Fjeronimo | 21 comments Hi all,

Is it possible to add multiple editions of the same book to the library?

I have the same book in multiple languages and I would like each to appear as individual entries in my library instead of a single one.

Thanks,

fjeronimo

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Yes; if you look at the book page for a different edition or the list of editions when you have one shelves, you should see both options.

Fjeronimo | 21 comments Great. Looking at the list of editions did the trick. Thanks again Cait.

However, strangely enough for your first suggestion when looking at another edition book page (after adding one of them to your shelves) you no longer have the option (as far as I can see) to add it to your library (hence the original question).

It is replaced by a "my review" section, which will have "review this edition | switch to this edition" if we are looking at an edition not in our library. But no option to add it...

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments The "review this edition" option is what lets you add this edition separately. It means this edition, specifically, as opposed to the other edition which you've already added.

Fjeronimo | 21 comments Of course. It makes perfect sense. I don't know why but the word review in there threw me off track... I must have thought it was only for giving an opinion but not actually to add it to your library. Sorry.
