Sandra | 31429 comments Joanne, they aren't merged, one is a kindle the other an ebook - they get combined. #570 Done.

Rita Verdial | 17 comments Hello!

I need a Superlibrarian to delete a duplicate version of one book.

This is the duplicate, can you delete it?

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments There are a bunch of bogus editions (re-seller copies) of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". They all seem to have the same cover, and need to be merged into this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

However: I can't separate it, there's SO many editions of this book (and the one they need to merge into has like 3k reviews on it alone) so it's just timing out. All the ones to delete are now in a work of their own (with "SEPARATE ME" tagged on the title, so I could find them in the separate tool).

One has no cover image, but had "Oprah's Book Club" in the title, and otherwise matches this one too. A couple say 2006, but this specific paperback edition with the book club badge is from 2007, I figure they've just posted the original copyright date, not the edition specific one.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments Working on #585...

They're all gone! It looks like, for the most part, the Amazon import just kept adding editions as most had the same cover.

Sometimes the separate and combine tools can be a bit funny, especially when separating multiple editions. Although you did forget to separate out the edition they needed merging into...! But luckily the single one on it's own separated easily.

Tabatha Stirling | 39 comments Hello, I need some books deleted from my author page. And a duplicate removed, please. The only books that are mine are Botanical Malice, Three Months of Chaos and Don't Like Mondays. Everything else is another Alex Mitchell's. This is actually the 3rd time this has happened. Is there anything I can do to stop it happening again? Thank you very much. Alex.


message 568: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #588 Moved the book from your profile and merged the duplicate edition of Botanical Malice.
Next time, please start a new thread, as this one is for deleting books, not for moving.
Since you have the default Alex Mitchell author profile, all books that are imported end up on your profile. You can ask Goodreads Support to change your profile (adding spaces).

Tabatha Stirling | 39 comments Thank you. I couldn't see how to start a new thread. Have a newborn so probably baby brain. Sorry for that :)


message 571: by Moloch (new)

Moloch | 3975 comments This one has no details, I picked the most popular edition in Italian to merge into

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

thanks

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments Please merge this (added 20 times) with this (added 117 times).


Elizabeth (Alaska) An odd one, this. The description, which needs to be deleted anyway, includes ISBNs from 2 different editions of this work.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It doesn't seem unreasonable that it be merged with the default, which is one of them.

message 576: by Susie (last edited Jun 26, 2015 01:58PM) (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #595: As it's a paperback and the other ISBN links to a hardcover, I agree with merging into default, it also being a paperback. Done!


message 578: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #598 done, but in future please link to the book page rather than the edit page.


message 580: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #600: Have combined all the loose editions and merged the book with the cover into the paperback edition that you linked to. Please do note that this thread is specifically for deleting/merging books, especially duplicate editions, as the ebook that was also linked is a valid edition.

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments #587 thanks susie. As I said, I did try to separate it but it just kept timing out (I was out in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere with pretty dodgy internet capabilities :) Sorry, I should have at least marked it for you so you could find it faster :)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments 614 - please sort out prior to merge

615 - for librarians to merge, the book must have less than 5 reviews/shelving's and be combined with another edition

Truncated ISBN13 in the ISBN field, also erroneously marked as Kindle version (there is already a kindle version).

Combine back into
