Jan | 843 comments Hi, please combine - or rather merge, I think it's the same - the following edition(s):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
Thanks, Jan

Jan | 843 comments Hi cool person,
Thanks for combining, but
the description leads to disruption. What Bert Keizer has done, was selecting, translating and introducing 315 of the total amount of a thousand letters of Emily Dickinson. (That's the translation of the last sentence of the description I've made for this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
"Bert Keizer heeft voor deze uitgave 315 uit de ongeveer duizend brieven geselecteerd, vertaald en ingeleid."
This fact should, in my opinion, lead to the consideration/ conclusion that it is not/ can not stay an edition of the work 'Judge tenderly of me', in which the subjects are Dickinson's poems (not her letters). Please take into account the difference in page count, 62 'versus' 328.

Secondly I am curious: what argumentation has brought you to the decision to combine in stead of merge the books on the two webpages I have brought to your attention?
(For me, that Dutch book by Bert Keizer is one 'stand-alone'.)
