message 52: by joey (new)

joey (joez) | 30 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97... should be deleted: it's a clipped ISBN of the default version, so deleting it will merge them, and, as an unsuper, I can't separate out a default version to be merged.

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!

Angela (angelarenea) | 6 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... this is a set sold from a wholesale book seller (which is the reason for the 'new' on the title) There is no ISBN, publication date/publisher and only 5 reviews Thank you!

There's a truncated ISBN13 in the ISBN10 field.

Moloch | 3975 comments Please delete, duplicate

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.

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).


message 67: by Pisceschick (new)

Pisceschick | 34 comments This is a set of Kindle duplicates, and I've separated out the paperback already. I'd be glad to combine it back if you'd like, when you're done merging this.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

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. :)

message 70: by Mauro (new)

Mauro (mauro_mdc) | 37 comments Hi, if anyone could delete these two books:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
(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:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...

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).

message 72: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Following a lot of back and forth in this thread (last two posts), can I have the OK to merge/delete the second Kindle edition of this book:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
into
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

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"...

message 74: by Mauro (new)

Mauro (mauro_mdc) | 37 comments What should be done with:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
?
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.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Re 103

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.

See msg 2 in thread below

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.
