Combine Books

[Martin]

I had a self-published piece out, which was picked up by a publisher and repackaged with additional material. However, both are out there:

I need to combine this old one: Voltaire's Adventures Before Candide,

With the Bizarro Press edition: Voltaire's Adventures Before Candide: And Other Improbable Tales

Is this possible? Thanks!

[Paula]

They are combined

GR policy is to list the name the book was first published under in the primary author position adding the new name in the secondary position. This allies for combing.

The system is not letting me add Martin D. Gibbs in the secondary position at the moment but it should since the names are different.

Edited to add:

But now this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16..., does not show up in a search. This one is what needs to be displayed on searches and in my author profile, sorry.


So... is there a way to merge the author profiles? http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/..., has most of my stuff, except that the Bizarro Press version of Voltaire needs to also fall under it. Is it a matter of renaming "Martin Gibbs" to "Martin D. Gibbs?"

Sorry for the confusion

Yes. I did so.

Please combine the paperback and hardcover editions of The Complete Chronicles of the Emperors of Rome. by Roger Kean. The Librarian Manual says paperbacks and hard covers should be combined. It will be appreciated. Thank you~!

These are the two books that need to be combined:

Thanks. I'm sorry to be a pest, but it is still showing the "old" version in my Author Dashboard. And the newer one (Bizarro Press version) does not show up in a search. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

Please combine! I really wish people would search thoroughly before adding books to the system... :(

I think these two books should be combined:

No idea why searching would help. This is a valid new edition with its own ISBN.
