Please delete this book! (pt. 16) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
This has a title and nothing else. A lot of people added it because it was incorrectly attributed to a popular author: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
I hope this is the right place. If not could someone please message and tell me where I should've posted this...and maybe delete this edition?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
This edition was added by someone who didn't spell the authors name properly. I thought I would just correct it, merge - to keep the reviews, and then delete it. Unfortunately it has to many reviews for us lowly librarians and I would like an assist from a super.
Am I wrong? Should I leave this edition of the book, without any identifying information alone? If I am I won't bite your head off if you explained that to me too.
Thank you for your time. I'm always around. Enjoy your day.

I would like to know why this audiobook was deleted? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
(It had 15 ratings and there is a corresponding book on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63....)
Who deleted this one and why? I thought only super librarians can delete books with more than five reviews?

If I knew that I wouldn't be asking.
Ska wrote: "If I knew that I wouldn't be asking."I think Rivka is asking what leads you to believe the book was deleted (did you have it on your shelves before? did you know someone who had it on their shelves?) rather than why you think person who deleted it did so.
I'm also curious as to how you got the link to the deleted book if it had been deleted.
This particular audiobook wasn't on my shelf but I'm a fan of the "author" so I remember all nine audiobooks that used to be on his profile page only two days ago. I retrieved the link from Google Cache.

Puzzling! Maybe it was the "This 2 CD set includes samples of many of his finest live comedy performances" in the description? Someone thought it was a performance recording and not an audiobook? (Was it a performance recording and not an audiobook? I can't tell from the cache.)
Mod
Cait, possibly so. I don't recall ever seeing it before, so it probably was not I. ;)
It's supposed to be an autobiography (hence the title: The Bill Hicks Story).
Here's an excerpt of a lengthy description from the publisher's website: This recording is a lasting record of his life, based on hundreds of interviews across America, as told by the people who knew him best. The principal characters in his life had never all spoken at one time before. They include his mother, Mary Hicks; his brother, Steve; his sister, Lynn; and his closest friends: Dwight Slade, Kevin Booth, David Johndrow, and many of the 'Houston' gang of friends and comics. Music for Bill and his close friends was an obsession, and some of that recorded work can be heard as a soundtrack on this audiobook. Some of his best comedy performances can be heard here also: including recordings from way back in tiny clubs in Houston in 1979, to the big international festival Just For Laughs, and his Revelations tour in London. This recording preserves Bill's story, bringing together his journey, his friendships, and some of his finest comedy moments - all recounted by the people who knew him best.
It is an audio edition of this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...
I don't think "someone" even read the description but deleted all nine audiobooks without checking first.
All I want to know now is, will this audiobook be restored or not?

Please deletehttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
(I can't do it, I don't know why since it has less than 5 users)
This is a duplicate, the user who shelved it has already deleted it and added the correct one
Thanks
Mod
Moloch, it will not allow you to delete a book with even a single user having shelved it, unless it is a merge, rather than a straight deletion. I'm having trouble finding its duplicate. All the editions of I fratelli Karamazov I see have different covers from that one.
There's nothing to distinguish this book from the other ebook edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
This is the right one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...This is the one to delete: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
Mod
Edit: merged and recombined.
@rivka: I don't want to add this book again! I want to know if the old one (including all 15 ratings and about 20 want-to-read shelves) will be restored or if they are lost? (I'm not doing this thing all over again only for a super-librarian to come along to delete the thing again.) If it won't/can't be restored, fine. Not my problem.
Mod
Looks like someone got 638.
This book says it needs a Super-librarian to be deleted:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
The fourth book was the last book in the series, as he mentions on his blog here:
http://www.jamesdashner.com/the-13th-...
I believe this "fifth book" exists because he originally stated that it would be a five book series.
I got a message from an author and she was wondering if one of the books someone added could be deleted because she never ment for it to be added on here it was something she was sharing with a blog and she said it is only 8 pages and she is planning something else with it then she found it added here.. If you need to get in contact with her she said she is willing to explain the issue. here is the link to the book she wishes to have deleted.

Re 608: I combined it with the other editions. I noticed that you put the ISBN13 in the ISBN10 spot, which cut off the end of the number. Can you post the full ISBN here and I'll fix it?
