Ridley | 72 comments Hi - can I get someone to merge this book with no ASIN or ISBN with this book that has the ASIN?

This is the only version available right now. The author didn't have the ebook ISBN yet and she said it won't be released in print.

Thanks!

Lea | 15 comments Hi! I'm new to being a librarian and I didn't want to mess this up... I don't think the Manual was very clear on how to do this so please help:

can anyone merge these two editions?
correct edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
duplicate: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

I'm 100% sure the other is a duplicate, and besides it's full of cataloging mistakes.

Thank you so much!

Got #3.

And it's always ok to ask in this group for help, whether new or not. :)

Lea | 15 comments Thank you rivka! I was confused with the instruction to click "delete this book" after you combine the 2 identical editions. Wouldn't that delete both editions?

No. You delete the incorrect edition, and the reviews/ratings/shelvings from that edition are moved over to the other edition. But it only works properly if you have those two editions combined with just each other, separate from any other editions.
