Got 611.

The other day, I added my mother's newest book on here, but she just told me she would rather it not to be on here. Can I get one of you fine people to take it down? Thanks!

We don't delete published books from the database.

This box set belongs to a GR author but is redundant: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

This actually looks like it might have been the paperback version of the boxed set that lost a lot of information in the Amazon purge. The other edition is a kindle set.

Whoops, must've gotten lazy and missed it! Good catch ;)

Looks like someone got it.

Whoops, I was doing too many things at once and forgot to come back. Sorry! ;)

Please Delete this book:

This book is being picked up by another publishing company and will be released at a later date.

Thanks

Are you referring to all three editions, or just the one you linked to?

All three editions.

Thanks again.

Re 627, I don't think those can be deleted, as users have already shelved them, but I'll defer to rivka. 90% sure though. I'd put a note that they'll be published at a later date under another publisher in the descriptions.

In that case, we should go ahead and create a placeholder for correct upcoming version of the book so that all the people who've marked your book for their to-read lists won't lose that record.

If you can provide any details for the new record (the new title if it's changed, new publishing company, tentative publishing date or year, etcetera), someone can get that for you.

I think it's best we wait on that one, as one of the editions is in a giveaway. Luckily the giveaway ends in a few days so we should be able to zap it then.

Stories from anthologies, never published as standalones. Already combined into appropriate editions:

I look like a movie:

I can delete, but my paranoia is kicking in. Is it a movie?

It sure looks like a movie, and the sole reviewer addressed it as one.

BTW, thanks. :D

Delete it

I deleted it.

I searched by isbn and didn't find them so I added them as new books >.<

640 done.

This one needs to go:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Its isbn is an invalid one of this edition.

Actually, it's a perfectly valid ISBN10. It's just in the ISBN13 slot, and a duplicate of the other.

Merging.

Hi wonderful librarians! Could someone fix a duplicated book page for me?

This: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

is a duplicate of the already existing edition attached to my author account here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Thank you so much! Keep up the magnificent work!

Elizabeth, that edition shouldn't be deleted, it has an ISBN attached to it. I've moved it to your profile though.

The placeholders don't, though. Merging.

Delete?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

Yes. Gone.

Please delete and combine.

649 done. Thanks for the legwork Tom.

Thank you, Librarians! But now there's a problem . . . it appears someone deleted the UK edition of the book (which was the primary edition on my profile, which a lot of adds and the listopia lists were attached to)? Is there any way to get it back? Cheers for the help!

Both of the editions merged* were no-ISBN editions. Is there another ISBN that should be in the system besides ISBN 9781452114231?

*And as they were merged into ISBN 9781452114231, no listopia votes or shelvings were lost, just transferred.

All the lists, reviews, and so on were moved to the remaining edition. Because of caching, it may take a day or two for them to fully show up, though.

Oh, excellent! That's much better. Thank you so much for your help, you guys are awesome. :D

Hi, I accidentally created two books instead of just the one as I intended. How can I get this one deleted: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... ?

I have the correct one already listed - it has the cover art.

Thank you for your help.

Does this one needs to go?

It looks like a placeholder since it's missing both an ISBN-10 and ISBN-13, but it has a page number so I'm not exactly sure.

Got 655. 656 was a placeholder, I got that too.

Is this book a published book?

Nate wrote: "asfdfs

That would be another author wiping away his books for some reason. *sigh* But the ISBN was re-imported by ingram, so merging.

First time requesting:

This book can be deleted, I think, as it seems to be a duplicate (with little info) for this book.

Got 660.
