I get SO confused some times!OK - reg the Volumes of Vanity Fair. It has always been my practice to never equate "part" with "volume" as the "part" is usually an audio (as in this case) which is not (or, at least, very seldom) the same as the separation by volumes for DTBs.In addition, (sheesh), I allowed an illustrated classic to be combined with the "complete" Vanity Fair in another of your combination requests. I'll be frank - I didn't investigate it. It is just really hard for me to believe that this particular title would be reproduced for children. That may need to be separated but I will leave that decision to your more expert understanding of that particular book.I keep messing up with your stuff. I don't know why and apologize deeply for causing such disruption.BC
Sheesh! It makes my head ache to even think about it. You're a better member than I, Ms "Din"BC
I get caught up in my editing and forget to leave notes. I know I should and apologize for not making it easier on you. I'll try to remember.
Because they are volumes of the book, not the complete book. The Japanese translation of the, what looks like a T or an upside down T, translates to up and down or volumes 1 and 2. I don't submit separation requests unless I see that symbol.
Done! (Glad I understood that one - Story of the Stone . I frequently have a difficult time with this kinda "foreign" book because the descriptions sometimes aren't very clear.)BC
Yo,I fumble fingered and rejected a 2 volume set of Vanity Fair from your combination request. Please resubmit. Sorry for making the extra work for you.BC
Oh!Glad I posted a note to you then! Guess we should maybe out that string of included stories in the first (or very early) lines of the description maybe? Perhaps also a "also published as..." might be good there too?Otherwise some of our more energetic editors (even myself!) might go through and do a bunch of separations or something. Because I have set my eyes on reading a little Sartre this year, I would, most likely have stumbled across all those edition titles and started the separation ball running before I figured out what was happening.Sorry that I messed up your plan.BC
Hi, I fixing them but thought I'd check in with you as well.Those that you are requesting be separated from Sartre's "Nausea" to "Sartre's "The Wall" when, in fact, they should be moved to "The Wall and other stories."Just FYI,BC
you have a great time reading books and being a librian
Hi Holly! Have a question for you that I would like to send via private message! Could you follow me back so that option becomes available? ;)Thanks,~ Tish
Thanks for the approvals!
Hi Holly! In regards to your combine request for Meditations by Marcus Aurelius; I rejected 2 editions that were included. An Unknown Title that was a collection of three works, and The Inner Citadel, as it contains extensive additional material or commentary by Pierre Hadot. If I'm mistaken, please let me know!Thanks~ Tish
Hi! I saw that you and ScarTissue approved my combination request for "Minna von Barnhelm (the one with 90 editions), and I just wanted to thank you for going through this mega-request. :) I didn't know there were so many editions, and they just kept coming as I went along. ;)Thanks again!Annette
I would love it if you browse through my book dog'matic. It's fun and I think you'll like it. God bless.
WowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
how do u do edits
Hi, Holly.I just wanted you to know I had to separate nine editions from Sir Walter Scott’s Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft that didn’t belong under that title before accepting your combination request. I also sometimes forget to review the editions within a title before requesting that it be combined with other titles, so I can understand the mistake.Have you been reading bits of Orlando? A friend told me he suspected each chapter is a take-off on a particular writing style of British literature, showing how styles change over the centuries. I don’t know if that theory is right or not. I hope you like the novel, er, “biography.” I did. I added a glossary to Shelfari’s Orlando page. It would be nice to know if someone actually used it.
Just me - I've started to post the publishing history for Hume's History on the Clean-up Group. I'm only through the first of Lord knows how many pages that I'm cutting & pasting from. I'll then recopy everything into a word doc and try to identify and eliminate dups and eventually come up with some sort of master list. Look it over and let me know what you think. Esp. if you think this approach is a waste of time.
Holly - haven't forgotten about Hume's History. I'm trying to nail down more of a publication history to accurately separate/combine editions. The Hume/Smollett work is different - it was expanded by Smollett. Also, the Studentn's edition needs to be separate as well. There are also other History of Englands that have been sidetracking me a bit. All in all it's quite a mess - but there's nothing like a challenge :-)
