Sorrrryyyyy but I have another stupid question O=)

Here in Germany some translated books are splitted in two parts with two different publishing dates.... are these editions counting as new relases or does only cound the date of the original book?

If only the original work counts, I would find it abit unfair, because the two editions are the first and sometimes only release of these books.... It would block two new books for me :/

I how you did understand what I meant, I tend do be a bit confusing writing in english....

That's not stupid question at all :)
I remembered that it was already asked in one of previous years, so I had to find ruling so not to give you wrong answer.

So...

If you are reading translated book (from English, to English, or any combination possible, it doesn't matter), you can use first published date from the language you are reading it in.

Here is original ruling. ☺


Don't you love it when publisher splits book? They've done same thing here couple of times. I wouldn't really mind if it doesn't mean that I'm paying for one book twice. Because of course, each part has full book price *shakes head*
