Dan Spencer Hi librarians — I'm the author (Dan Spencer, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...). There's one bad combine on my catalog plus two duplicate works. Please do the separation first, as the merges depend on it.

1. SEPARATE — one work currently holds two different books.

This work is titled "Acoustic Guitar 1" but three of its five editions are the Electric book — a genuinely different title with a different ISBN, different content, and its own retail listing: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Please pull these three ELECTRIC editions out:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... — Electric Guitar 1, Paperback, 2022-04-28, ISBN 9781957835068
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... — Electric Guitar 1, Paperback, 2021-10-29, ISBN 9798712383214
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... — Electric Guitar 1, Paperback, 2021-08-28, ISBN 9781736554708

Leaving behind (correctly acoustic):

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... — Acoustic Guitar 1, Paperback, 2021-08-08, ISBN 9781736554722
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... — Acoustic Guitar 1, Paperback, 2022-04-28, ISBN 9781957835051

2. COMBINE — electric guitar book (4 records → 1). After the separation above:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (ISBN 9781957835068) ← please make this the primary; it's the current in-print ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (ISBN 9798712383214)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... (ISBN 9781736554708)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (Kindle, ASIN B0CV7WCXP3, 2024-02-07)

The Kindle is the ebook of the same book under its current retail title, "The Best Electric Guitar Book for Beginners: 1 + 2".

3. COMBINE — acoustic guitar book (3 records → 1).

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (ISBN 9781957835051) ← please make this the primary; current in-print ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... (ISBN 9781736554722)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (Kindle, ASIN B0CV5XQ68W, 2024-02-06)

Same book; the Kindle carries the current retail title, "The Best Acoustic Guitar Book for Beginners". Its sibling ebook (the electric one above) was published one day later — a paired ebook launch of the two volumes.

4. COMBINE — piano book (2 records → 1).

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... — Kindle, 2021-10-27, ISBN 9781736554777 / ASIN B09KM7ZFLZ ← please make this the primary; it carries the current title
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... — Paperback, 2021-10-28, ISBN 9781736554760

Same book: sequential ISBNs from my own publisher block (…4760 print / …4777 ebook), identical subtitle, published one day apart. The paperback record still shows the pre-retitle name "The Best Piano Book for Beginners 1"; the current title is "The Best Modern Piano Book for Beginners 1".

5. One author-credit correction, if you're able. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... — The Best Music Theory Workbook 1, ISBN 9798372440364, 2023-01-03. This edition is credited to Dan Spencer + Eli Slavkin. It's sole-author Dan Spencer — the co-author credit belongs only to the two retired 2022 printings. Amazon's listing for this ISBN shows me alone. Please remove the co-author from this edition.

Thanks very much.
