Please delete this book! (pt. 14)
I need a super librarian for this one. This one needs to be deleted:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...
It has no ISBN and claims to have been published in 2008. As far as I can see the latest edition is from 2003, that's the info all the online bookstores are using anyway. Here's the link to the "real" book:

Gone. Looks like the year date was the date it was added into the system by the user. I see that a lot.

It was the default for all new books added until late 2008 or early 2009.

That explains so much, I thought it was weird there were all these books with basically no info other than the "pub date."
I'm not sure, but I think this edition of IQ84 may be a redundant copy of this edition. I noticed it when I went in to fix the cover and saw the lack of ISBN.

I'm on the fence on that one, it could be considered a place holder.
Jessica wrote: "I'm on the fence on that one, it could be considered a place holder."A place holder for a book that's not released yet? Ok, I'll keep that in mind.

That's the point of the placeholder. It's coming, but there's not necessarily definitive info on it.
This book at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...is also the unknown book/author/cover at
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
They are combined in same edition but I cannot delete the second one because too many ratings so need super librarian; thanks!
(I also just went thru on author's books (originally because of new audio book releases) and found most of the German language books and some of the English ones were showing a description in French because someone marked that language's description as the default -- possibly because German was showing on French or English or something ... at any rate I fixed but I know for a fact author is U.S. based, publishes first in English, etc. but on some of his series the sales in Germany have gone thru the roof which also could have caused original issue -- enthusiastic French/German fans)
Deborah, there were no reviews on the unknown second edition so I went ahead and deleted it. Did you try to delete before or after you combined them? You need to combine them first and then do the delete, as long as it's below 5 ratings. I've seen that same issue happen with Takahashi Matsuoka's novels. He's US based but the Indonesian editions are the more popular ones. I wish there was a way to make an originally published language version show up somehow.
I am not the Dawn White author of Seeds of Hope! I am the Author of Wingless and Damned being released on October 1stSeeds of Hope <~~~ Not my Book I can't take credit for this... Please fix asap.. <3 Ty huggles
Dawn,I think this will need to be fixed by an employee. Is Wingless and Damned currently on GR? I couldn't find it?

But I should have tried deleting before posting; I saw so many ratings on book I thought needed super.
Got 126. Dawn, if you can edit your profile to give some sort of description possibly including genres you write, etc. or any information, will help avoid future confusions with other "Dawn White" books. You can also put a link to your blogspot.
Wingless and Damned will be available on October 1st.. So its not available yet. how do I get it fixed?Vicky wrote: "Dawn,

It is fixed. This is the entry for your book. Deborah entered the info, I added a photo: Wingless and Damned.
Debbie is just suggesting that if you enter more info on your author profile, it will help people adding books to determine which is the right author.
Exactly. Dawn, plus I noticed you did have a blog, with some author info, bookcover, etc. The author info is up to you what it says. Just suggesting useful that information like that gets input into you author profile. If you show a blog link, posts can also update to your goodreads feed.
oh wow y'all rock!! Thank you y'all ;) xoxo many huggles coming your way! <3

Got 137Re 136 - your link takes me the Book Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15
You need to re post the correct link
Uhm, this is DVD. Shouldn't that be deleted? (Will need a super): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
I merged #139, but I can't add the a secondary author. I added the author's name as it appears on her GR profile (M.L. Tyndall), but it won't let me add the name as it appears on the book as secondary.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
Re #140, marked it as Not A Book.

IS any one going to publish it? IF so then we would change the publisher rather than delete since people have added it
Hi, I apparently need super librarian, please,delete this (it doesn't exist under that name): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
then change ISBN of http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... to 9780987247858 (now it contains ebook's ISBN)
and correct ISBN of ebook http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... to 9780987247841
Thank you
We never change ISBNs or delete records with valid ISBNs, so these are the changes that have been made to correct the issues with The Web Designer's Roadmap:ISBN 9780987247841 has been properly marked as the ebook.
The title of ISBN 9780987247858 has been corrected.
The no-ISBN ebook edition has been merged into ISBN 9780987247841.
And ISBNs 9780987247841 & 9780987247858 have been combined.
Everything should now be set. :)
Re 155, I am cautious about deleting it. Normally, I would put in the description that the book was cancelled. However, as it appears to be a non-English book, I'm not sure how helpful that would be.Re 156, merged and ISBN NAB'd.
