message 1: by Bob (new)

Bob | 8 comments Is there a way to indicate that editions of a book should be un-combined? It seems that all editions of "Anathem" and "The Confusion" by Neal Stephenson have been combined, and they're not the same book.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Michael, They've done it again. ;-)

Bob, Yes, There's a way to uncombine books.

You go to the combine page and at the bottom right of each section of combined books there's a separate tool link. There's also a separate link after every combined book. After you separate, you need to recombine the books that need combining.

Bob, I'll let you or Michael or someone else who knows this author do the work. Michael has had to do it several times.

Here's one author where the requested lock feature would come in handy.

Bob | 8 comments I'd be happy to do it, but one link to the combine page: http://www.goodreads.com/work/combine...
gives me a "page not found" error, and what appears to be the real link: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/545 politely tells me that I'm not a librarian :)

I was going to post the broken link issue on the feedback forum, but looks like Michael beat me to it: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...

Novin | 37 comments In the combine editions page, there is actually a seprate button and also the seprate tool button for the combined editions, you can use them.
