Two books need to be unmerged (same topic, different books)

[Gwen]

9781933615332 is The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2009: The Year's Best Recipes, Equipment Reviews, and Tastings (Best of America's Test Kitchen Cookbook: The Year's Best Recipes)

and

9781933615196 is The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2008: The Year's Best Recipes, Equipment Reviews, and Tastings

These are different books but share the same listing.

Thanks!

[Gwen]

Same deal for 9781933615097 which is The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2007: The Year's Best Recipes, Equipment Reviews, and Tastings

It looks like a bit of work needs to be done on these two "authors"

I got the first two separated.

[Gwen]

It looks like all of the Cook's Illustrated Annual editions are listed as being the same book as well. I assume the same will be true when I get to the Cook's Country Annuals.

Thanks for sorting this stuff out.

[Kim]

From what I've read now those all need to be combined back together. Annual publications are not separated.

Interesting - thank you for the links. I apologize for causing more work than necessary.

I would think these would fall under the same exception as the annual anthologies. I can't imagine there is much duplication between years in the content.

[Kim]

But things like Guinness Book of Records, which also varies quite a lot year to year, are combined. Anthologies aren't explicitly exempt though, they're just less likely to be combined. I'd still say all these annual cookbooks should be combined.

[Gwen]

For what it's worth, there is zero duplication of information in these volumes. They are more like individual books in a series than editions of a text book.

I would say that if there is zero duplication then they should be separated, the same way we separate anthologies, but that's just my opinion.

[Paula]

I would agree - if the book is published annually with completely different content it is not the same book. They are not new editions i.e. 4th edition

[Gwen]

For what it's worth, the Cooking Light Annuals (exact same concept, different magazine) are all listed as separate books.
