Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hello! I have a slight problem with different editions. This series (http://www.goodreads.com/series/67578) has several editions; in the new edition this book (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...) is #3, but in the original series it was #3.5, so it continues to be listed as #3.5. In my own book list that uses the new edition, though, it is shown correctly (#3). Is it even possible to have a different book order for different editions of a series? I couldn't find anything about that in the manual. Thank you.

The rule is that a series has to apply to all editions of a book.

It is possible to create another series with a different order, but all editions of the books would still be linked to both series. The edition that shows on the series page is always the one that has been shelved the most times, so both series would show the same edition.

This case would probably best be served with a note about the numbering in the description.

Ah, I see. Well, in that case, a note in the description really seems the best solution. :) Thank you for your advice, Deborah!
