Marta (mmee) | 8 comments I'd like to add my edition of The Chronicles of Narnia.

It's the first Polish edition, published in 1991. It's not in the database yet.
My problem is, that all stories are combined into two books. #1 has "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", "Prince Caspian" and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". #2 has "The Silver Chair", "The Horse and His Boy", "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Last Battle".
I haven't seen any editions with such stories combination.
So, should I create a new entry in the database? Two entries? Or should I still add it to another edition?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments You should add an edition per physical book so two

Do you have ISBN's?

Add the Title of each book in the edition to the title line separated by a /

Add a note indicating this is how they are published

Marta (mmee) | 8 comments They have no ISBNs.

How should I indicate that this edition is divided into two books?
Something like this?
The Chronicles of Narnia #1: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe / Prince Caspian / The Voyage of the Dawn Treader


Should I add a note that these stories are in wrong order (I think it was a publisher's error, I remember I was very confused when I read the book as a child)?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments In the title at the end add Vol 1 / Vol 2 or part 1 / part 2

Yep - add a comment in the description field about the wrong order. IF you add them, then post links to the editions, some one can check them over for you if you want

Marta (mmee) | 8 comments OK, I added the first book. Could you or someone else take a look at it?

1. Should I use "Vol. 1" despite the fact the whole title is in Polish?
2. The note about the wrong order should be in Polish / English / both?

Sandra | 31515 comments Looks good Marta, I'd put it in Polish as you wouldn't be reading that edition unless you were proficient in Polish.
