For The Fellowship of the Rings ISBN 0048230456 (but not the other 2 volumes), the series information (The Lord of the Rings, #1) appears twice. Which means that the three volumes don't sort together. I can't find any way to correct this. Is it a bug introduced by the first volume being in the series سيد الخواتم #1 when the others aren't? Should the English edition be included in the Arabic series - and if not, how can it be corrected?

Not sure what you're trying to say. I clicked on the arabic series and got the 3 volumes and I clicked on the english and got 3 + the complete set.Ideally we shouldn't have the arabic series at all, just the one series for the same books. As the arabic books would still show up as a series read.
The same problem for The Tin Drum by Günther Grass. First there is the English series, and then there is a possibly Turkish one with only the first volume: http://www.goodreads.com/series/63154...
I think the Arabic series page is not necessary, there is no different order, no split of editions in multi parts or other things that are a reason for a extra series page. The Arabic translation of the series name could be added to the list with translations in the information on the series page.
I don't know whether the Arabic name is causing the problem, I just thought it might. The real problem is that "(The Lord of the Rings, #1)" appears twice rather than once after the title.
That was because a space after the ). I removed the space.

I must remember that the formatting is so delicate.
Perhaps there should be some detailed FAQs for hints and tips like that?
The Turkish Danzig Trilogy series is still there: http://www.goodreads.com/series/63154...May it be deleted, since it only contains one book and not the whole trilogy?
