Looks like a responsible merge to me... Thanks (:
The ISBNs were added by the onix ingram script. It is a shame we can't find out where onix ingram got them from.Go for it.
What about these two, or are you already on them?

Oh, so it's just another edition that is a copy?... Oops. Why would you merge not delete?

A merge IS a delete. It saves the reviews and suchike.

No, I hadn't seen those Banjomike. Thanks for the links.Amy, in this case, I am guessing that these were editions that were planned by the publisher, but then later "cancelled", i.e. never released.

You see "access card" on a lot of textbooks; I think it means that there's a physical object which is sold in stores that then allows you to download that ebook. There isn't a separate listing for the ebook; the book listing with the "access card" note is the actual book listing, as far as I've seen.
Found this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... on an update feed. Do I merge or combine with http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...? There's no ISBN or any info for edition and only has one review.

Should be merged with this one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
and then the ISBN of the first book (the "Cancelled" one) marked as NAB.
There are zero listings of the "cancelled" ISBN on the web.
Any objections before proceeding?
