Totally missed this comment of yours Emy, so sorry. :(

Here's a direct link to the PDF copy from the author's website: http://msagarawest.files.wordpress.co...

These are all valid editions and we do not delete out of print books. Not sure why you think they warrant a deletion.

According to Amazon.com and the book in front of me, the ISBN-10: 0877723974 and ISBN-13: 978-0877723974 is for the book "The Third House: Lobbyists, Power, and Money in Sacramento" - http://www.amazon.com/Third-House-Lob...

This in my opinion is the correct goodreads listing in terms of author and title - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

This GR listing has the above title misspelled and no ISBN number. - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

This GR listing uses the same ISBN numbers referenced above, but has a different title - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...

I tried to add series to it but I failed :$

[[deleted user]]

No idea with this one, it is shelved a couple of times but a) either some added it as a joke or b) someone has edited all the info of a legitimate book incl title & author to total nonsense for whatever reason. May you take a look please? Thank you.

Can a super zap this one? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... Misspelled but combined with correct editions.

[Jane]

Got this when trying to add a new book: "I do not fight monsters"

Asin is taken by an existing book with the title "Unknown Book 13281714". Search for B004TH07KI in the header to view it. If you believe this is an error please double-check your data, then check the Goodreads Librarians group. ASINs are optional so you can also add this book without an ASIN.

Looks to me like the "Unknown Book" needs deleting.
Amazon link to the one I'm trying to add is here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0...
I'll put it in without the ASIN for now

[Sandra]

Jane, both books were published the same day. My guess is the unknown book IS your book.

The unknown book was created in the Amazon pullout of 2012, so a kindle edition would fit perfectly.

I would fill in the unknown book with your information or give your new book the ASIN and delete the Unknown.

[Jane]

I can't now work out how to get back to "my" book, and can't see any way of deleting the unknown one :( Sorry, very new to all this.

[Jane]

If I try to "rescue" the unknown one, I get told "IMPORTANT: Do not use Amazon's information to rescue books. "
And that's where I'm getting my info (and the book) from.

Vicky,
When I posted these 2 or 3 years ago, they were available. Being that these are ebooks not print books, once I have unpublished them they become unavailable therefore unattainable. For the simple matter of cataloging the artist's various works, leaving them posted makes sense. Otherwise no purpose is served.

If you own the book, doesn't matter if its from Amazon.

C.B. This is a book cataloguing site. Think of us as a library, holding all books, in whatever format, that have ever been published. Out of print etc is irrelevant.

Thank you for clarifying the role Goodreads plays in this process.

Well, assuming you are getting the book data from the book itself, and not from Amazon's site.

For future reference, Wynn, it's helpful if you separate out just the two editions needing merging. (The separate tool is the best way to do this.)

The first is a misspelled version of Rhyn's Redemption and has no identifying information. The second is an identical duplicate version with the same cover.

[Deon]

bad import from amazon

546 merged the first, and reverted the cover change on the second. Marked as an alternate cover edition. Poof @ 547.

Superlibrarians,

Please delete the following book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

I am the author and the edition is no longer current. If at all possible, can you please take the reviews and ratings and apply them to: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...

Thank you,

[Sandra]

Thanks Rivka ;)

This edition has a typo in the ISBN and the correct one is already listed.

Re 516: We are not deleting those."

There is already a page for the "unknown book". On the unknown book there is a title under "original title".

Here is the book with full information: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I see the unknown book as a repeat of this book.

We do not delete out-of-print editions or works. http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22...

"Unknown books" are remainders from last year's loss of Amazon data. They can be rescued (and probably will be in a few months). We don't delete them.

It was entered as an ebook without an ISBN. It has been combined with the proper ebook edition that includes the ISBN.

I'm getting most of the info from Amazon's site.
And I have no idea how to delete the "unknown" one, nor how to find the new one that I think I tried to add.

Well I assumed you were getting it from your copy and not Amazon.

To find the one you created put the author or the title of the book in the search field at the top of the page. To find the unknown book put the ASIN/ISBN in the same field.

We cannot use information from Amazon or other booksellers for legal reasons. Author sites and publisher sites are good sources.
