titles from ingram

[Emy]

Possibly data added erroneously to Ingram? I know it happens - human error usually, and assume we would delete, but will wait on Rivka as not sure if should be NABed first?

I cleaned up he three under WorldCat Page, it seemed to be a mix of books that are no longer being published or may have been cancelled before publication, I can't tell which but either way we'd keep them.


Of the single link:

The first looks like it was cancelled before publication, I cleaned it up and added a note to that effect.

The second I can't tell for sure what happened, but I removed delete from the title. If it's on the marketplace someone somewhere has to have bought it somehow.

The third looks like it's another edition of this book based on the Amazon description, but I'm not really sure what to do with it. According to Amazon the date the one you linked was published is March 2nd and the other edition followed on March 27th. It looks to me like the author published the "delete this book" version and rather than updating it, turned it into a blank record and put a different ISBN on sale. Very odd. Not really sure what to do with it, but I suppose someone could have purchased it before it was "removed" so it should probably stay, though we probably shouldn't combine it with the Marriage and Family book unless we can find some information outside of Amazon.


The ones without WorldCat pages, I'm not sure about. I run into similar issues before, a lot of Avon and Zebra romances, and I usually leave them. I can never find enough information on them to properly fix them OR confirm that they really should be NABbed.

If they meet the usual NAB standards, we certainly get some NABable items from Ingram, despite the filters we've added.

But please only NAB if you're sure.
