While entering my Tolkien collection, I encounter a number of problems. One of these is the Series designation. Some are classified as Series Prisma books, the others as Spectrum books. But now I have a number of books of which I really cannot find a clear series name. My preference, and that also applies to the books of Tolkien that have already been imported, is to put the books of Tolkien under the series name “Tolkien” or “Books of Tolkien”.
Also with regard to the books written about Tolkien, which can be put under the series name “Books about Tolkien”.
How do you feel about this?

Shouldn't serial names also include “Under the spell of the ring” as a series?
By the way, do you think that a sub-series field is also needed for books (such as album series for comics)?

It is always difficult - even - to classify books. Sometimes they are included in a series and sometimes they are separate.
I initially chose the series, as stated on the book, but it can also be different
perhaps a subset of field

I think a subset field would be a very good option indeed.
So "Fine Sequence" for example could be called as a substring if I understand correctly, right?
But entering “In the Lord of the Ring” as a series, I have a different opinion about it.
There is only 1 “In de Ban van de Ring”, admittedly in many revised editions, but that also applies to the other stories of Tolkien. In my opinion it is a Title, not a Series.
When I pick up a book from, say, Tolkien, the first thing I read is “Tolkien” (JRR).
When I start searching in a database, I tend to type in “Series”, “Tolkien”, and not “Prisma books” or “Spectrum books”.

Rene, could the “Details” edit box have a similar format to that used in the comic books DBS ? Sometimes a line is only very unclear to check whether everything has been filled in as desired.

I see your point. That is a mistake. I'm going to adjust that together with Marco.

But how do you think what is best to do with the Tolkien books?

I also want to work with sub-series at Boeken, a la the album series at Comics. This is really necessary for larger book series.

There are also collectors who collect series, regardless of the title of the book.
So that is why Spectrum publications Or Prisma series with number should not disappear.

Are they not comparable to album series such as Lombard Collection, Free Flight and Young Europe Collection?

Then I think I should also introduce a sub-series in books that they can go into. Does anyone know a good name for these
sub-series in books?

I just purchased an anniversary edition of The Hobbit.

This has its own ISBN glued to the foil.

I can imagine that there are collectors who keep this unopened in their collection. Although some booklets are available separately except for the third booklet; Bilbo's last song.

My question is, will I also enter this as a package in Catawiki, or only the third booklet?

If I can import it as a package, in which section is it best?

Books, Comics? Or link to a section?

Package therefore consists of 1 The Hobbit reading book, anniversary edition.

Graphic Novel The Hobbit (I think it's already in the catalog)

And a special anniversary book that is not sold separately; Bilbo's last song.

Your comments please.

I think Books is the same as Comics and no packages are entered, only single items. So only enter that third booklet and possibly mention with the other books that they were also sold in a package.

This issue of The Hobbit 1548977 looks a lot like this one 1007497 .

Apart from the year, they look like two identical issues (as far as I can see) and I suspect the former is a duplicate.

How do I collect all my books from and about Lord of the rings? Selecting on Tolkien, JRR only yields part, but the Silamrillion and Unfinshed Tales are not included in this selection. If I select everything from Tolkien, I miss the books that have been published as a result of the films or, for example, the lexicon of Tyler.

My proposal would be to add to series or to type Middle Earth. I think I will have everything together in one fell swoop.

I don't understand where the problem is. All books by and about Lord of the Rings should have the series 'Lord of the Rings'. For which books has that not been entered correctly? And isn't the problem there? That a Series is sometimes entered in the Series field or something? Some users sometimes confuse those two fields.

At this the series has not been entered correctly, for example.

And at this is the Series entered as Series.

The problem is that Lord of the ring and the Hobbit are essentially about the same thing (middle-earth) and so I would like to see them together - at least in my collection. This also applies to De Silmarillion and Unfinished tales. These too are partly about The Hobbit and partly about the Lord of the ring. Furthermore, on the latter two more volumes have been published 'The history of Middle-Earth' in which parts of Lord of the ring and the hobbit are also described.

If I want an overview of the creation of Tolkien: Middle Earth, I will now have to put some selections together. By adding to kind of Middle-earth I have the whole bubs together in one click.

But Jan,
If all sixty thousand + users can just indicate exactly what they all want to see together by creating extra series for it, isn't it a mess? We have really bad experiences with multiple series per item. There is probably something better to come up with in the future ...

Middle-Earth is a continent that appears in several series by Tolkien; we don't have series West Friesland and Gaul, do we? (;-)

Instead of a mess I wanted to have it organized, but I understand - unfortunately - what you mean. I place my hopes on the future.

Nevertheless, there is still a lot of repair work to be done at Tolkien. (:-(
