 2 via https://www.worldcat.org/title/27159632)
Volume 3, “A Voyage Round the World: New Zealand”:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- All editions included with this record: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (Note: ONLY this edition is confirmed to be Book 3/3; at least one, and possibly the rest, of the editions currently combined with this edition is actually book 2/2, as explained below. This edition needs to be separated out. You can see that this is the version of "Among the Cannibals" that is Book 3/3 here: https://www.worldcat.org/title/52851690)
Two-volume series
There is also a two-volume series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2130...
The current editions in this series actually belong to the three-volume series, above, and need to be moved accordingly.
However, a 2-volume series has been published. Confusingly, it takes the alternate three-volume titles of "The Mysterious Document," "On the Track," and "Among the Cannibals" and splits the middle book between the first and last. The correct 2-volume series should include the two following volumes:
- Volume 1: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (you can see that this edition of "The Mysterious Document" is indeed Book 1 of 2 here: https://www.worldcat.org/title/933101363)
- Volume 2: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (See note for Volume 3/3, above. You can see that this edition specifically is indeed book 2 of 2 via https://www.worldcat.org/title/among-... and this record: https://www.worldcat.org/title/318019056)
Additional redundant series
There have been two other separate series created with some/all of the books. There is a redundant Greek series that needs to be deleted (after the books are combined with the above volumes): https://www.goodreads.com/series/236876 (I linked to these books above under the proper volumes—please make sure they're added to the series.)
