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

is an incorrect ISBN10 that almost matches: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

It looks like a few numbers got added to put it in the ISBN 13.

Same for this:

411 done.

I just realized I could do some of the ones I listed. I'm used to always needing a super.

Edit: Got the last 2 links in 410, but 409 and the other links in 410 need a super.

409 is done. Part of the reason I skipped them was because working on books that have large combine pages is a pain for me (Combining/separating takes an inordinate amount of time on a 56K connection).

Also 410. Thanks for the assist Krystal.

Yea I combined them. I will start doing that in the future more. Now that I know how it's done.

Is a duplicate of this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

They are already merged, they just need a delete on the non-ISBN one and then merged back into Dexter, #1

Got 417

Can you please delete this book, it's a duplicate? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

Thanks!

#419 Done

Re msg 408: Publisher lists that as the cover. They may have reused one of the covers from the individual titles...

I also checked worldcat, and the title is listed, but no ISBN. (They may not have used one though.)

Thanks.

Thank you.

Please merge these into the main edition:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

thanks!

Got 426.

Re: 421 Thanks for the double check vicki. Seems odd, but you never know with publishers.

Hi this book needs to be merged/deleted and moved to its proper listing we already have.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
to
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85...

Got 429.

Cristian, for future reference, it's helpful if you combine the two editions you are asking to have merged before posting here. Thanks!

431 done

I believe this version of Tell the Wolves is a placeholder as there are two hardcover versions with valid ISBNs already; it needs a super.

About sixth months ago, someone inappropriately removed that book's ISBN. The ISBN was since re-imported, and I've merged the two duplicate records together.

Can you please delete this book, the ISBN number is wrong and it's a duplicate? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Thank you.

got 435

Thank you.

Not entirely sure what to do about these authors:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
(another edition for the book shows the author to be G.K. Chesterton)

I'm pretty sure these need deleting/separating though:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
for which I removed the tag off the books, though it might cause "clutter" to leave the author page up.

as well as the excess authors created for http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
(google and worldcat show "He and She" to be the proper one)

... there are quite a few of these though...

Did some cleaning up of the profiles listed in #438, but "Carnegie Library" and "Center for the Study of C S Lewis and Fr" have been left alone as I'm about to leave the house.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
appear to be one and the same

Should this exist?
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
seems a bit messed up. I think it's supposed to be Timothy Leary, though "Motive and Method in the Cantos of Ezra Pound" is Lewis Leary... ?

no idea what
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
or
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
is.

The entries for Swami Virajananda just confuses me...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

So if someone more experienced could handle that mess so I don't just make an even bigger one, I'd appreciate it.

Got the Virajananda entries. They really were all the same so I just merged the authors together (also I don't believe "Swami" should be part of the name as it's more of a title than a name).

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

"The only exceptions are those where the author is known primarily by a name that includes the honorific:
Example:
Mahatma Gandhi (not Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi)"
There are several "Swami"s up here, so I'm guessing they're included in the exception.

Finished up 438. The few authors remainin from 438 have 0 books, 0 fans, 0 quotes, etc. they will be deleted by the automated clean-up script that runs ~once a month.

Looking at 440 now...

"Books LLC" has been the subject of previous discussions, an the short answer is that those stay as is.

Still looking into the others...

For future reference, Ceese, this really is not the thread to post lists of authors. We have other threads that would work, or it's always fine to start a new thread.

Yeah, thanks.. I'm not really sure why I didn't do that. I'll try to keep that in mind.

This book is a duplicate of this. ISBN number of the first one is also wrong. Can you delete it please?

Both those ISBNs are valid, and both are found on WorldCat (and elsewhere).

#440 is complete. Authors have either been merged or corrected.

442 still needs attention. I will post in the author thread for that one though.

Yes, they are valid but ISBN of first one belongs to another book. Second link is okay and the one that should stay.

I can't find anything that proves this exists and is not just a listing for people to rate as a set:

Please combine with the first item in the series. We can then merge all reviews onto that, instead of losing them.

I'll have to look into this further later.

(If another super has time before I get back to this, please feel free.)

This: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

is a duplicate of this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

#457 - One is designated Volume 11, one is designated Volume 12...so they appear to be two different books.
