Kim (catmommie) | 82 comments While trying to combine Impulse by Catherine Coulter, I found there were a few Candace Camp's Impulse mixed in the bunch. I'm looking at the two authors' websites, to make sure they are not pseudonyms.

Not wanting to royally mess this up, here is the link:

thanks!

Ren Puspita (renpuspita) | 113 comments Edited :

I try to separate it, but seems like its impossible since there are " Sorry, you can't separate the most popular edition of a work "

Need another librarian's help (or maybe super librarian)

There was a lot more than a single edition that needed separating out. And they are definitely different books.

I think I got them untangled.

Nenangs | 464 comments @ Ren,

for future reference, try to separate the book via the separate tool. even the most pupolar edition can be separated. :)

Actually, I had used the separate tool, but in this case we separate both the most popular edition :(

Luckily, all already solved :)

Ren, it is not possible to get that error message using the separate tool.

Kim (catmommie) | 82 comments I think I got that same or a similar message, too. That's why I posted for help.

Rivka, "tangled" was a very good description for this!!

To clarify, the link above goes to the combine page (with a filter), not to the separate tool. That's here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/separat...

Since the tool involves separating one or more editions from the primary edition, it's not possible to get that error message on that page.


message 9: by Kim (new)

Kim (catmommie) | 82 comments how did you get to the separate page? by clicking the separate link next to the title? I never got to that page, I got the "sorry" message, unless I was clicking on a different edition.

See, that's why I stick to the easy stuff like typos, cover photos, things I can't break.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Book Page>Other Editions>separate. It's a link on the right-hand side of the page.

Lacrima_Atra | 101 comments Or, if you're on the combine page, you have at the bottom right of each work a "separate tool"-link.

There is? Cool beans! I wonder when that was introduced?


message 13: by Lacrima_Atra (new)

Lacrima_Atra | 101 comments Actually, I wasn't even aware of another way to access the separate tool ;-)

Before the other method, actually. ;)


message 15: by Nenangs (new)

Nenangs | 464 comments so it's truly clear now (about the separate tool). :)

thanks rivka.

Huh, I totally missed it. Now that I know where to find it, it'll make my life a lot easier!

Thanks, rivka!
