Wow, didn't know that, but makes good sense! Thanks so very much. I'm revising my books right now via Booktrope, a publisher, so I'll be needing assistance getting everything up-to-date here in the next few months. I really appreciate your help!

It was a reward for reaching a certain donation amount for a fundraiser. copied from a website "Neil Gaiman reads Dr Seuss's children's classic "Green Eggs and Ham" in this video, produced to celebrate $500,000 in donations to Patrick Rothfuss's Wordbuilders fundraiser, which is raising money for Project Heifer, a charity that helps farmers around the world with livestock and training."

This is not a book; the ASIN only leads to the series page on Amazon's website (you need to buy the series books individually). Also, it is listed under the wrong Danielle Paige.

Thank you!

Empress (the_empress) I think this should be merged with this but I also need a second opinion.

The books was marked as books 1 to 3 from the series. My first edit was to remove (Vernor Vinge Omnibus) from the title. My second one was to revert a title change. However looking at the initial title and cover, and doing a search I think these are the same edition. Please either merge (I have not separated the editions, but will if needed) or advise me if I should revert my title change.

Thank you


message 121: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) This should be merged as it is (into the default most popular edition)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It seems it was created as an ACE, however looking at the default edition, the latest cover change seem to have bee to upload a better version of the cover. Previously amazon has changed the cover but I did not revert the changes as it seems to have happened some time ago.

As they are currently both editions are duplicates.


message 123: by J_BlueFlower (new)

J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 486 comments I have added the book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Now I have actually read it, and it turned out to be an incomplete fanfic, so it should not be in the database.

When I click ”delete this book. ” I am told that only books with less than 5 reviews can be deleted. This one has none. Clicking delete I get the error message:
”Only super-librarians can delete books with so many reviews ”


message 124: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments J, this is because normally 'deleting' means 'merging into an existing edition'. Since this book has no other editions, it is not possible to merge, it needs to be actually deleted. As this is quite a big step it can only be done by supers, it's a kind of safety measure. I agree the message is confusing.

(I'm not a super, so it still needs to be deleted. But I did check AO3 and it is indeed a WIP.)


message 127: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... Kindle with ISBN, according to Amazon same ASIN as https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please merge and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks!


message 128: by Empress (new)

Empress (the_empress) Please delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It is not a real book, but created for the purposes of this manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oNDL...
at 1.29 she confirms it is not a real book.

Please delete the following two listings for THE OLIVE PICKER, as soon as possible:

Please ALSO delete this listing for THE OLIVE PICKER:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you.

Kathi, both those editions (you posted one link twice) of The Olive Picker have valid ISBN/ASIN. I see no reason we would delete them.

They were originally separated, and a librarian has combined them.


message 135: by Kathi (new)

Kathi Brettell | 10 comments But I no longer want them available on Goodreads. Am I not allowed to remove them? I understand people can read the entire manuscript for free here. Why, then, would they bother to buy it?


message 136: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Goodreads does not remove published books from the database.

As far as the preview feature, that pulls the Look Inside preview over from Amazon. I don't know how long your book is, but there appear to be 5 chapters in the preview, both here and on Amazon. If it should be less than that, you need to contact Amazon.

You are also welcome to contact Goodreads Support (use the Contact Us link on the Help page) about any issues with the preview.


message 137: by Kathi (new)

Kathi Brettell | 10 comments No problem, I failed to notice it was just a preview. Thank you for clarifying for me.

Books from 126 onwards still need to be handled. The supers will get to it when they get to it.


message 144: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #126 moved to the correct author. I think it should be NAB-ed.

#127 based on the number of pages (I know, not always reliable for ebooks) and this link http://mobilismbooks.org/viewtopic.ph... which has a cover for a 3-books omnibus edition, I think the 3-books edition was meant. I don't think it is an official edition though.

#128 It seems it was created as an ACE, ... but I did not revert the changes as it seems to have happened some time ago.
The ACE was also created in 2008

#129 done
#130 done
#132 done
#133 done
#134 done

I'd like a second opinion from another super for #126, 127 and 128

Checking them out.

#137 no deleting; the book has a valid isbn. However Worldcat has another title and author for this isbn, possibly re-used isbn.
#139 done
#140 no merge, was marked as ACE in librarian note, confirmed the covers are different. Added ACE note to description.


message 148: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #126 - NAB-ed
#127 - Not sure what to think of that one either.
#128 - Reverted the cover change so it was back to it's original (and valid cover), then made sure both ACE editions were marked as ACEs. Removed the merge from the title field, since it is a valid ACE.
