Machiel (mctoko) | 5 comments Hello, I am not sure in which folder this question is at its best, therefore: Question.

I have some omnibus books, see for example:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

This book consists of 5 books by 5 different authors. so far so good. But when I try a search for an author in my books, this book only shows with the first author.

This means I cannot find all books from the other authors in the omnibus.

What is the correct procedure to add an omnibus with different writers?

Thanks for the help, Machiel

Cait, thanks, I am happy to know the input is correct. But the search is vital for the program, in order to keep track of your books. Do you know if it is on some sort of list or should it be reported somewhere?
