Mattias (mkling) | 37 comments Entering som random characters (dont ask me why) in the search box yield some surprising results. For example "sdf" and other that is close on the keyboard return the following titles:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Along with some others that actually had an isbn and could be fixed.

I would have these deleted, but remember reading about leaving actual deletions to super librarians..

If the books have been changed incorrectly, revert the changes otherwise

Combine the edition with the book you think it is then delete the incorrect one.

if the book does not have a "Correct" version to be combined with then post in the Please delete this book thread

Mattias (mkling) | 37 comments Yes, I noticed. Paula has a good point, it could have been a good idea to check who added the books and try to follow up.

However, in this case, the books were simply a trash title and sometimes description. No isbn, publisher, dates, or anything.
