Ann Douglas (anndouglas) | 70 comments Hi GoodReads Librarians -

A few errors have crept into my list of books written. It would be great if someone could do a bit of cleanup, when you have time:

Here is a link to the list:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

Here is what needs to be done:

Remove these books, which I did not write:
- Little Women
- Uncle Tom's Cabin
- Charlotte Temple and Lucy Temple

Combine various editions of these books (now listed multiple times):
- The Mother of All Pregnancy Books
- The Mother of All Baby Books
- The Mother of All Toddler Books
- The Mother of All Parenting Books

Combine duplicate listings for
- Sleep Solutions for Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler
- Mealtime Solutions for Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler
- Trying Again
- The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby

Delete the listing for The Mother of All Immunization Guides. (This is a brochure, not a book; I have no idea why someone listed it. Odd!)

Thanks very much for your help with this -- and for everything else you do to make GoodReads such an amazing resource.

Ann

vicki_girl | 2764 comments I moved the first three and combined all your other books. However, I did not delete any editions as they appear to have legitimate ISBNs.

Also, it appears that The Mother of All Immunization Guides was available as an ebook with an ISBN at one point, based on google search.

Ann Douglas (anndouglas) | 70 comments Hi again -

The Mother of All Immunizations was a 3" x 4" pamphlet of about 40 pages that Wiley produced on behalf of a public relations company. I am not sure why it was was issued an ISBN. In terms of being "published as an e-book," I think the pamphlet was made available for download as a pdf. It seems odd to include this pamphlet here.

These two e-books should probably be combined with the other editions of The Mother of All Pregnancy Books and The Mother of All Baby Books:

Thanks very much.

Nonetheless, if it was "made available for download as a pdf", that constitutes publication as an ebook by GR standards.

Combined the other editions with their friends.

Banjomike | 5166 comments There were other editions of the Immunizations book. At least one had the ISBN 9780470156636 (a PDF, not on GR) and is still for sale. Should I add it?
