I separated the ones that had been erroneously combined with The German. Please check to see that all of them are combined correctly, and are all the books on your page yours?
Ha! This got lots of attention!
Thank you very much! It's greatly appreciated.
Hello, I'm an author also having difficulty separating books I accidentally combined. Seems like the combine tool works but not the separate tool. Not had any response from Goodreads customer help for 3 days so I'm hoping one of you kind souls will assist. My two titles: Lover's Intuition and Sailor's Warning--are incorrectly combined under one title. Each book has 3 editions, which is correct. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thank you so much for any assistance you can give.

Authors can combine, but they can't separate books.
It might take a few days for the reviews and ratings to show properly on the books, but they will resolve on their own.

Hello everyone, I just did the same thing! Can someone help with separating, please?This is the link to the list of books I accidentally combined: https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...
Or if this is better, this is the lead title that all of the others are combined under. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Thank you for any help!
Arenda, you should wear a cape, if you don't already!
Hello dear librarians,I have mistakenly added three volumes of a 1960's book as editions of a 2005 full tome. Can you please help with separating them as standalone books?

Thank you, Abcdarian! Now I have added proper descriptions to the volumes.Also, I apologize for my gaucheness. Will try to make better entries from now on.
Cheers!
Hi - I have two author accounts due to deciding to use a pen name for my children's books. I moved my children's book to new account, but now it's on both accounts. And, it has my real and pen names as author on the new account.
Hello,The entry for this book has one of the author names misspelled, wrong number of pages, no ISBN, no picture etc.:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It should be deleted in favour of this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
...which should then be combined as the Romanian edition of the French original:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
...which lacks Pierre Milza as its second author (visible on the cover)
This entry lacks the name of the second author, description and ISBN:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
...it should be merged with this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
...as the Romanian edition of the original French work:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...-
#22 & #23 done.

Please add Pierre Milza as the second author of:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
This entry has an incomplete title and wrong "original title":https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It should be deleted and its ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 transfered to this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
You can find it here for reference:
http://www.amazon.fr/HISTOIRE-LEUROPE...
and here:
http://www.decitre.fr/livres/histoire...
Subsequently, this should be added as its Romanian translation:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And these editions should be deleted altogether:
- duplicate, with a truncated publisher name
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- partial title, misleading original title entry, ISBNs which refer to the second volume of the series:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- partial title and ISBNs which belong to the first volume of the series:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
- incomplete title, no description, ISBN or cover picture:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The second volume of the series should be given its proper ISBNs 221804272X and 9782218042720:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
...and this added as its Romanian translation:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The first volume of the series should be assigned its ISBNs 2218032805 and 978-2218032806:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
...and this added as its Romanian translation:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I mistakenly combined two books under one title and cannot separate them. Can anyone help?

These general threads are really only for simple requests, in this case for separating. For complicated, multi-issues requests like these it's better to start a new thread.
(#29 still to be done.)

Copy that. Many thanks!
lethe wrote: "#29 still to be done"Thank for keeping an eye on it, lethe.
I know it's daunting, it took me a while to ascertain what goes where, as the authors have published other works with very similar titles.

I will try and have a look tomorrow.
I've made a terrible mistake in combining many of my books under one title. I'm just starting to utilize goodreads more effectively as an author, and I kind of bozoed it right from the start. Authors can't separate their own books, so does anyone have any advice? The single listing is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Many thanks in advance.
