Vladimir (mrvladimir) | 9 comments Okay, I found a problem about duplicate books.

THESE ONES:
1. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/87... (I changed only the author name, with original and Serbian transliterated version)
2. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... ((I changed only the author name, with original and Serbian transliterated version)

are the SAME copy of this book:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I combined the last book with original The Shack (because it has the most information on it, the ISBN and stuff), as a 'foreign' edition, but I don't know what to do with those two double books...

I can't delete them (I need to be super librarian) and I wouldn't like to remove all the reviews and ratings, and I think it would be reckless to combine them also with the rest of editions, cause practically they are the same book, the publisher (Laguna) didn't reprint the book since 2009, so it's the only edition in Serbian... http://www.laguna.rs/n1042_knjiga_kol...

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks,
Vlad

Renske | 12223 comments The two duplicates should be merged into the right edition.
You should separate the right edition from the other editions and combine it with the duplicates. If then the duplicates are deleted, the reviews go to the edition that stays. In this case one of those two is shelved so many times it still needs a superlibrarian, but the other you should be able to deleted it yourself.

This is also in the librarian manual.

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments if you combine with the correct ones (only) when it is deleted/merged the reviews will transfer to the correct edition

(the one that has so many reviews should be posted over here
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... )

in order for a super to delete, AFTER it is combined with the duplicate
