Lauren | 2167 comments Jules Verne's novel The Adventures of Captain Hatteras has been published both as a complete single volume and as a two-volume set.

The two-volume set is currently a series on Goodreads, seen here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2881...

I would suggest re-titling the series to either English or French, as Italian does not make sense (given that additional editions in other languages need to be added, as discussed below).

Adding additional editions of Book 1

Book 1, “The English at the North Pole”, has the following entries, which need to be combined with the existing edition of Book 1 that is currently in the Hatteras series:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Adding additional editions of Book 2

Book 2, “The Desert of Ice”, has the following entries, which need to be combined with the existing edition of Book 2 that is currently in the Hatteras series:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Adding the 4-volume Persian version of the series?

The following series is also listed on Goodreads. It should perhaps be added as a subseries to the Hatteras series, as it's unclear how these 4 titles match up to the other 2-volume versions; though I'm unclear how Goodreads handles these types of situations.

Combining complete edition

Finally, the following existing Goodreads records for the novel in its complete, single volume form need to be combined with one another and added to the series:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


Thanks for your help!

I believe I've completed this cleanup; please take a look and let me know. Regarding the Persian edition, my understanding is that if two different versions have different numbers of volumes then they can't be combined, because there's no way of matching up where the volume breaks are. So I think we have to leave that one alone.
