Combining editions

[Neuza]

I think the book "Cura-te" is the portuguese edition of the book "How to Do the Work". Please check and, if it is, please combine:

This request does not involve the adding of new books/new editions to the Goodreads database, so it is in the wrong folder..
See Where should I put my request? (folder overview)

Please MOVE your topic to the correct folder Book & Author Page Issues by clicking the (EDIT) button next to the topic's title and picking the target folder from the pulldown list (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).

As stated in #2, this request doesn't involve adding new books or editions, so I'm closing it.

You can move it back into the appropriate section, which is 'Book and Author Page Issues'. Or you can make a new request there.

About the request, 'think' is not enough for us to combine the editions.
Both books have many editions, and although they might be the same, at the same time they don't seem the same (by the cover or the title).

Also, there is already an portuguese language edition in the english book (although it seems brazilian and sometimes there are big differences between portuguese and brazilian editions).

If you have the book at hand, you may check it for the 'original edition' from which it was translated. That might clear the doubts

Thank you for answering. I’m not used to putting requests so I end up making some mistakes…
I do have the edition at hand and it says “Título original: How to Do the Work”, which is why I’m pretty sure it is the same book. That’s why I put the request, but I always consider the possibility that I’m wrong, just in case.
Thank you for helping me understand how this works. I’ll try to create a new request and hopefully do it right this time. =)

No need to make a new request, with the info you provided I combined them.

When you make new requests in the future, please consider providing as much information as you can. This kind of details are hard for me to verify, and I'm portuguese, imagine for a non-PT librarian

Ok,
Realmente não é o livro mais fácil de verificar, o título está muito diferente do original. Daí eu própria ter duvidado e pedido que fosse verificado.
Da próxima vez que efetuar um pedido irei tentar dar mais informação.
Obrigada =)
