Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

There are a couple things missing from the book profile .

1. The name of the actual author Giovanni Boccaccio is not added next to AA.VV. I dont know if its supposed to be that way since this is a shortened book with selected stories from the actual source material.

2. The language should be changed to norwegian/bokmål since the title itself is written in norwegian.

3. This is the synopsis from the back of the book (In norwegian):

Et utvalg erotiske fortellinger fra Boccaccios mesterverk, oversatt til moderne norsk og illusterte med ti enestående fargebilder samt en mengde svart/hvitt tegninger

4. The original publishing date of the book is January 1, 1349. This norwegian version was published 1981 by Den norske Bokklubben. Im not sure which should be added.

Note to other librarians:
I have done some updates to the book here. It is basically a Norwegian translation of this version. There is also another Australian edition of this version that I'm aware of, but it is currently (incorrectly?) combined with a "Selected Tales" master release (a master release consisting of 127 editions featuring wildly different selection of tales...)

I have also tried combining Work IDs 99267158 and 126545778, but the combine function is currently not working for me.

Those are not Work ID's but Book ID's. You have to click through to "All editions" even when there is just one edition.

Thanks, Arenda! No wonder it wasn't working ;)

Hi everyone, I think that on number 1 Is correct that Boccaccio Is the principal author cause the stories are his. About number 4 I think that the original publishing date Is intended to refer when the book of stories has been publisher, not the original Decameron.

Thank you for the help good people :)

Please, help librarians and move this thread to the Archive folder.
