Well, you are also doing an effort to clean up editions. If you apply for librarian you can fix it yourself. It's fun to do! :-) :-)

It is indeed an adaptation and should not be combined with the original book.
I've added the adapter as primary author (which is GR policy for adaptations) and combined this Kindle edition with the paperback edition of the stage adaptation.

Rafał Wątorski (rafal_watorski) | 678 comments I already applied for a librarian more than one month ago, but there's still no response. I still see the "Application Submitted" message, so there's still hope :)
Currently I have around 50 open requests, out of which around 60% is new books and editions. I'm finding so many typos, missing data, duplicated authors, uncombined books, missing editions etc... I would much prefer to fix it by myself :D

Karin | 3219 comments Good luck, I waited 7 weeks. ;-) And hopefully welcome!

I think it would be helpful to have more multilingual librarians so hope whoever looks at applications pays attention to languages applicants are literate enough in to do Librarian tasks.
