Linde | 6549 comments @Nic, do you also understand Korean? If so, would you be willing to add a thread about Korean? =D

(we really do need someone with Korean haha I just found an translator whose books are all in English when they should be Korean...)

ErynAmrod | 196 comments I closed 23. I think it is a real book, but I can't find enough info online to verify the data. I've let the poster know they can resubmit, but it was from a long time ago so I'm not sure they will.

Nic seems to be in the process of handling 24. Btw, Nic, I think I combined that edition with an incorrect edition and I don't know if I fixed it. I'm sorry! You might want to take a look.

Can you give theses books a Japanese or Chinese title and description? I'm not sure which language, sorry.

Can you change/add the title and description in(to) Japanese for these two books?

ErynAmrod | 196 comments All done on page 1 except 43. I'll post that one the Chinese page.

I think you'll be better off asking the Arabic group because they'll be able to search in Arabic to find out what this book was originally.


message 40: by ErynAmrod (new)

ErynAmrod | 196 comments Regarding 53, those ASINs no longer seem to exist and the records don't have ISBNs. There is also another record already existing that does have an ISBN and is correct so I think these two should be marked invalid. What do others think?

I can't find it on Goodreads based on what I presume to be the author's name and book title based on the English description.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2278 comments These are Ruth Park books, from the Muddleheaded Wombat series, but I don't feel confident to combine them with the English language versions or to add her name in Japanese.

1/ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

2/ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

3/ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

Series in English if that is any help - I don't know if the series is complete.
https://www.goodreads.com/series/6876...

This one I don't know Worldcat shows the publisher as Kokudosha if that is any help

This one just needs Ruth Park's name in Japanese, & if you can find the cover or write a blurb that would be great.

ErynAmrod | 196 comments Carol, I've started working on this but there's a lot of duplicates in these books and it looks like there should be two seperate books for books titled The Muddle-headed Wombat: the omnibus version that has the first 4 stories, and the original original one that only has 1 story. A bit annoying they titled them the same, but that seems to be the case.

Anyway, seperating and sorting through auto generated duplicates to make sure I can combine the Japanese version with the correct edition may take some time.

No worries. I have sat on this for ages - there is no rush.


message 47: by ErynAmrod (new)

ErynAmrod | 196 comments Carol, The Japanese books are combined with the right editions, but the English ones might still be a bit mixed up (some seemed to have the wrong publisher and year listed, and there should be some pre-ISBN books as well).

64 and 65 done.

Thank you! I'll have a look later in the week. :)
