Please delete this book! (pt. 32) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
Can some kind soul please help?Someone has created this duplicate edition and taken the ASIN away from the proper edition. The newly created 'edition' is a mixed-up version with the wrong cover to go with the publication date and the page count of the paperback and listed as kindle.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
James
Edited to add - thanks, Susie. I think it's all sorted now.
#4: When you create an edition, it is always best to add the ASIN/ISBN straight away, as otherwise the import will readd the book (the "duplicate" was added by the Amazon import).According to both Amazon UK & US, August 11 is the correct publication date? They also have 326 pages listed. They usually take the pagecount from the paperback edition and we always use the pagecount from Amazon for Kindle editions, as ereaders are all different and unreliable in this respect.
Anyway, I am attempting to remove the duplicate now, plus have also listed the other Kindle edition with the alternate cover as an ACE.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (truncated ISBN13 in ISBN10 field)And recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The author added the book 2 times and asked that this one be removed as something happened I took a look but it doesn't even seem like a book. The correct one is already up and working. If you could please delete this.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Please delete these editions:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (no details)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (No ASIN)
Duplicate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...The alleged ASIN is actually part of the ISBN of the correct edition.
Misidentified ASIN, this Kindlehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
needs to be merged with:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and recombined with:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(separate merge confirmed by Rivka: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)
#14 - I saw the other thread, but are we sure that should not just be an ACE, since the cover is different?Or that it should be merged with the following and then marked as an ACE: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I added my e-book as an e-book and as a Kindle book. The e-book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
needs to be deleted because it has a wrong ASIN. Need to then merge the paperback

with the Kindle book

#16 - 1) Merged the bad ebook edition with the Kindle edition, since they were the same just an ASIN missing a character.
2) I did not merge the paperback, what is your reason for doing that? They are combines already, so they only show as 1 listing.
1. Thanks for merging the 2 e-books. That's what I needed.
2. Oh, I thought that was how it was supposed to be done. I understand now.
THANKS!

Phillip, you are correct about the ACE - I did not notice the cover differences - I think I was thrown off by the ISBN on a Kindle. I'll go fix it to an ACE.
ETA: ACE created - thanks again, Phillip!

I missed them as well. Good catch, Philip!
Hello LibrariansSpotted an issue relating to Graham Greene.
Greene published this novel:
'Monsignor Quixote'
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Monsignor Quixote
Goodreads has all these links and listings, but then there is also this unusual, parallel listing:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Monsignor Quixote
by Alec Guinness.
Same plot, same characters, same book.
Now, Sir Alec Guinness was an author as well as an actor; but his relationship to this novel (of Graham Greene's) is only that he acted in a TV movie adapted from it.
Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsigno...
Thought you'd want to know. Thanks for hearing my case!
#24: Checked with WorldCat and the Alec Guinness version is actually a VHS recording, so have marked as "not a book".

Could you please delete the following duplicate editions of these books? Or merge them if that is what is required to keep the reviews. Thank you in advance. The correct titles are the ones that I have set to the primary editions for this work:
Falling into Temptation
Falling into Exposure
Falling into Surrender
Falling Series Boxed Set
First two books (duplicates):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Second two books (duplicates):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Third Two Books (duplicates):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Fourth Book (duplicate):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
35 Most of those are not duplicates, but valid editions. We don't remove no longer available editions.

Could you please delete these two entries:https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
and

Both are reviewless duplicates to:

Thank you!
#46 doneThe fact that there are no reviews doesn't matter.
One had the isbn in the ASIN field, the other had the isbn13 in the isbn10 field (missing last 3 digits). Merged both into the matching hardcover edition.
