Also, this is only part 14. ;)
Can a super librarian please delete this:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
It has nothing to distinguish itself as a unique edition.

Thanks in advance."
Looks like it was actually meant to be an alternate cover edition and the ISBN/ISBN 13 got merged. Fixed and notes added.
This edition has a truncated version of the most popular edition's ISBN13...can someone please delete it?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...
Thanks!

Ok, thx ;)
Please delete this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/83... (the default is already the hardcover ed)
Hey, where is 747? Both Kindle editions have vanished...
Got 747, FYI I deleted the one with less info, and moved the ASIN to the correct field on the remaining edition.Got 748

I'll re-add the kindle edition.
ETA: Nevermind...look like you beat me to it again.
I got 749. We were lucky this time. I had the opportunity to check the B&N one before the merge and it was shelved zero times so I just migrated the data.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... was added erroneously.When I try to delete it:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/16... => “delete this book”
I am told “Only super-librarians can delete books with so many reviews”.
Though as far as I can see reviews for this book are non-existent !?
Correct book entry can be found at
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
Working on 754 and 755. Since the truncated ISBNs are the most popular, I will be migrating the correct data to the most popular edition, and then deleting.ETA: 754 and 755 done.

There are two reasons for this:
1. GR counts all shelvings of a book as a review, i.e. every person who has added it to "my books" (to-read, not-interested, read, etc.).
2. Only super-librains can delete a book that is not combined with another edition. This prevents any reviews/shelvings from being lost. Even things like DVDs we try to combine with the book before deleting so that the person still has the title on their shelves. :)

I suppose you could but you don't have to. Speaking for myself, I don't mind doing it. And it never hurts to have a second set of eyes looking at it. :)
I simply made note of it this time to prevent colliding with another librarian, like a few posts back. lafon is right in that we got lucky with that one.
