Landmark Series page...gone?

I probably helped create the series page 10 or more years ago for the Landmark Books published by Random House in the 1950s and 60s. It consists of 122 titles of USA history, science, biographies, for age 10+. Today I realized it's gone. What we had before were all the books in order - each one has a number on the dust jacket spine.

As I only have a handful of these now, I can't work on it very well.

Here is one of the books from the series:
The West Point Story by Red Reeder https://www.librarything.com/work/34667/book/184403848

Ideas?

That particular book is showing as part of the Landmark Books series, number 70. Series has moved to the "Series and work relationships" part of the work page, which is why you may not have noticed it.

The series page https://www.librarything.com/nseries/1668/Landmark-Books shows 123 books. It's currently sorted by title, but you can change it to sort by number by clicking Basic Settings at the top of the right sidebar.

I just that before I read the whole of your message while looking at the same series - it was ugly by title...

#4 Why? My understanding of the new series system is that it is easy to switch a series between regular and publisher.

And someone will add them back if your post means that you will be destroying the data (as opposed to just giving a bad advice to >1 SaintSunniva:).

The series description seems to go to a web page that is no longer in service?

>7 al.vick:

Yeah, SFF Net folded a few years ago. I am not sure where it migrated to - will try to find it later. Meanwhile added a couple additional descriptions.

There is no reason to remove books from publishers series. If I have a book that is listed in a regular series that my book isn't part of I have always moved my book to the publishers series.

>10 Collectorator:

If you are removing books from publisher series then it affects everyone with books in that series. You are literally making the data less good for everyone.

>10 Collectorator:

I do not care what you do when you do it in your own books. What I care about is someone (anyone) giving bad advice to users and someone (anyone at all) deleting, destroying and removing valid data from the site. Those concern everyone - not just the person who does the malicious (and/or badly informed) act.

LibraryThing prohibits personal attacks, name-calling

While I agree this sounds like a valid regular series to me (but personally I'm not familiar with it - so I'll leave that decision to others), deleting that info entirely sounds like vandalism.

Whoa, what a hornets' nest. I'm sorry.

But, I'm also still frustrated with the whole thing, having just discovered another series that has locks on it, so I can't add anything to it.

in case anyone is interested, should have this one added to it

All the series have locks on them in common knowledge, you have to use the new series system.

>18 SaintSunniva:

Once again, series is no longer handled via Common Knowledge. That's why you see the lock in that CK field.

Go to the "Series and work relationships" module, and you can add the book from there.

>19 al.vick:, >20 lilithcat: thank you. I'll try.

So, when I try and do that (put in the name of the series and click Search) on the Series and Work Relationships module of the book I have...it comes up with No Results, even though the series page I linked to above has seven titles in it.

And then I tried again and searched for a series by the author's name, and the series I was searching for came up.

Phew.

>21 SaintSunniva: That's probably because search is down at the moment. Try again when it's back up.

I did, with a search by author and the series came up.

And now I have, I think, completed that little series. AND ordered them in date order, too. As there are only 11 titles, it wasn't too hard. I'll bet Don Lawson would've written more of them, if he'd lived longer.

Thank you for your help >20 lilithcat:. (It is very hard for me to learn new ways of doing things on LT.)

>24 Collectorator:

When you say you'll be removing your books from the series, my assumption is that you mean books in your catalog, and I am curious as to how you would do that without removing those titles from the series page for everyone else who has them cataloged. The new series system is still a type of common knowledge, even if it is no longer contained withing the CK framework, so what one member does affects everyone.

>24 Collectorator:

people deleted my posts.

No one "deleted" your posts. They were flagged, so they are not visible. But anyone can see them simply by clicking "show". They are still there.
