Brandon Stout (brandonmarkstout) | 14 comments These two are not different editions of the same work.

There is a larger work called The Vicomte de Bragalone that is a massive 2000+ page work. In English it is typically broken up into parts. The one listed in the above link is part one of a three or four part series. The second book in that link is last part of the series. Someone mistakenly merged them into the same work, but they are not the same work.

I found it because I was searching for duplicates in my books. These now show up as duplicates when in fact they are not duplicates at all.

Also, separating books generally doesn't require a super-librarian, so the 'Book & Author Page Issues' folder of this group is the right place for this type of requests.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13055 comments Without taking anything out of what Renske notes, with 2397 editions, this

is another of those bot merges which are unlikely to be resolvable by librarians. You may want to directly contact support, though I'm not sure there anything they can do to revert this mess either.

Brandon Stout (brandonmarkstout) | 14 comments Thank you @Renske and @David. On another note, I'm happy to help as a librarian if there's a way I can join. I have some background as a system administrator and as a web developer.
