You can, actually, and the same way I would: with the separate tool. But it's not necessary when the edition to be merged into is the default.
poof!

There's a truncated ISBN13 in the ISBN10 field.

This one, I don't know if it should be deleted, but the ISBN seems incomplete

Got it. In future, please separate out the two editions needing merging.

Got both of these, but again, it's helpful if you separate out the pairs needing merging.

I thought I did

According to the change log the author herself tried to delete the book by simply replacing the data by dots. Can someone clean that up?

Separated out.
Thought it was a reprint with a slightly different cover, but looking closer the only difference is that the better photo has been taking in lower light. #2 is the earlier edition, 1997 was a reprint with same ISBN (according to Worldcat).

There's an issue with it being a re-published book with a pseudonym name change, which I'll also fix when they're merged. :)

(no ISBN, but it is the same book as the on to be combined to)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
(same book again, the ISBN13 was inserted as ISBN10 truncated, so last digits are missing).
They should be combined/transferred to:

Thanks!
(There is quite a mess in Poe, complete short stories/selected/stories&poems...I think it will be dofficult to fix it wihtout knowing the content of each one).

The author is categorical that it was never published as an ebook with this cover. This pink/white cover was ONLY on the paperback edition. As there has been so much back and forth on the change log I want to get it OK-ed before doing anything! It seems that the paperback cover was added in error at some point, and since then there's been a loop of "but that's the wrong cover" / "ACE"...

It hasn't got any description nor ISBN. There is not such book. It is the name of the series...but 17 people have added it.
Can I ask a librarian to help me remove these books; I am the author--Gracias, Sarah

Edition to delete: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... (has less details)

We do not delete published books even if it has only been published for 5 days.
People have read and reviewed and will want to keep it as part of their reading catalogue.

Goodreads does not remove un-published or out of print books from the database. Think of it as a library, not a bookseller. Users have already read and reviewed your book and should be able to keep record of that even is the book is no longer available.
