Multivolume translations

[Stepan]

The original book is The Collected Short Stories, the two-volume translation (sold separately) is Od A do Z: souhrnné vydání nejlepších povídek and Od A do Z: souhrnné vydání nejlepších povídek. I've read several discussion on how to deal with this situation, but it is still not clear to me - so my questions are:

1. Should those two books be in a series (they are now - seems OK to me)?
2. Should those two books be combined (they are now - seems strange to me)?
3. How to specify relation to the original book (librarian note?)

Thanks for clarification, I am brand new here. Oh, forgot to say hello, so hello there!

[Paula]

1) No they should not be in a series
2) They should not be combined - we do not combine parts with the whole or two parts

3) You can add librarian note indicating relation to the orginal book and that they should not be combined

and hello

[Stepan]

So basically those should be two separate books "linked" together and to the original via librarian note, right?

[Paula]

yep

[Stepan]

OK, will do it like that, thanks.

There have been suggestions to do this in the past, just to link the multiple volumes together. It seems reasonable to me. We'd do it that way if it had been published initially in multiple volumes.

Oh well, that did not help :-) Do you have link to some past discussion? Because I was not able to find one with definitive answer, probably was searching with wrong query. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Hello,
Am I able to add books to a series?. I have 3 different series. The first 2 appeared on their own (Sophia Katsaros and the First Family Saga) But I want to add a series for Eden's Exiles and then add book 3 to the Sophia Katsaros series.
I found in the edit a book section where it mentions series, but it won't let me edit.
Thanks in advance for your help!

authors can not add series - or books to series.
