Leah (flying_monkeys) | 45 comments Please combine https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... They are the same book: ISBN-10 0-88029-519-8 ISBN-13 978-0-88029-519-2 You can view this book here

Please note the page count needs corrected to 636 for ISBN 1-56865-047-7 :
Publisher listed inside page and on jacket spine of ISBN 1-56865-047-7 is GuildAmerica Books, Doubleday Direct, Inc., Garden City, NY (in case that helps clear up discrepancy between publishers on ISBN 1-56865-047-7 and ISBN 0-88029-519-8)

Thank you in advance!

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #19 - Working on Done

1) Separated then Merged the 2 books, since they were the same exact edition, then recombined with the other editions.

2) What is on the pages from 632-636, because it was changed by a librarian to the 632?

3) I changed the book publisher to Doubleday Direct, thought about changing it to Guild America, since it is probably the imprint, but Doubleday was the original publisher when record was created.


message 20: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #20 - Done.

I combined them, even though it looked like you were asking for 1 edition to be removed, since they are different formats(editions). One was Kindle and one was ebook.

Antonio Cossio Torres (cossio) | 14 comments Hi, can anybody here unlink this book from Moby Dick, This is an abstract, and a really lousy one that doesn't says about not been the complete book.

185 pages doesn't seem like an abstract.

Perhaps you mean it is abridged?

The index is from page 633-636

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #30 - Done. Had to change the Author order on the one edition to match what was on the cover.

message 33: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16368 comments #34 Merged and recombined with main title.

Is Lu the Serbian spelling of his last name? Do you want me to add it?


message 34: by Zoran (new)

Zoran | 247 comments thanks, lethe

Yes, in Serbian "Erlend Lu" is right spelling.
Please, add it.
And if I don't bother you, can you give me instructions how to add name of author or book series name in Serbian spelling when I add new edition of some book?


message 35: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16368 comments #36 Added, see https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Adding an author in another spelling: make sure the "English" version is the first listed. Click on 'Add new author' to add the other spelling (you don't need to specify the role). It's best to do this before adding other contributors such as the translator (which reminds me: do you know the translator of Fvonk?).

As a rule, book series aren't added in another language, unless they differ significantly. From the manual: "1. Check if a series has already been created for the books in question. Please do not add a new series for each language the books have been published in, unless the numbering of the books differs from that of the existing series."

Hope this helps.

While we would not add an additional series, it is fine for the series information on the title line to be in the same language of the book. It won't show up everywhere, but it would show up some places -- including individual users' My Books pages.


message 37: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16368 comments Ah yes. I forgot about that.


message 38: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16368 comments #36-38 Zoran, here is an example of what rivka was talking about:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

The series is added to the title field in different languages, but the series field only has the original (in this case Spanish) series title. (And on the individual book's page, you see the original series name after the title.)


message 39: by Zoran (new)

Zoran | 247 comments Ok, thanks. I'll check that later on my computer. Translator is Radoš Kosović
