Joanna (walker) | 7 comments I believe Wool has some books linked to it that properly belong with Wool Omnibus.

Wool was originally published as 5 short stories (<100 pgs each). These were then published together as Wool or Wool Omnibus in print/audio format. Books that are 500ish pages long should be combined into the Omnibus listing. Books that are just the first story should be in the first listing.

As you can see, Wool #1-#5 are the short stories, while the Wool Omnibus is Silo #1. At the top it also links to the Silo Series, which contains Shift and Dust, as well as the short stories that made up Shift and some third party novels.

Since Wool was technically its own thing at first I think it having its own series entry is fine, personally. The short stories are all in the Silo entry anyway

Melanti | 761 comments I found a couple of 500+ page editions in the short story version and moved those over to the omnibus.

There's one that's around 200 pages long that's probably misplaced also, but I don't speak Estonian, so I guess I'll leave it as-is for now since it seems too long to be the short story but too short to be the full omnibus. Maybe it's the first 3 installments only?

Does anyone know if there's an audio version of the short story Wool? Was that ever published separate from the Omnibus? I didn't think so, but there's a couple of audio editions lacking ISBN/ASIN mixed in with the short stories. I left those as-is too, for now.

According to Estonian Library and Google Translate, Wool (omnibus) is published in two parts in Estonian:
http://www.ester.ee/record=b4479694
http://www.ester.ee/record=b4495257
(page count 239+335=574)

Separated the first part from the #1 editions, added the second part to Goodreads with data from publiser and added both to the Wool series.
