Ankit Agrawal | 5 comments I am currently reading Cry, the Beloved Country. The edition I am reading was/is not listed among the editions I searched. So I tried to add a new edition on my own. But instead of adding to the same book, it created a totally separate book with the same name. The link is here Cry, the Beloved Country

Now I want to ask how do I delete this and add this edition to the original book's editions? I tried to delete it but its not accepting saying that only super librarians can delete it.

Please help

Empress (the_empress) When you add a book GR doesn't automatically combine it with the other editions. This is done manually by librarians to avoid mixing of different books . Every new adition is a separate book when added. Just post in the combine books topic and the librarians will combine it woth the other books and do any editing of the information if such is needed.

Let it be thanks. I am myself a librarian and I've done it. Thanks for your help on the information
