Michele | 6354 comments All of these seem to have "Baker Street Bibliothek" as the series name, not "Die Gentlemen vom Sebastian Club." So should the series be "Baker Street Bibliothek" ?


message 3: by Scythe (new)

Scythe Rowan | 890 comments According to the publisher (https://bedey-thoms.de/pages/dryas-ve...), "Baker Street Bibliothek" is an anthology series of crime novels set in the 19th century and consists of multiple sub-series from different authors. Maybe it's a good idea to list all the "Baker Street Bibliothek" books on one page (in release order, maybe?) and the books from the subseries on separate pages (in chronical order).

That would not meet Goodreads criteria of what constitutes a series.

Scythe Rowan | 890 comments Does "Die Gentlemen vom Sebastian Club" meet the criteria of a series then? It was released under the "Baker Street Bibliothet" line, but does tell coherent story (even though the books can be read somewhat out of orders without any problems) with the same set of characters

Looking at the summaries I would say yes, it does. I've created it here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3516...

Michele | 6354 comments Scythe, if you want to list all the Baker Street Bibliothek books, you could create a Listopia. Go here https://www.goodreads.com/list?ref=na... and click "Create New List." Or if there's already a list, you can add to it: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!

Only GR librarians can update series pages. To request series updates, please start a new thread in this group: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... and link to the series page and the books that should be added.

I am a GR librarian. This is my first time adding a book to a series. I will ask in group above

Donald, you are a GR author, not a librarian. Authors are able to do several edits on their own books, but adding to a series is not one of them, you have to ask a librarian to do it.
