Ilona (iloenchen) | 2 comments I tried to add a new edition to a book and it created a whole new book instead. Could you please combine those two?

Sigrun (ranugis) | 26 comments Know Your Own Personality
Yes, yes, I know mine doesn't show in too good a light.

Changed authors' names to ones shown on book cover. This sort of thing is vastly annoying to me. I can't find books in the database because they are posted under another name the author has--even if she/he never writes under that name. A good example is Emilie Loring who is listed as the author Emilie Baker Loring--Baker being her maiden name and Loring her married name. When you look at the actual book covers there is none where the author is listed under that name. It is always Emilie Loring. Are these names posted by people who want to show how much they know about the author? Or why do they list the authors under names they have never used on books? Sadly this is not the only author I've met under a strange name today. Is it being done to make it easier for people to find people they know only by their real names? I don't think Leo (or Lev in Russian) Tolstoy would care. In a lot of cases we are talking about people who are no longer living.

message 21: by Shaun (new)

Shaun Tennant (shaun_tennant) | 2 comments Hello,

I updated the cover and changed the title of a work. I created a new edition and combined them myself, only now the old one is the 'top' result and updated one is the 'other' edition. Is there any way to flip that? or does it depend on which one had more adds?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

It's called "Good Fortune" now and that will be the cover I stick with.

thanks for any help!


message 22: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

Shaun, since you are the author of the book, you change manually change the default (primary) edition of the work. http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Sigrun (ranugis) | 26 comments I've been looking at author Lisa Gardner's books and was amazed that she had a list of four pages. I started looking through them and found 9 entries of this type: Alone, by Lisa Gardner on the title line. This, of course, added nine titles to her count. It's true that I was partly responsible for getting such a long list. I keep forgetting that if you put a name in the topmost question, you get all sorts variations on the name--and I did get those as well.

Shall I just ERASE these, pending, of course, research to see if these books are doubles or other editions of the titles?

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
They seem to all have ISBNs. They need combining and editing, NOT deletion.

(Some books may also need to be moved to the various other Lisa Gardners.)

message 32: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Ledford (deborahjledford) | 41 comments I'm not sure why there are 2 versions of my novels, Snare and Staccato, but there should be only one.

I don't see 2 actual links, however when I "add book" to messages, comments, etc., 2 versions of each of these books are exhibited.

Could you help me out with this?

Okay. Thanks so much, Deon. I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly.

Steve | 5 comments Another one - the correct title ends with "making":

Also - I have this book - is it possible to submit a scan of the cover? - THanks

Amy (amy_bookworm) | 76 comments Steve, can you please clarify which edition this is the cover for? Is it both? I will fix it on the other, if so. The title is done.

^ I need to know because I saw on the internet this is a cover but I don't know for which edition...
Thanks (:


message 43: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Ingram-Brown (dibrownauthor) | 16 comments Hello,
Could you please combine these two editions of Rise of the Shadow Stealers. One is the paperback, the other the eBook. The cover art on the eBook version is wrong so please make sure the paperback version is used. Thanks.

message 44: by Amy (new)

Amy (amy_bookworm) | 76 comments Daniel, I cannot see the cover issue? Combined.


message 45: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Ingram-Brown (dibrownauthor) | 16 comments That's great - the second cover looked the same but was an older version that I uploaded by mistake so the wording was different - but now they're combined it's been deleted anyway I think. Thanks!


message 46: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Ingram-Brown (dibrownauthor) | 16 comments Hi Amy, actually I notice that the wrong cover is still there for the eBook edition - if you delete it I can upload the right one - they should be the same. Thanks


message 47: by Amy (last edited Dec 19, 2012 12:40PM) (new)

Amy (amy_bookworm) | 76 comments I've done this- thankyou (: It seems like an interesting book. I assume the synopsis is correct (and the same for both)?


message 48: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Ingram-Brown (dibrownauthor) | 16 comments Thanks Amy! Glad you like the sound of it. If you read it you'll have to let me know what you think!! :) Yes, the synopsis is correct.

Was the ebook ever published with that cover?


message 50: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Ingram-Brown (dibrownauthor) | 16 comments Hi Rivka - no it was never published with that cover, it was just an earlier version in the design process and they look so similar I uploaded it by mistake!
