I've changed this into > kyrillic. rp, Before Unicode was available, libraries in the US transliterated all non-latin scripts into a standard latin-ized equivalent. That is why you see the latin letters in the title. It would be good to keep both versions in the record, perhaps with the latin-ized one as an "added title" since some people are accustomed to search for them in that way. Also, since many searchers will have latin-only keyboards, they can do a search for "Voina i mir" but they could not search on the kyrillic characters. > 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. Works printed in multiple volumes should be a single edition. In the pagination field you can put "2 v." Here's an example: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL14017106M/Krieg_und_Frieden That way the edition page represents the whole thing. There are still questions about how to handle tables of contents that go across volumes, but it's a known problem. kc > > I hope for some clarification and help. > > Kind regards > R. P.
