Irene (irene5) | 320 comments Hello,
The short story version of Wool by Hugh Howey (~50 pages) has been incorrectly combined with the omnibus version (500+ pages) despite the note left by a librarian stating "do NOT combine with the omnibus edition".

I have been unable to separate the edition for some reason so I am reaching out in this superlibrarian thread to see if someone could help.

This is the edition in question: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
56 pages, Kindle Edition
Published July 30, 2011 by Broad Reach
ASIN: B005FC52L0

It needs to be separated from the omnibus edition (https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...) and recombined with the standalone short story edition here: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

I would really appreciate help with this. Thank you!

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments Working on it; the combine/separate function is being wonky again today. It might take awhile.

Scott | 8539 comments This is not the first time someone has brought this up and I've tried several times before to separate it. It simply wouldn't go.

I asked support to do it and they wouldn't. Response was typical nonsense.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments I finally got it to separate. Now it's in the Combine queue. Stay tuned. 🙄

That was a nice all-afternoon 5-minute task. 😏

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments No, just stubbornly persistent. 😏

You're very welcome, though. Glad I could help.
