      We do not delete books that were published but are now out of print. (And at least one of those is still for sale, in any case.)
Edit: Are you trying to get these removed from Goodreads, or removed from your author profile because they are not by you?

Removed from Goodreads. Not a single copy (not one) was sold. Nobody has a copy and no one will ever obtain a copy and it is not traditionally published, so I think it is appropriate to have them removed because nobody can get it and no one has ever gotten ahold of those books. Sorry to sound so blunt. I just want to make sure everything is clear :)
        
      Nonetheless, once a book has been listed as being for sale -- via traditional publishing, self-publishing, etc. -- GR policy is not to remove it from the site.

      help! I am a Good Reads author but somehow I have two editions of the same novel.The first is here
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
This one is no good as it will not link direct to book sites like Amazon
The second is this one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
This one works fine and users can pre order from it.
Ideally, the first link would just be erased and my site would carry the one immediately above. Can you help?

 Hi all, I'm Wendy Webb, a Goodreads author. I was just updating my site to reflect my new book, The Fate of Mercy Alban, and I noticed that there are a bunch of books on my dashboard written by another author with my same name. Oddly enough. She is not a Goodreads author, as far as I can tell. I tried to delete them, but can't. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

      Wendy, which books are not yours? We can move them to a separate profile, rather than deleting them. (Which should NOT be done, and that's why the system won't allow it.)
    
  
  
   Hi Rivka! There are a lot of them. It's weird because my novels are mysteries about family secrets set in haunted houses, and this Wendy Webb also writes ghost stories. Go figure! As far as I can see, she's not a Goodreads author, and most of these were published a long time ago. Thank you SO MUCH for your help!

As far as I can see, she's not a Goodreads author, and most of these were published a long time ago. Thank you SO MUCH for your help! Here are the titles that should be moved:
Gothic Ghosts
More Phobias
Last Resort
Bee Movie
Mean Cuisine
Paradie Mislaid and Found
How the Mermaid Lost her Voice
Dark Love
Zombiesque
Mammoth Book of Vampire Stories
In the Shadow of the Gargoyle
The Seaharp Hotel
Shadows 10
Deathport
Thanks Youre the Best

      Ok, that should be all of them. 
If any show up on your profile in the future (from imports, or users adding them manually), just post in this group and someone can move then over to the other Wendy Webb.

The following editions need to be deleted as well, according to the librarian who made the note. Non-existing hardcover edition was added. Complete note:Travelling Diva said:"Please DO NOT combine this book back to Dark Lover until the "hardcover" edition of this book is deleted! Only the Finnish paperback edition is valid. Thank you"
Although I did combine the editions to make it easier for the super librarian.

 I finished the first half of the request.
      I finished the first half of the request. As for the second half, I have to leave it as I don't have the time currently to work on it.
 #1013-1019 done (One of them turned out to be an alternate cover edition that was masquerading as a dupe after imports changed one of the covers.)
      #1013-1019 done (One of them turned out to be an alternate cover edition that was masquerading as a dupe after imports changed one of the covers.)Re #1020: The covers are also a bit different, so I've marked it as an alternate cover edition. On the other hand, I see it was changed from an ebook to a hardcover a while back, so I'll see if I can find out if it was actually supposed to represent an ebook version.
Edit: 1021 done
 Re 1023: Another case of an alternate cover edition masquerading as a dupe because of imported cover changes. Reverted the bot!changes, and marked the no-ISBN edition as an alternate cover edition.

 I fixed the author's name and separated out the appropriate title, but please delete this duplicate:

Then it needs to be recombined with:

#1022 is also an alternate cover edition.
Someone got #1032.
