Thanks for your comment. Yes, I do intend to eventually show the date read for all the books for which I have that information--which means for all the books read since 1943. That will leave about 125 books without the date finished. All my reviews (really 'comments') are based on my reaction to the book right after I read it. I agree with you that a list of books read is much more significant than a list of books possessed. I can't tell you much about a book I possess but haven't read.

Simply sort by the secondary criterion first, and then by the primary criterion. So, if you specify sort by 'Date finished' first, and then sort by 'Date started', the result will be sorted by 'Date started', but any entries that have identical 'Date started' values will be sorted by 'Date finished' within 'Date started'. Of course, this assumes your question was related to sorting within catalogue view.

Hope I have been sufficiently clear - sometimes I run on a bit in my explanations ...

postet av sylver kl. 1:32 pm (EST) den May 19, 2007

Ok. I planned to uncombine them, but I see that you just did that. Thanks!

Now, there is still some confusion as to exactly what books belong to that work. The edition I have is indeed an omnibus one, by Heineman/Octopus, 864 pages, and the mainly green cover that currently dominates its LT work page. All the six titles are listed on the cover page, which also has "complete & unabridged" printed at the bottom. There is no ISBN printed in the book itself.

However, some of the covers shown clearly belong to different editions, and LT keeps suggesting the work should be combined with editions of its constituent titles, including The Foundation Trilogy proper, probably because of LT users entering the wrong ISBN for their books. Or maybe they have the correct ISBN, but they have picked the wrong title? I guess we can't really tell without hearing from them.

Previously I have tried to minimize the confusion by identifying and separating out "hybrid" works, i.e. those where I believe the error is. We would still need the assistance of individual book owners to correct those errors, so that their books can be recombined with the appropriate works. Do you have some other idea that we could try?

postet av sm5por kl. 6:09 pm (EST) den May 17, 2007
