Moloch | 3975 comments It seems that this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is an adaptation of the short story for young readers and should be combined with these https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... and not with the original (see also the librarian note here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... )

I have moved the adaptator's name up, I was going to separate this edition but unfortunately it is also the most popular one, so I'm asking for help from more experienced librarians

edit: also please check if this https://www.goodreads.com/series/2034... is really a series or not: I think not

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments I would also doubt if it's a series (a sherlock holmes series should be an english one ... and the description with a year, sounds more than a list of paperbacks from a special year - obviously the "Series should fit on all editions of the work" doesn't fit here)
The one book series Obra Completa de Sherlock Holmes (1 books) sounds a bit weird too
(looks more like people just did series for Sherlock in lots of different languages (e.g. that dutch one))

edit: oh the "one book" series isn't one - it has just lots of non primary works (which makes it even weird)

Working on separating them. Separated and combined with the other adaptations.

When the most popular edition needs to be separated, all other editions need to be separated from the most popular.

They appear to have different ordering/numbering than the English series.
