BookCrazy - sporadically online for the foreseeable future says

There were two parts to my post:

1) about the note you included along with a combine request: wanting to have a member-created book included with the combined version.

The way you do that is to edit that book - you are the only one that can get to it because member-created books do not appear on searches. Edit the contributor section so that the author is the same as the author on the combined book.

When that edit is approved, you'll be able to see the member-created book on the author's record along with all his other works. You can combine from that record.

2) The combination request you submitted attempted to combine those types I mentioned and it is against the guidelines to do that. I rejected that combination request.

Is this any clearer?

Hi David,

Re your note that came with the combination request for the 3 Musketeers:

You said "There is another edition which I created, that needs to be combined with the remainder. It looks like I am the only one on Shelfari who read it, so it should be merged with the other books. I apparently entered the wrong ISBN (1433239299). The correct ISBN is 9781433239298 (see this webpage http://nh.lib.overdrive.com/7452539B-D207-47FB-A823-56798845DA0C/10/411/en/ContentDetails.htm?ID=5E62971F-C9FB-4997-BAB9-D7EFEC3E5F16). The book is by Blackstone Audio. Please let me know if you have trouble locating the book on my shelf."

Are you saying that you used the Shelfari "create a book" feature to create this edition? You can't find it to combine it with the other editions?

If so, yes, that would be true. Member-created books are not visible to a search function. They are considered kind of like a private entry. If you wish to combine a member-created book with a publicly available book, the only way to do that is to use the Author Record as the source for the combine request. You must, of course, ensure that your member-created book does that the author linked to it first.

About the combine request itself: I am rejecting it. Graphic novels and Illustrated Classics (a form of something link a comic-book version) are not combined with the actual book from which both are derived. The content is completely different.

Did I clear up anything or did I confuse you further?

Thanks for letting me know the author, I could have looked it up on Amazon but I have little computer time so have to answer emails and other stuff so to look something up may take a small amount of time but....
Did you see the film? I read lots of different genres my favourite being sc-fi/fantasy but I am not limited to them these days.

Stuart McMillan says

Hi David. I'm a big fan of audiobooks when driving too. I'm always really frustrated though by the inordinately high prices charged for audio content vs paper content.

The local library's a great help there though. A recent cracker was 'Continental Drifter' by Tim Moore - a 20th Century homage following one of the first 'Grand Tourists' around Europe that inspired me to read a historical account of the originator of the expedition ('Odd Tom Coryate' by R.E. Pritchard).

please take a peek at my shelf. I had a brainy moment and suddenly remembered a LOT of my fav books as a kid and ones my kids liked. I was disappointed to not find a cover for Bruce the Moose and the Loose Tooth book. It was a lot of fun...it had a string tied thru all the pages to his loose tooth! The Boy WHo Fooled the Giant was a great one when I was a kid and my kids loved it. Barney the Beagle is one I still can recite today. I got overwhelmed looking for the right Curious George books...too many listed and the covers don't look right so i could not tell which ones we all read.

How exciting!!!! Congrats! Our granddaughter is 2 years and 7 months old and we are teaching her letters and sounds. We bought her a set of magnet letters and a set of foam letters to play with in the tub. She can recognize 14 capital letters just by playing with her. She understands the concept that the squggles on our pages are letters that tell stories. Her mama and dad and her Grandpa Bill and I read to her every day. Now the new baby is 7 weeks old so the fun starts again. her fav book right now is There's a Monster at the End of This book. She sees us read all the time so i am sure she will grow up with a love of books. She spends 2 nights a week with us and packs her back pack full of great kids books for us to read to her. The state of Tennessee has a program to encourage literacy so she and her baby brother each get a book mailed to them every month. So happy your little guy has reached such a grand milestone!!!!

Forgot to add... have you seen that Terry Brooks added a 6th to his Landover series? i am on the waiting list at the library for this one. I liked the first three, thought the next two were poor and am hoping for good things in number 6.

your shelf reminded me of many books I read but have not listed yet. I got hooked on audio books when I had a three hour a day commute to get to and from work. Now I listen from home. do you get your books from Overdrive through your library? I have dial up but will update my shelf over the weekend. thanks for the reminders!
