Melina (melinaklepsch) | 7 comments Hi,
i'm checking the german Versions of Walter Moers Books and found a dublicate.
I would be glad if a super libarian could delete this edition:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/80...
I've already combined the two affected editions. As soon as the dublicate is deleted i will combine the version back to its other editions.
Thanks!

is this assumed, then changed according? or is it just left alone


message 681: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Normally I wouldn't make assumptions, but seeing as the edition is completely blank, and the author has stated on their website that a Kindle edition exists... I would leave it for now, until I can find an appropriate source for the ASIN.

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got 701, 702, and 704.

Re #703, why do you think it needs deleting? It appears legit.


message 692: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 703 I got. I was getting a timeout with the original edition so I switched the truncated ISBN with the proper one.

Andy | 136 comments Just curious... Why do so many books need to be deleted? Page 15 of Part (or Post) 15 sounds like a lot of books.

With anyone being about to add books, we tend to accumulate a lot of duplicate records. ;)

It's usually placeholders that become obsolete once the actual editions are added to Goodreads, or when editions have been added incorrectly (truncated ISBNs, incorrect authors, etc) or if there are duplicates. As you can see it happens very often.
