I only just learned that it is possible for inappropriate books to be removed from lists.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
is for books that were referenced by Aleister Crowley, and someone added The Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick for Modern Times even though that was not even published until long after Crowley was dead. Much obliged if someone could delete that from the list.

I've sent this thru the separator over a dozen time, both from here and directly on the (too large) combine page, and I just get ignored. Other separates have worked, as have combines. Is it just being weird, or can anyone else hit this successfully?

Done, though I'm still trying to get all of the Saberhagen/Hart adaptations separated from the original
Thanks for providing all possible proofs. I'm a Super and will look into what can be done to fix it.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...is a bad import that should be merged into the main GR author profile.
This is beyond my Super rights, but I'm not sure if it needs to go to staff, nor whether that should be here or via the report form. I didn't see a mega-post thread for these, which I think there used to be since it's a perennial issue.
Ah, yes, thank you kindly!
Thanks for your guidance, David. I've implemented the new edition as suggested; obliged if you'd care to check my work to ensure that I got it right.
Deleting it will only lead to it being added again. After a bit of research, I see that it was been widely republished as a spurious FSG quote for decades, so it will assuredly arise again and again like like the undead.I have instead added the "misattributed" tag: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/...

The current entry for ISBN 0850305519 published by Harper is linked here. I have another entirely different, earlier UK trade-paperback edition in hand with the same ISBN, but:•published by The Aquarian Press ("part of the Thorsons Publishing Group")
•in 1987
•with a completely different cover
While I am a Superlibrarian myself, I am uncertain of the process for adding such a variant, as I've never encountered a case quite like this (both ACE and duplicate ISBN), and I want to ensure the linkages go in correctly. I could use some help from another Super here. Also, I am not seeing the ACE or ISBN tool links where I was expecting them, so I think something might have changed in the process while I was off doing other things.
Once the new edition has been added, I can attach a photo of the cover, which does not match any of the other existing editions.
Much thanks in advance.
Hi Carl,The trouble with those unpublished Sunbelt listings is that both of them are listed on Amazon as things that exist, though they are not available for purchase.
If you can somehow get them deleted from Amazon, whether directly or through Sunbelt, that would make is far easier to get them deleted from Goodreads as well (noting that Amazon has owned Goodreads for some years now).
But basically, Goodreads is a catalog, not a marketing site. Amazon is the marketing end. So basically anything that ever existed—including so thin an "existence" as this—remains in the catalog even if no longer marketed.
