Diane Alberts (dianealbertsjenmclaughlin) | 4 comments Is there a way to get these three books deleted? They are not coming out. I am the author of these books (under two pen names)

These have been cancelled completely, not delayed. Correct?


message 3: by Diane (new)

Diane Alberts (dianealbertsjenmclaughlin) | 4 comments Correct. They're definitely not coming out.

I deleted them.

If your publisher is still sending out their data, they could get re-added the next time we get an import from them, though.

Diane Alberts (dianealbertsjenmclaughlin) | 4 comments It shouldn't be re-added, but I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you!!!!

Grampy (goodreadscomgrampy) Rivka - You seem like the right person for me to ask. I was adding a book, and everything was going along fine, when I realized the Description I put down was for a DIFFERENT book I had just finished reviewing, so it was fresh in my mind. I had already clicked the "Create Book" button. I tried to back up to make the change, which seemed to work, but when I tried to Create Book a second time, it would not allow it because a book with that name and ASIN already existed. (It was referring to the one I just added with the error.) How can I delete my erroneous attempt so I can create the correctly described book?

Thank you for any help you can give me. The book in question is called "Soul Mates", with the ASIN number being B007CMFDY2.

Lobstergirl You can't, without being a librarian. If you provide the correct description a librarian can edit for you. Link:

(I added the description from Amazon.)

I created a new "book" with my description, but omitted the ASIN. So what I really need is to have the first one totally obliterated, so I can add the ASIN (or a Librarian can, but I thought I WAS a Librarian).

Another librarian has already taken care of merging the duplicate edition.

To become a librarian, you have to apply for that status and be approved. Everyone is welcome to join this group, but doing so doesn't make you a librarian.

Also, it's better to start a new thread than to post in one that's not really related to your question.

Candlewick Press (candlewickpress) | 3 comments Could a super-librarian please delete the following? We are canceling these titles and will no longer be feeding data. We were going to simultaneous publish two editions and I was able to delete one edition of each but not the other.

ISBNs:
978-0-7636-6993-5
978-0-7636-6994-2
978-0-7636-6995-9
978-0-7636-6996-6


Thank you!
Raquel - Candlewick Press
