Hello, I'm new with Open Library. (And English is not my best language - sorry). I really enjoy this library and the potential within.
I've already merged some authors and added some books and editions. It seems that there are no clear rules (or respected rules) to identify books and editions. I found many books which are actually editions of books already registered. How can we merge them? Another problem I've seen is, that it's not clear how to write, e.g. in kyrillic letters if the original title is in that language or in transcribed latin letters? Example: There is a book taken from the library of congress ( http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16234335W/%D0%9D%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%8B_%D0%90%D1%84%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8) where the title was transcribed into latin letters. I've changed this into kyrillic. Next problem: the German edition is printed in 2 volumes. I've added them as two editions of that one book?! Not very good/logic, I think. I hope for some clarification and help. Kind regards R. P. Braunov
