Schwubsi 4 Life (nimby) | 46 comments Hi,
could a superior super-librarian lend me their strength? I need these three books merged. And please keep one cover with the right resolution e.g. this one. Because one cover actually has got a wrong resolution.

EDIT:
Do I have to combine myself or do you do that as well??


message 53: by [deleted user] (new)

I fixed author spelling issues but

please combine with default:

this one too.

Elizabeth (Alaska) no details; there does not appear to be an edition with a pub date of 2008, and I think that is a typo. Please merge with default.

thank you!

Empress (the_empress) Empty editions:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This edition carries the ISBN13 without 978 ins the ISBN field. Merge into the default edition. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


message 59: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) Are such editions allowed? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


message 60: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) Please move ASIN to the default edition and merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

lethe | 16359 comments #57, 62, 64 The wrong image was kept though. This is the image of the default, which has the wrong aspect ratio. And it still needs to be recombined.

#66 I'm wondering who the "me" is in the description :)


message 62: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #65 done, apart from this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

That's actually a slightly different cover from the default. Therefore, it's either an ACE, or a duplicate of the Audio CD. As it has pages, though, I'd say it's an ACE, although it's going to be fun trying to work out for which one!


message 63: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #66: I'm not sure on that one. We allow ARCs, but I've never seen a record for a proof before...!


message 64: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #67 done. :)


message 65: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12221 comments 68 Combined and added better cover from Amazon There is no special way to keep a cover when merging, just the regular way of updating of a cover.

Re #65. I wasn't sure as well. It does look like the cover for a CD but it isn't. I think the scripts upload whatever Amazon shows them and that is not always correct. I say we leave it as it is, but so far I've seen only two CD covers: http://www.worldcat.org/title/-sons-a...


message 67: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments #72 Thanks. In cases like these I always save a copy of the (correct) image and add/replace it after merging.

Yeah, I just looked into it a bit more. The RH paperback appears to have a different cover, and so do the Fourth Estate editions. It therefore must be the hardcover, even if the pagination is out, but without definitive proof it is hard to tell for certain.

#65,

image_uploaded_at: '' to 'Mon Oct 14 21:06:28 -0700 2013' (undo) - by USER 2

Number of pages were added with the creation of the edition from USER 1

However I looked at all these and none had 417 pages. Maybe that is without some content at the end of the page, however this edition seems a mix of different editions, as users have added the data that suits them. But I understand if it can't be deleted, I wasn't sure in the first place if it should go.


Elizabeth (Alaska) truncated ISBN

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

to merge with

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

the description of both should be deleted so that it will pick up the default of the main work, with which to recombine:

Alexandra Bracken | 4 comments Hi all,

This is a project that doesn't exist: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I just deleted myself off the listing but confirmed with the other authors that this is a fake listing and not anyone's project.

Thanks!

message 90: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #94-5 done! With regards to #95, didn't notice that I'd have to keep the better cover, but luckily found it back on Amazon.com.

message 92: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #98: I checked the ISBNs - you are, in fact, correct. The first one has both an invalid ISBN-10 & -13. The ISBN-10, when put through a converter, says that the check digit should be 8, which matches up to the second edition you listed. I have therefore merged them. :)


message 93: by Scarlet (new)

Scarlet Darkwood (scarletdarkwood) | 11 comments Hello, I need help deleting the book with this EXACT title: Naughty & Nice (Break For A Quickie Book 3). Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

AISN: B00R6WH896

This is a duplicate entry. (the other Naughty & Nice title is correct and has the correct blurb! That one needs to stay! Thank you.


message 94: by Empress (last edited May 24, 2015 04:08PM) (new)

Empress (the_empress) #100 combined.

Series created, alternate cover editions added.
Kindle editions added.

See how to set default editions: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Melaslithos | 1360 comments Hi, this edition is the correct one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Please merge the other two in this one than combine it with the others.

Thank you.

PS: Albin Michel owns 20% of "Le Livre de Poche", other 80% is owned by Hachette, so I think it's better to keep "Le Livre de Poche" as publisher.

Flora | 17 comments Please delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The isbn is an incomplete version of the paperback entry already in existence: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 98: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) #104 - no need for super - done.

Flora, editions need to be combined with the edition to be merged or reviews and ratings will get lost and suddenly books will disappear from readers shelves :)

message 100: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #100: They are both unique editions, one being available via Smashwords, the other via Amazon, therefore they both stay (Kindle is considered different from other ebook versions because you can only purchase books with an ASIN via Amazon).

However, I have updated the description from the Kindle edition, so it is now using the default from the ebook edition.
