Lindenblatt | 174 comments Hi,

I hope that this is the right folder to ask this question. I am updating a book record and have encountered a problem that I cannot solve with the librarian manual.

This book record (all links below) is an edition of 'Book 1, Part 1', but is linked to 'Book 1' instead. I can't figure out how to change this, not from the book edit nor the series edit page. I do not need to create a new book in the series, but change this edition from one book to another.

Book record: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... (ISBN: 9788371804717)

Book series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4494...

Book record is currently linked to 'Book 1', but is actually 'Book 1, Part 1' .

Thanks for any help on this!

If part 1 is combined with the whole book, it needs to be separated from the complete editions and combined with any other editions that are split in the same way. That work for part 1 then could be added to the right place in the series.
