Beppe Roncari (bepperoncari) | 10 comments Hello,

I'm the author of both "Engaged 1. Il Libro di Renzo":
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and "Engaged 2. Il Segreto di Lucia":
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I was wondering if you might help me uniform some information about the two books. which together form a historical fantasy retelling of Alessandro Manzoni's "The Bethroted".

1. Would it be possible to have a capital "L" in the title "Il Libro di Renzo", please?

2. Would it be possible to add to both titles the genres: "fantasy", "retellings", "historical fantasy".

3. Would it be possible to make it known that the novels are available both in printed hard-cover format and ebook?

4. Would it be possible to add a link to the related book, "The Bethroted" by Michael Moore, the latest translator in American English of Manzoni's masterpiece? Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... and to Alessandro Manzoni's original material in Italian: "I Promessi Sposi - Storia della Colonna Infame - Fermo e Lucia", link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... ?

Thanks.

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6987 comments 1. Standard capitalization of book titles is used for each language. In Italian, the capital letter is used only for the first letter of the title and for any proper names it contains. I fixed the book titles per the librarian manual https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

2. Genres are set by user shelvings and we have no control over them https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

3. The kindle edition and the hardcover edition are already there. Users can see this if they access the editions of this work https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... on Goodreads kindle editions are different from ebook editions as kindles have asin numbers and ebooks have isbn numbers. For this particular edition, the bot incorrectly added the isbn numbers of the ebook edition to the kindle edition. You will have to contact support so they fix that as librarians can't help. For the second book https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... only the hardcover edition is in the database. As a verified author, you can add your own books. If you can't do it for whatever reason you can request your book be added to the database. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

4. Sorry but we don't normally link other books in a book's description unless it is to note an ACE [Alternate Cover Edition], a reused isbn number, and the like. You are welcome to make a dedicated request for this in the Book & Author Page Issues folder for other librarians to weigh in as I'm not sure if this is allowed or not. Someone might see it here and comment but it's not very likely.

Next time please post in the Book & Author Page Issues this folder "Serieses!" is for creating a new series or editing an existing series [adding and/or removing books].
