Incorrect, especially when, as in that case, it has been published via Smashwords.

I got the other one.

Traveling Diva (travelingdiva) | 372 comments This one needs deleted:

And I don't think this is unique enough either:

message 6: by Traveling Diva (new)

Traveling Diva (travelingdiva) | 372 comments These two appear to be the same edition and should be merged:

message 7: by Traveling Diva (new)

Traveling Diva (travelingdiva) | 372 comments This has a valid ISBN 10 in the ISBN 13 field
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

It should be merged with this one

Pamela, I have seen you very politely post this several times. I applaud your patience with us. However, I want to let you know that you are not being purposefully ignored, at least not by me.

These appear to excerpts or extras from the authors website. In the past these were allowed, but there has recently been discussion of changes to this policy.

I personally don't feel comfortable deleting them until Rivka has looked it and let us know how these should be addressed under the new policy.


message 12: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments As with vicki, I too would like to say thanks for being so polite. I also am not comfortable with deleting those, as policy appears to have been changed, but I'm not sure to what extent. So, I apologize for appearing to ignore you without at least having the courtesy to explain.

Catarina "p7" (p7m3nt7nh4) | 7 comments Could someone please delete this book:

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

I'm sorry, I accidentally created it when creating this one:

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

And then didn't notice it until the second one was created. Please maintain the second book, it's the most complete one.

Thank you!


message 15: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments I don't know if I was the one who got it. Nonetheless it's been deleted.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 17, why? That looks like an alternate cover edition.


message 18: by SWhitney (new)

SWhitney | 10 comments lafon حمزة wrote: "17, why? That looks like an alternate cover edition."

They both had the same ASIN except one was being held in the ISBN field. I own that same edition and the cover is the same as the one in the second link above.


message 19: by SWhitney (new)

SWhitney | 10 comments I can undo everything I did as I was originally just trying to resolve the ASIN issue.


message 20: by lafon حمزة (last edited Oct 30, 2012 04:00PM) (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Oh no please don't. We do not put ASINs in ISBN slots. However often times books get re-released with new covers and keep their old ID numbers (whether that be ISBNs or ASINs). In fact it's common practice here on goodreads to have them. Anyway it's all been tidied up.


message 21: by SWhitney (new)

SWhitney | 10 comments Okay thanks! I see what you did with the librarian note and I will make sure to do that in the future.

The policy isn't really new, but it has been clarified. Extras that are published as separate books (e.g., via Kindle, Nook, etc., or by designation of the author as ebooks) should be left. These don't seem to meet that threshold, so each should be merged into whichever book it goes with (or the first if it goes "with" more than one).


message 24: by Marie (new)

Marie (mariethea) | 20 comments I'm not really sure about how editions are qualified, and I'm not sure about this book, but they seem to be substantially similar (and the review on the first link claims no difference at all). Didn't know what to do.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Re 25

They all have different ISBN's which makes them individual editions and they should stay.

message 27: by Traveling Diva (new)

Traveling Diva (travelingdiva) | 372 comments Please merge these two Arabic editions into one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

One has slightly more info (page count) than the other, otherwise they are the same


message 28: by Traveling Diva (new)

Traveling Diva (travelingdiva) | 372 comments Please delete this edition as there is nothing unique about it:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/83...


message 29: by Traveling Diva (new)

Traveling Diva (travelingdiva) | 372 comments I think this edition
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/72...

should be merged with this one
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...

The first has a completely nonsensical ISBN and in the change log I see a lot of information was changed significantly, and this is the best fit I could find.

Does this mean the books I listed should be deleted?

Yes. I will work on them later today, if no one else gets to it first.

@43 --> 1 and 3 done, the second seems like an alternate cover edition but I did not find details about that edition.

That's a Barnes &Noble Nook edition. Those have an ISBN-13 that starts with 294. I erased the ISBN-10, as it is "junk" that isn't even recognized by B&N.

Thanks, I didn't know :)
@43 I've also done the 4th request. For the 2nd I'm not sure about deleting or combining with an "alternate cover" note.

Thanks! I'll ask the details (isbn etc.) about the 2nd.

Sorry if I asked and didn't it myself, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks again!

Perhaps merge it with the book first, assuming that is where the reviews belong
