So I came across this series today: https://www.librarything.com/series/The+Annotated+Books

It's a little bit of a mess. Most of the works in the series are Norton Annotated editions, though there are some missing. But some aren't (I didn't check all of them, but I don't think any of the Austens are by Norton), and so don't belong in the series by any understanding.

I think it ought to be split up into multiple series, more clearly labeled, i.e., "Norton Annotated Editions" or something. But there's already a publisher series called that... but that's wrong, right? Because the Norton Annotated Editions are (as LT defines the terms) a series of "works," not "editions."

I'm happy to work on this myself, but I can't right now. If anyone wants to pitch in they're welcome to!

Or if someone wants to tell me I've got it wrong, that's okay too.

I don't think this is supposed to be a Norton Annotated Editions series. I think this was created by a single user for their annotated books. That or there is another company doing annotated books which labeled their series "The Annotated Books." So not sure what there is to fix?

If your first theory is right, then there shouldn't be a series at all.

If your second theory is right, then the Norton Annotateds shouldn't be mixed in there.

So either way there's something to fix.

Then it would be a lot of separating. *shrug* both theories are guesses.
hillaryrose7 seems to be the creator...
