Banjomike | 5166 comments The series that is still there has 44 entries
http://www.goodreads.com/series/57003...

The one you deleted seems to have had 59? How did you decide which one to delete

Recato  (recato) | 12 comments Just picked one of them. Then realised that was a bit stupid. So I need to either sit here for 2 hours and type in each book to add to the series. Or is there a quicker way to do it?

Recato  (recato) | 12 comments And again if I get 2 series how do I merge that into one?

Not really. That was why I asked. Generally the most complete series would be the one to keep and with 59 entries the deleted one must have been VERY nearly complete. You will just need to keep adding the editions until you get back to 59.

Don't get two series.

Add the missing books to the existing one until it matches (or improves on) the one you decided to delete.

The world survived so that gives you much more time to repair the Guinness series


Karma♥Bites ^.~ (karma_bites) | 947 comments Hopefully I'm posting in the correct thread... Noticed that this author has the same series listed 2x on author's page ("Truth and Lies").

Didn't know how to correct so posting here so that someone with more experience could handle this. Thanks!

Recato, don't forget to rebuild the Guinness World Records series you deleted last month.
