As Shelfari's design guy, I'm half artist and half computer geek. I'm really into User Interface Design and CSS/HTML coding, so my real world book collection is about half art/design books and half programming books. While I read mostly non-fiction books, I'm hoping that this job will inspire me to tackle some of the classics that my beautiful... more »

    re Arrowsmith...

    I trust you. I've done so many of these things I can't even remember what that was. Looked at my edit history and still can't remember.

    I think it is time I call it a night - probably will make more mistakes if I continue. I'll pick it up again tomorrow.

    Thanks for posting the note to 'splain things to me.

    What a sweet picture! I was wondering, if I'm combining books and the book with an actual cover is after the blue cover with the same title, is there anyway to make the actual cover be the main book (what an awful sentence, why I'm a reader and not a writer!) Also, if I add a new book about how long will it take for me to be able to search for it? Thanks for all your help!

    Hi again! I've been working today on adding my cookbooks and have been trying cleanup as I go. I've come across a cookbook that was incorrectly combined with a few other titles:

    http://www.shelfari.com/books/1608636/Grilling-Fanfare-(Fanfare)/editions

    After looking at the editions I'm assuming this should stay Grilling Fanfare (I mistakenly submitted a title change before checking the editions, sorry about that, learning from my mistakes!). I moved the Williams Sonoma Grilling to another edition. However I couldn't find a place to move Grilling (Great Taste, Low Fat) and Grilling (Great Recipes Collection). In this case should I submit a new title in order to move them? I don't own either of those books, however after looking them up on Amazon I'm certain they are entirely different cookbooks. Thanks in advance!

    Oh! Yes, that's probably right.

    That does make sense, thank you. I wasn't certain if the title and main cover image took priority over the editions or not, so I appreciate the clarification.

    Oh thank you so much! That should make this project a bit easier. I started getting quite bogged down last night by all the mixed up titles, so I really appreciate your trying to sort it out. Cheers!

    Thanks for the invite. I'm glad to help make Shelfari better place. When I'm listening to audiobooks I get carried away editing...

    Hi Timothy. I had started studying visual communications. We probably read the same or similar books.

    Hello Timothy, I have been trying to combine authors there, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong. These are indeed different books, but the author is the same. "Syskonkarlek", "Ludvig mein Liebe" and "Ik en mijn broer" are different editions of the same book, Syskonkarlek, though.

    Me again, another thing on the series, maybe it's all symbols that don't work exactly right - the book Breakfast in Bed by Sandra Brown is in a series called Bed & Breakfast. The & translates as Amp (ampersand, right) and no books show in the series.

    You really know how to push a competitor's buttons (#4, I don't know if I can stand that! lol) I have found that the editing tools are pretty good. I would like to be able to delete books that have been added in error but I'm sure you can't let everybody that deep in the system. I do have a question, if you have time . . . I added a series Maggie O'Dell (Book 7 in the series is Black Friday, Alex Kava is the author) I think the apostrophe is causing a problem, when you try to look at all the books in the series it says Maggie ODell and doesn't show any of the series. Have you ever encountered this before?
