correcting book purchase link

[Lilah]

Hello - when I filled out the book page info with the ISBN numbers, I put the wrong one into the ISBN-13 field and the B&N link is currently going to a page that has no cover and no description.

I went back to the book page and updated it with the correct ISBN that should be bringing it to the right place, but the B&N link is still going to the wrong page. What can I do to fix this? And should I contact B&N directly to see about deleting the duplicate page?

Thank you!

Please link to the book in question, and let us know what the correct ISBN should be.

Here is the book:

The ISBN-13 should be 2940044792944

Thanks!

2940044792944 is the ISBN for the ebook, and I have added another edition with that ISBN. (You may wish to add the cover and other details. We cannot use B&N or other bookseller sites as sources of book information.) I also reverted the changes you made to the existing paperback edition.

Please do not edit an existing edition to become a new edition. Goodreads considers that vandalism of book records.

Okay. My apologies, and noted for future additions.

Is there a way to combine both editions into one page? There's a link to the right offering this option but it keeps giving me back error messages.

All editions are correctly combined

[Lilah]

OK - there are now three editions listed.

Could the one that's listed as an ebook with the ISBN of 978-0615647784 be deleted? It's listed as a Smashwords e-book but has the ISBN of a CreateSpace print book.

Also, is there a way to change the outbound B&N link on the print version? It should go to this page:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/godde...

Not this one:

Thanks!

No, it's correctly listed as the paperback. The Smashwords ISBn is 9781476351797, which is as it should be.
Again the user customizable links are just that: user customizable. We have less than no control over them.

[Lilah]

OK - so I ran a search on "user customizable links" and picked up some more info off the other discussions. If anyone is still following this thread...I have yet to add the Kindle version.

ISBN: 0615647782
ASIN: B007RDKFAI

Should I create a new book page, and then request to have the editions consolidated?

Thanks for everyone's time and help so far, I am really doing my best to sort out this whole ISBN tangle and not vandalize your records in the meantime.

[lafon حمزة]

No worries. We all make mistakes. I remember when I first joined the librarians group, and made a rookie mistake. *shudders*.
I'll the add the Kindle edition for you though. Same details for everything except the ID number, correct?
The ISBN-10 there corresponds to the ISBN-13 you provided earlier.
And here is your Kindle edition.

Looks good!
Thanks so much :)
