[COMPLETE] Cleanup: Jumpnauts

It's been a week, so I'm bumping the thread.
#9 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...I removed the ISBN 13 because it says invalid then the ISBN 10 and ASIN is already taken so I can't put in the book information.
Thanks for all your help. It looks like Amazon or another librarian already created a page for the hardcover edition. If you want to merge them, the links are below; otherwise I'll start a thread elsewhere to ask other librarians. In the meantime, I'll mark this thread as complete.Jumpnauts

(Also, just as a tip: if you're getting an "ISBN already in use" message, try punching the ISBN into the search bar to see if someone else already created the edition. If they did, you don't need to worry about making a new one.)

1. Combining with the original Chinese-language edition
The original Chinese edition of Jumpnauts is listed as a separate edition from the English editions. They need to be combined. The Chinese language edition is here: 宇宙跃迁者. If needed, you can copy/paste the title and description of the Chinese edition into Google Translate to compare; the Chinese title translates to “Cosmic Jumper”, and the descriptions line up.

2. Series
So, kind of an odd one here. Some editions of the book have the parenthetical “Folding Universe” in their title (which will need to be removed), and on the publisher’s website, this is listed as the title of the series this book is/will be in. However, there is only one other work in the Folding Universe series: a novelette called Folding Beijing that has been published as a book in China, but in the English language has only been included in an anthology and published in the sci-fi/fantasy magazine Uncanny Magazine. The page(s) for Folding Beijing are a complete mess of various different editions in non-English languages that I don’t speak (there isn’t even a Goodreads page for the English publication of the novelette, and I’m not sure what the policy is for creating Goodreads pages for short stories), so I’m unsure how to handle this. Should a series page be created for the Folding Universe and applied to both Jumpnauts and Folding Beijing, or should it be left alone?

ASIN: B0C87VR3VX
PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster Audio
DATE PUBLISHED: March 12, 2024
FORMAT: Audible
DESCRIPTION:
From the Hugo Award–winning author of Folding Beijing comes a gripping science fiction thriller in which three unlikely allies attempt a desperate mission of first contact with a mysterious alien race before more militaristic minds can take matters into their own hands.
In a future where the world is roughly divided into two factions, the Pacific League of Nations and the Atlantic Division of Nations, tensions are high as each side waits for the other to make a move. But neither side is prepared for a powerful third party that has apparently been an influential presence on Earth for thousands of years—and just might be making a reappearance very soon.
With the realization that a highly intelligent alien race has been trying to send them messages, three rising scientists within the Pacific League of Nations form an uneasy alliance. Fueled by a curiosity to have their questions answered and a fear that other factions within their rival Atlantic Division of Nations would opt for a more aggressive and potentially disastrous military response, the three race to secure first contact with this extraterrestrial life they aren’t quite convinced is a threat.
Bolstered by recent evidence of alien visitations in the distant past, the three scientific minds must solve puzzles rooted within human antiquity, face off with their personal demons, and discover truths of the universe.

And a signal flickering through deep space could be just that spark.
As three young scientists form an alliance to decode the signal, they realise that the answers don't only lie in deep space, they also lie deep in humanity's past.
What they discover will change everything: our past, present and future.
If we have one.
