| This is about the Duplo Little Forest Friends.
I have in front of me a Belgian set 2833, which contains two storybooks (one
in Dutch, one in French) and a Dutch set 2831 with one storybook in Dutch.
The inventory only shows the English book.
All books have different item numbers on the back of the cover, but otherwise
(besides the language), they are identical.
How to deal with this in the catalogue?
I see some options:
1. Change the item number of the book into an "independent" number, and
when listing a set the language has to be added in the desciption of the set.
2. Add all different versions to the catalog using there Lego item numbers, and
create an alternate entry for each book.
What seems to be the best way to do?
Regards Peter.

| I've two books for set 2831. One is in English. The other book is trilingual
and includes English, French and Spanish. On each page that contains text there
are three paragraphs, one paragraph for each of the three languages. I also have
a trilingual book for set 1261. That book is in English, German and Danish.
There should be a catalog entry for every book for each set.
Your option 2 may work better as there appear to be books in multiple languages.
You will also be able to directly look up the catalog entry for each book based
on the item # on back cover.

Please add all different versions if you have them.
