Eliza

An avid reader for as long as I can remember, I am also a children's literature collector of sorts. Since my daughter was born I have been busy filling our books shelves with children's stories. I admit I have a bit of an addiction. I scour used bookstores, yard sales, second hand shops and library sales weekly for new books to add to our... more »

    Do you want me to reject your request to separate the Williams-Sonoma editions? It looks like you're adding content to the page, so I don't want to mess you up. Let me know what you prefer and I'll do it. :)

    Wow - that book is a mess! It looks to me like there are at least four distinct books combined. I would say that the proper title (based on the number of editions present) is The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Grilling. Honestly, it doesn't matter that much which ones you choose to move - moving the Williams-Sonoma editions just means a little more work for you and the Librarian since you have to submit each edition separately.

    If you can't find a home for a book when you're trying to move it, you can click the "skip this step" link and the Librarians will try to find a home for it. It's very likely that it should become a new book. I'll take a look at your submissions now.

    If you're interested, the best way to handle the mixed up titles is to look at the editions page for the book. If you see that most of the titles are the same, you can submit a request to move the other editions by clicking "edit this set" and then "move to a different book". You can ignore the book's title and cover image when picking the correct book - it should be the one with the most editions. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you want more info or clarification. Thanks again!

    Eliza, I'm working on cleaning up some of your book data (there are multiple works that have been incorrectly combined in the Choose Your Own Adventure series). I created a new book for Behind the Wheel. I thought you might like to add the series info, since you're the expert here. :)
