I went ahead merged it into the English edition. I agree with you and Pamela. It was probably a placeholder for the scanlation, added before the book was licensed in English. People often add things like this for manga, with the Japanese cover, as it is the only one available at the time.

I have separated these books to a different profile, Alan^^Taylor, where ^ indicates a space.

Please note, this means when someone adds you to a book, they must include two spaces between your first and last name. This keeps you separate from the other Alan Taylor(s).

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 821 done. vicki, for manga do you always merge the scanlated placeholder into the English edition?

Kribu | 8 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

This one seems to be a completely random addition - no ISBN, no indication of which edition of the book it's supposed to be for. It has four ratings so I'd rather not delete it myself in case this messes something up.

message 816: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 827 was a title misspelling, plus the author was in the title field. Merged.

798: The Third one is just a fan translation entry. Whether it's merged to the English ones I mentioned in my post or to the Japanese edition, it's fine. The other two are definitely the same edition, though.

Both are Kindle editions. Thanks!

Anelis Please delete this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

It's a greek edition that already exists.

Minh Nguyen (arcius) | 11 comments Please delete the following books:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

They are duplicates of http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78..., all are ebook version.


message 825: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 835, 836 done. 837 each have unique ISBNs so it only needed a combine done.


message 827: by Minh (last edited Dec 16, 2012 05:13AM) (new)

Minh Nguyen (arcius) | 11 comments Hmm, but both of their ISBN are wrong, I couldn't look them up. Their ISBN are also similar, they were added on the same date, have the same description so I suspect they are by themselves duplicates of each other.
Another thing is their description contains reviews and major spoiler. What should I do with this?

I was talking about:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...


message 828: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 839 done. Minh, are you talking about your post or maria's? The books you linked to both had valid ISBNs. I have removed the spoilery descriptions.

lol, somehow the links ended up to be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy page. And I was talking about my post.

I meant this

and this

message 830: by Sadie (new)

Sadie Forsythe | 26 comments Could you please delete the duplicate kindle versions here. They have the same ASIN. It is admittedly my own mistake. I somehow didn't find the existing version and created a new one. (I did look first.) But when the word delete is involved I would prefer not to risk messing anything up.

Thank you

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Tang!
Minh, my post doesn't change. Just because they can't be found online does not mean they weren't published at one point. I removed the spoiler laden descriptions, so it should be fine now.

The portuguese(br)ver. is already out there (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... AND http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... PLUS another one I'll add)

and this isbn refers to the english ver. - thanks

Re 852, the bad ISBN is 978039915769, which is very close to 9780399157769. Looks like they missed a digit, so I merged with that one.
