Panda  | 21 comments Yumi and the Nightmare Painter has 29 editions listed here:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Unfortunately the new GraphicAudio edition was added on it's own page, hanging out over here:

If you would be so kind to merge the newly published GraphicAudio under the audiobook edition of the list already available that would be so flipping awesome.

Thank you kindly!

Appreciate you!

David Raz (davidraz) | 12761 comments These titles need to be combined (=grouped together), not merged (=deleted).
This does not require a superlibrarian. Please move your request or repost it to the "Book & Author Page Issues" folder.

Adaptations shouldn't be combined with the original work, and there's an ongoing discussion on whether the dramatized adaptations are valid in the Goodreads database. Either way, these should not be combined. And the graphic audio might potentially be invalid.

This is not an adaptation. This is the exact same book only scored with a full cast instead of a single narrator. I will post it in the other location however. I am just a user of the platform and apologize for the incorrect location.

Thank you both for your time.

GraphicAudio titles are explicitly labeled '[Dramatized Adaptation]' and differ significantly from regular audiobooks. They often include added sound effects, music, a full cast of voice actors, and sometimes abridged or altered text, making them distinct works. According to the librarian manual, adaptations should not be combined with the original work.
