I don’t use the Groups often, so apologies if I’ve got this in the wrong place or it is answered - I couldn’t really figure out where to look.
I have just bought Kristin Harmel’s All the Diamonds in Paris. However, this is the same book as The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau - the first is the UK/Australia/etc. title and the second is the US/Canada title.
My question is: where on LT can I see that these books are correctly connected to each other as the same book? I don’t think it is possible in the App, but when I look at the book in my Library on the web version of LT, where can I see that these are one and the same?
Thank you!

>1 peralb: In the Common Knowledge section of the work page, there are a couple fields for alternate titles and one for disambiguation. I would expect to see the titles listed and a comment in the disambig notice about the difference per place of publication.
You can add all 3 title fields and Work Title and Author to your library columns.
And, in fact, the main work is The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau with alternate title "All the Diamonds in Paris".

There is an 'Editions' link in the left hand section (on the website), that shows all the components that are combined.
For this one the direct link to that page is: https://www.librarything.com/work/33230124/editions

>1 peralb: I just combined them. They should appear together now as a single work
You can combine yourself if you're up to it in the future (using the workbench) or post in the combiners group and someone will do it. Please include links, it's much quicker

>2 keristars: LT will chose the title for the work by selecting the "edition" with the most users. In almost all cases, you shouldn't use the Canonical Title field to override what LT chooses.

>5 jjwilson61: I'm assuming in this case, it was to clean up the junk in the titles data from Amazon. I wouldn't have set the canonical title myself, just added both as alternate titles.
