RE # 458: Those are all legit ISBNs for Indonesia.

RE #457:

I looked at the publishers site and that series numbering does not go past vol. 10

http://www.bookclub.kodansha.co.jp/bc...

However, there are volumes past vol. 10, but the numbering restarts. Volume 1 - 10 cover Seasons 1 & 2 of the anime. "Restart" Vols. 1 - 3 cover Season 3 of the anime.

I will merge accordingly.

Mid-creative-process I thought that I’d lost this edition record in a crash; but later (after creating another new edition record & combining it with a previous existing record) it ‘reappeared’!

Sorry,

With thanks

Got 464.

Got 448/449/451/454.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... I can't find any evidence that this was ever published, even as a freebie on the author's site, except as part of an anthology.

Does anyone else have information that it has or should it be deleted?

Thank you very much for your 'First Aid' lafon. Sorry to be a pain.

I don't know what the heck this is, but it DEFINITELY needs to be deleted.

Agreed.
Taken care of.

I can find no information that says it was published by itself. Merged into the anthology.

Not a problem.

New editor, do I put this here? (where have I heard that before?)

to be deleted—the lost book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

ok. I gave a review of the book above 12 months ago, and now the book is said to be:
"This edition is missing a title and/or author name due to a recent data transition. If you can identify the correct title or author, please rescue this edition."

No idea how this happened, maybe I did something wrong.

However, there is a correct and separate listing of this book in goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

The simplest way of handling this would be to delete the "lost" book? Can this be done?

Ian, it's definitely nothing you did. (See here for a full explanation of what those "Unknown Book"s are.) But now that you've told us what the book is supposed to be, I've added those details back. If you can confirm that the cover image on ASIN B0050K1EZA should match the image on this one, I or someone else can add that to the record, too.

Super librarians, please delete this book, as I'm not eligible to do it myself:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

It has a wrong title and no useful info. It's redundant.

And what should I do with this book?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

Searching for the assigned ASIN, it took me to this page:

http://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Lasts-T...

I'm a new librarian, I don't want to make mistakes and damage this wonderful web-site! :)

it has to be turned into a new/separate book, am I right?

Super librarians, you may want to delete this book:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39...

It has a non-existent URL and no reliable info.

Yes, I can confirm that the two books are the same. My review confirms this. The cover is correct. "Hide in Palin Sight".

Re 482 - Done

Re - 483 - Reversed inappropriate changes done by another librarian

Re - 484 - Its the only Russian edition, should be left - have cleaned it up

Re 485 - Cover added

Thank you!

Regarding Re 484, it's not the only Russian edition, there are also these ones:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...

I'm not sure that the info on the following web-site is reliable:

Re 488 -

Then the Russian editions need to have the titles changed to Russian and the language field set if not set.

They then need to be separated from the rest and just the russian editions combined

Then post back for the editions to be deleted

Then this job should better be done by a native Russian speaker... Any librarians from Russia?

Re 484/488/490

I added as much info as I could to the Russian editions. All of the other Russian editions are hardcovers. The one requested for deletion is listed as an ebook. Therefore, I am not going to delete it.

Hi! Please merge this edition with the main one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68...
thanks!

Yes, Paula listed it as an ebook, originally it was listed as DOC (message 486). I'm still not sure if it's a reliable edition, it has no ASIN...
Thank you for the work you've done! :)

I think this isbn/book doesn't exist or wasn't in 'print'.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...

The other ebook edition is the only one I have found. The info on this one shows it was loaded by B&N, but the one they have is listed as the ebook edition that's already there. I don't remember ebooks being around in the 1990's so I think this isn't a book that is no longer in print. I don't want to delete it (or probably can't, it would need a super) but I really don't think it's supposed to be there. Help Please?

These 3 are duplicates:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

and can be merged into the main title and deleted:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Thanks!

Chances are it was an edition on B&N, so we would keep it same as any other out-of-print edition. The date looks like it may have been when the book was first published and B&N imported that for the ebook.

Gotcha. Thanks

Can you please delete that book, it's a duplicate? Thank you.

RE 505 - that is an audiobook download from Audible.com. Those do not have ISBNs. It's also the only Audible version, so it is not a duplicate.

This book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/12...
is a duplicate of this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/97...
Could you, please, merge and delete it? Thanks

Merged.

Thank you. My mistake.

I think this book should be deleted:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...

The title is wrong and has no info.
