I guess it's list owners and maybe librarians who can delete? This list needs a ton of editing...and sad too because there are a lot of readers who love this genera.

Katrina - are you a list owner or admin? I am seeing in this thread here Susanna and you both have been able to edit books off that were put up here and are not travel books. The travel genera does not mean fiction that takes you on a journey like "Journey To the Center of the Earth." I think some folks who posted to this list have not a good grasp of what this genera is.

There are many lists and only a few librarians are interested in listopia. The very best of the bunch are Themis~Athena and Susanna who do check the comments, however there are many lists to get through.

This list is overdue a booting-out session and if you list the title and its position in the list then you are being helpful.

This is really the only list for this genera on Goodreads and would be nice to have it clean and neat. I would very much like to look into what, who, how to be promoted to a librarian.

You could go over to the Librarians group ( http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/2... ). The only firm requirement to be a librarian is 50 books on your profile. The link to where you apply is on the Librarian's Manual page (you'll find a link to the manual at the group).

I dashed through the list Favorite Travel Books and came up with a list of ones that need to be removed as not being travel genera. There also is something wrong with the programming for this list with regard to position numbers within the list. There are many position #'s that are re-generated over and over, some are used more than 100 times for different titles. Am not sure if this is a site wide problem occurring or if possibly this is being caused by some unknown books showing up in the list. There are a # of these unknown books that I have included in my list. I think because my list might make this post too long, I will end this post and then start a new reply with my list appearing in that post. Thanks so much for your help. Would be curious why the list position #'s are being re-generated.

There are a # of art history titles someone put into this list. Also a # of Ken Follett novels someone put into this and a # of other lists his books don't belong in.

Does not belong on this list for travel genera:
Life On the Mississippi – #33 (fiction)
Innocents Abroad – #51 (fiction)
Two years Before the Mast – #91 (fiction)
Steve Jobs – #157 (biography - non travel)
A Tramp Abroad – #250 (fiction)
Unknown Book 12630385 – #264 (something wrong with the numbering on this list as #264 goes on for a good 200+ titles – this Unknown Book might be causing this numbering problem (list page 3)
The Pillars of The Earth – Ken Follett – #264 (list page 4) (someone went through and added a lot of Ken Follett books to this and a few other lists)(fiction)
Unknown Book 12604164 - by Rieko Nakagawa (list page 5) – #345 – again #345 goes on showing as the list position for hundred + books – thinking these unknown titles are tossing off the list numberings.
Seabiscuit: An American Legend – #345 – again another book appearing at position #345 (non-ficton, non travel genera)
Don Quixote - #345 (fiction)
Unknown Book 11823685 #396 – again a list position who’s # is re-generated for 100+ book title/positions in this list.

Fall of Giants – Ken Follett – #396 (fiction)

Yes, Two Years Before the Mast is generally a library classification in the sub topic of Ships-history, and nautical/maritime fiction. It reads often like non-fiction, but is a cross of his own travels and created fictional characters in place and time. His family hailed from my current neck of the woods - so there is a lot of local interest in his work.

Thanks - that's 4 right there I did not spot and include in my list. Hopefully it's not too time consuming for you to deal with this. Travel genera is very popular and this is (I think) the only 'good' list on Goodreads that covers the genera. Any idea what the deal is with the duplication of list position numbering?

I also question Hemmingway's A Movable Feast being in travel genera. I never have seen it classified as such - but oddly see it's garnered 35 votes on this list. It's classified at Library of Congress I am checking against here as fiction, crossed with American bio. If Movable Feast is travel genera, it's a surprise to me - I would think also then his The Sun Also Rises would be as well in this genera. I think it probably got so many 'votes' on this list just because it's such a recognized author..and many would place random votes based on that alone if even they never read the book to know what genera it is. I did not include it on my list above but seriously 'hover' over it needs to be 'moved' off this list.

Thanks so much for all your time and efforts! Good catch on the Tocqueville edition. Will be curious to know what is the policy on these books that end up unknowns. Not sure how a title ends up unknown unless it's not been correctly combined or fully deleted comes to mind. I was an art history major for my first BA degree, so am very familiar with the titles in the list above as compendium/coffee table/academic reference/text books. The only one I did not have as a text was History of Beauty...and Sister Wendy's book came out after I completed my education, but am very familiar with her art history book(s) and videos.

Oh my! That must have been a huge ordeal. The unknown book titles will come back if they are loved by even 1 person using Goodreads. Eventually, someone will do a purge I would think of the GR system to rid the database of all sitting there as unknowns. I admire all the work people do to contribute. I did fill out the librarian form. Have not heard anything. Maybe I won't. Either way, I can find means to help.
