1782095 Yes "From the Recipe Box" was the earlier out-of-print edition of "From My Family Recipe Box" The I would like to also add the pictures of thecovers to the listings.

"A Journey Through My Country Life" is also the same situation.

By the e-book we are getting better at this - I hope.

Thank You for all your help. Now to get some sold.

1005037 Dori, if your earlier books are now out of print, you can modify their descriptions to indicate this, but the GR catalog keeps all books listed, even those no longer available. (If you'd like to tie your user profile to your authorship of these books, go to the author profile and click on this "Is this you?" link. If you'd rather a librarian modify them for you, just let us know what you'd like them to say!)

If "From the Recipe Box" is an earlier edition of "From My Family Recipe Box", by the way, the usual way of indicating this is to have them all combined as editions of one book; then readers can easily see which is the most recently published. Is that the case with these books?

Also: I corrected these, but please be sure when you're adding books with 13-digit ISBNs that you put that in the ISBN-13 field, not the ISBN field -- otherwise the last three digits are cut off!

171430 I only found one extra left and it's gone now.


message 39: by Lara Amber (new)

1094032 There are multiple copies of Stephen King's UR. I got rid of the ones I could, but there are still extra that had enough reviews on them it requires a superuser.


message 38: by rivka, Volunteer Mod (new)

171430 Done!

83445 Thanks. Bethaney.

Actually, by the time I got to it the one with the picture did have the ISBNs.

Generally with this situation, I will transfer the ISBNs to the one with all the information such as cover image, taking the ISBNs off the otherwise empty edition, then I'll combine them if not already combined and delete that latter edition.

2490196 I am the author of Vasilisa and the Queen of AspsVasilisa and the Queen of Asps. The book has 3 editions. Somehow, the friend on Goodreads have added a 4th edition of my book that does not exist. The listing for it has no isbn or picture. I have tried deleting it but I do not have super librarian status. Here is the link:

Can someone help?


message 28: by rivka, Volunteer Mod (new)

171430 Indeed. Merged!

Thanks. :)


message 26: by rivka, Volunteer Mod (last edited Oct 13, 2009 06:48AM) (new)

171430 Got it. (For future reference, if you can separate just the two affected editions, it makes it easier. Thanks!)

2640167 K new one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11420...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14067...
The second has an invalid ISBN taken from half the ISBN-13. They are the same book.
Thanks in advance


message 24: by Lisa (new)

83445 cat, You're right. I got the second one. Thanks.


message 23: by the_cat (new)

2640167 Hi
I suspect these two books are the same:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52910...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46834...
I cant delete the second because of the votes.
Thanks


message 22: by Michelle (new)

1838733 Thanks rivka!


message 21: by rivka, Volunteer Mod (new)

171430 Thanks for noticing that Michelle. Merged!


message 20: by Michelle (new)

1838733 I think these two are the same book. The ISBN for the untitled version brings up the titled version on Amazon.

834216 I think it's fixed now; sometimes when you combine the cache gets confused over which book is most popular.

I merged the Kindle and Print editions into one listing, but for some reason, although I started with the print as primary and tried to add the Kindle into that, the database for some reason decided to make the Kindle the Primary edition ... couldn't find a way to swap them back around.

Could I get a little help with this, please? Thanx.

2150375 Thank you!




message 16: by Melody (new)

186853 I got the duplicate and merged it back with the other editions.


message 15: by Val (new)

2150375 Hi,

I need the help of a super-librarian :)

This edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55093... is a duplicate (with incomplete data) of this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16076... . I checked carefully, and I'm sure of it.

But I can't do the whole "separate-merge-delete-combine again" thing because the incomplete duplicate has 7 reviews.

Thanks!
Val


message 14: by rivka, Volunteer Mod (new)

171430 I got all three duplicates.


message 13: by Ben (last edited Jul 04, 2009 07:22PM) (new)

1188122 I combined each of those three books to which you've linked, Michelle. But a super-librarian will have to delete the duplicate editions.

And no worries about finding all the books! That's what librarians are here for ... we like to organize things. Incidentally, there's a dedicated topic for deleting books.


message 12: by Michelle (new)

1838733 sorry.... found another. I'm just going through my wishlist shelf doing updates and they keep popping up!

186853 I'm glad to know that Cait.


message 8: by Charli (new)

833210 Thank you, Cait, that worked. I was able to change then combine. :-)


message 7: by Cait (new)

1005037 Charli, you can also directly edit the book to put in the GR author's name, although that's a pain if there's more than one or two books which need to be shifted.


message 6: by Charli (new)

833210 Thank you, Melody!


message 5: by Melody (new)

186853 You can message the author and ask them to make the change. They are the only one who can correct them.


message 4: by Charli (new)

833210 I was trying to combine these (same book, different editions; author's name put in with different initial spaces) but couldn't because the the author is a goodreads author. Help?

message 3: by rivka, Volunteer Mod (new)

171430 Got it.


1847538 I merged the two, updated the title of the one with the ISBNs to include the series information. Unfortunately a super-librarian will need to delete the entry with no information, as it has too many reviews associated with it for me to do so.


message 1: by Michelle (new)

1838733 There are two different entries for this book. One has an ISBN and one doesn't.
