Anne Patkau | 93 comments I am reading "treasury of great racing", combined titles #1
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

GR, amazon & abe websites all had 10 pages for mass-market #2 edition, but books.google.com had 221, so I'd prefer confirmation I did right to change 10 pages to 221
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85...

I found 2 editions of "new treasury", clearly different, #3
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

but one questionable #4:
0 pages 0 ratings 0 reviews
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30...

I'm new, make changes based on books in front of me #1, so request superior help with the last entry #4, whether to find, estimate, delete, correct and combine with pictured edition previous #3. And to confirm my fix on #2.

Thanks.

I have combined editions - needed to swap author on some to ensure Dick Francis was in the primary position

Anne Patkau | 93 comments The advantage of having the book in front of me.

Everything is fixed now. I'd already combined correctly. My message was not a request for combining, somehow had meaning edited out.

I had to separate out the combinations according to these distinctions "clearly different":

Complete Treasury has 28 stories.
Treasury has 14 stories. You maybe were confused because the Large Print edition has twice the number of pages, comparable to Complete.
New Treasury has 14 stories. You maybe were confused by the same number. But authors differ, at least Damon Runyon, Banjo Patterson, maybe more.
Francis and Welcome both editors for all.

Thanks for fast reply, clarifying that 0 pages can be changed to empty field, editors must be in same positions primary-secondary, decision point to keep book is if valid isbn, not if 0-0-0 for pages-ratings-reviews, and most of all, to have confidence in the book in front of me.
