Slumpade böcker från DisassemblyOfReasons bibliotek

Om mig As you can see, I'm a member of Combiners!, and as you may be aware, Combiners! sees many of the side effects on LibraryThing of problems in imported data (e.g. when an amazon catalog entry has a bug in it, the bug will be imported to LibraryThing when it's used to create a LibraryThing catalog entry). If I refer to import errors having an effect on anyone's data, that's the kind of thing I mean.

Common issues with amazon data:
- an anthology having "Various" listed as the first author
- multiple authors' names being jumbled together as a single name in the author data (often looking more or less OK at first glance but leading to a mess on the LibraryThing end)
- not importing author / editor data at all

Om mitt bibliotek I have more audiobooks than I was aware of when I started cataloging them. A number of works come up in my catalog with multiple entries - one for the audiobook, one for the paper copy.

In CK for Dragon Tears, did you really mean Laguna Nigel or should it be Laguna Niguel?

Well, I haven't found any of the books in the second or third series, so I can't speak for that. But looking at the books under Ace Science Fiction Special marked (some of them, at least) with Series 1 - I don't see any relationship between them. There are two by the same author - John Brunner - but as far as I know he didn't set any relationship between The Jagged Orbit and The Traveller in Black (and the fact that they have the same sequence number in the series is odd - were they published together for Ace?), for instance. I'd say that this is a publisher's series and therefore shouldn't be counted as a series at all. The other hint is that the covers as displayed on that series page are all different - I can see the Ace Science Fiction Special flash on at least one, but others are clearly not published in that series.

For the second and third series - if the books were written for the Ace Science Fiction Special, and have only been published under that imprint, there's an argument that they could be considered a series. But if they've been published elsewhere as well, they're not. IMHO - we could ask in the LibraryThing Series group, if you like, to get a better LT consensus on these.

I'm puzzled by your adding the 'Ace Science Fiction Special' series. Isn't that a perfect example of the 'publishers series' that should not be added? The Witches of Karres has no relation to The Jagged Orbit except that one publisher issued them in (possibly) similar covers, and I really don't think they should be a series at all. Please argue with me if you have a reason for putting them in! Thanks.
