The author has released each of the three as an ebook (PDFs hosted on a site he has a subpage on).

Also, non-superlibrarians cannot delete books that have only a single edition if they have been shelved by even a single user. That is because such a deletion would delete said shelvings (and reviews/ratings) completely.

Tone (tone_milazzo) | 3 comments Thanks rivka,

The author is going to ask the person how's shelved these books to un-shelve them and then I'll delete them.

Fingers crossed.

DO NOT DELETE THEM. They have been published (by GR standards), and we DO NOT DELETE published works, even if they have gone out of print.

Librarians who abuse their ability to delete books will have their privileges revoked.

I've already combined it with the other entry that has the full info, including the ISBN-13.

If these are duplicates then you need to provide the links to the duplicates as well since they all have what appear to unique covers

Irena Milanova (irzhi) | 104 comments This one - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... is an exact copy of this - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

This one - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... is a copy of this - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

Thanks
When deleting books we delete in to the duplicate edition, if you don't link to it
a) we might merge the wrongs one
b) it takes twice as long

Edit: Done


message 174: by Irena (new)

Irena Milanova (irzhi) | 104 comments I'll keep that in mind from now on. Thanks again! :)

Ema (emastimpy) | 99 comments This edition should be deleted:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

This book was under the name hakan nesser, I've merged the author profile to the main one and I looked for that particular edition already entered. I think I've found the correct one, so I've already separated and combined them. You may want to have a second look.
Thank you!

zap!

Ema (emastimpy) | 99 comments Also, a duplicate book from hakan nesser is this one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

It's added only one time and the year 2010 points to the most-shelved edition:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81...

I have a question: if you combine this first book to the other editions and then delete it, to which edition will its rating distribute? To the main edition?

Irena Milanova (irzhi) | 104 comments Hi there! Another 3 duplicates found!
1. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... is an exact copy of this --> http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

2. This one - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92... duplicates this --> http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29...

3. And this - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... is exactly the same as this --> http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... but has no ISBN.
Please, delete them. Thanks! :)

Mary (knoxdiver) | 21 comments Not sure if this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... needs to be deleted or combined with this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

message 197: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got 200; I'm pretty sure that the ISBN on the mostly-empty edition was never used but I can't actually verify it, so I just combined them.


message 198: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got 201, although in the second case the matching cover was for the Japanese edition, not the French edition.


message 199: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Marks | 2 comments Please delete the following books. I'm the author and Velveteen is not a series. There is a TBD book in my contract with Delacorte, but it's not a Velveteen sequel.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Also, is it possible to remove the series designation for Velveteen?

Leigh Moore (leightmoore) | 21 comments Please delete this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

Publisher, ISBN, Pub date information all incorrect.
