Dianna Hardy (diannahardy) | 41 comments Hi, I don't know if this is the correct thread.

I was wondering if it was the done thing (or even possible) to have this book - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... - attached to the below series?

http://www.goodreads.com/series/67869...

It's the omnibus edition of the series which includes ALL of the books in it, so even though it IS the same series, I don't know what volume to label it as, as it's not a separate volume but the omnibus edition (?).

Thanks :)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Yup, omnibus editions are listed with the series (as non-primary works in the series) and numbered with all of the works they contain. I've added this one.

Dianna Hardy (diannahardy) | 41 comments Awesome, thank you! I thought it might be possible, I couldn't figure out how to do it when I added the book :)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments It's not something you can do when the book is created, actually; a librarian has to edit the series so that it includes the book as a second step after the creation of the book.

Bill (kernos) | 23 comments I added 2 omnibus editions to this series https://www.goodreads.com/series/5948...

I am unable to change the order of these omnibus editions. I would have #1-3 under #3 and #4-6 under #4. Is that the protocol or should they remain at the end.

Also, how does one indicate a primary work, aka, where does one put the asterisk?

Finally, is it possible to change the series Title all at once. The author calls this the Wayson Harris Saga in the Author Notes to Book 6, although the The Internet Speculative Fiction Database (http://isfdb.org) calls it Clone Republic. No info given there for source.

I usually add the omnibus editions (omnibi ?) at the end.

Primary is a tick in the box on the right.

The series name is a privilege of the author. Changed to "Wayson Harris Saga"
