Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments This one at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... needs to be merged with kindle edition.

(I edited to remove links to the amazon edition, tried to put asin info that was in amazon link, was told no because edition existed, — goofed up and forgot to look at number of ratings when tried to merge myself, so sorry if librarian changelog strange)

This needs to be deleted, shares all the publication info as Eve and Adam minus the ISBN but says it's a sequel (which doesn't exist yet and, per the authors, doesn't have a name or an expected publication date as of yet).

People like to shelve not-yet-assigned-pub-date sequels as to-read, and that's fine. Edited and separated.

We don't do deletions to books with a giveaway in process. It can cause problems.

(Ditto 726.)

I knew that, I was testing you. It's too late at night for me *hangs up editing jacket for night*


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments @Rivka, they all looked mostly very new additions by a new to goodreads author so wasn't sure about saying anything to him about all the amazon bookseller links in his editions (I think I caught them all now, the links that is, not deleting editions) and on his author profile (his own website set to amazon). He must have contacted support to set up some of the giveaways already since some were for books without a print edition isbn so wasn't sure what if anything had been discussed.

This edition appears to be a duplication of one of the others, it has no isbn or other info attached.

I deleted the books I had already added from my shelves, and then deleted the books from Goodreads themselves.
However, I noticed there are a ton of similar comics that others have added. Should I list those here for deletion? Or have the rules on adding comics changed?"


Newton, single issues of comics should indeed be merged into their collected book editions (unless they are republished in some fashion in book form, as sometimes happens). If you find them, please post them here, yes.

Jackson Bliss (jacksonbliss) | 6 comments Hi people, I'm new to goodreads. I'm having a couple of problems + I'd really appreciate your help.

Issue #1, I accidentally entered this book as a new book. Basically, I pressed the enter key thinking the cursor would either go to the next tab or jump to the next line. Instead it created a duplicate book w/o any info (it's just the title) that's already on goodreads. Here it is: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

Can someone help me remove this please?

Issue #2, which is related to Issue #1: Issue #1 happened because I was trying to create a duplicate entry of an anthology because the editors didn't include any of the contributors, just themselves. And while I'm not hating, I'd like to add all of the fiction contributors on this anthology because I'm one of them. The thing is, there are contributors notes for each author of each story, but no table of contents. Thoughts/Suggestions on this?

Thanks for your help.

Peace, Blessings,

-Jackson Bliss

Newton Lewis (newtonlewis) | 7 comments #750 -Hey Jackson, I have deleted the duplicate entry.
Wrt issue #2, I'll leave that to one of the senior members to answer.


message 730: by Jackson (new)

Jackson Bliss (jacksonbliss) | 6 comments Newton, okay. Thanks for your help.

I'll wait to hear from the senior members for #2.

Peace,

Jackson, there's no need to create a duplicate. Just start a new thread with a link to the anthology and a request to be added as a contributor. (If you have a list of the names of the other contributors too, that would be great!) A lot of times we get anthologies imported from the publishers with only the editors listed, but we will absolutely add contributors if we can get a list of their names (up to 50 of them, anyway, which is the current hard limit).

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got 754 & 755.

I'll see what I can do for 751 later today when I have some more time! Many of these should be able to be merged into the trades now.

Jen (reader44ever) | 183 comments Demons at the Gates has never been published and from what I can find on the publisher's and author's websites, it never will be published. Can this book be deleted? (The only information I was able to find about this title came from this listing for it, in fact.)

Okay, thanks, Rivka! Would it help if I try contacting the author? I might get a response that would clarify if this book will ever be published. Let me know to whom I should forward the response, if I get one. Thanks again!

Will do...thanks, Rivka!

New Request for Deletion:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86...
This edition of No Humans Involved only has a single 9-digit ISBN #. Since it is missing a number, can this edition be deleted? I'm pretty sure whoever added it intended this edition to reflect ISBN 0553588370, which already exists (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...). Thanks!

Okay, I'll do that someday today with the names of the other contributors. Thanks for responding!
