I've hesitated to combine similar cases as well, but Rivka recently pointed out to me that they are most likely revised editions of the same book, and therefore can be combined:

www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1343131-...

(In this case it would probably make sense to make David A. Crowley the primary author and then combine them.)

Liralen | 8224 comments Thanks, Karoliina! I finished combining them and will bear that in mind in the future.

Thanks a lot!

#208 done (I think, I just added Nathan Moore as the other author for the second one and it automatically added it?)

Miriam (mnw210) | 2 comments Hi,
I accidentally combined two of my books into one edition, can someone separate them for me? I combined Girl in Motion and Breaking Pointe by Miriam Wenger-Landis.
Also, Girl in Motion has a new cover I'd like to add and replace the old one, how do I do that?
Thank you!

Hi Miriam,

I separated your works from each other.

If the book has a new cover, you should add it to goodreads as a new edition. Old covers aren't replaced by new ones. You can read more about this practice here:

(also the Q&A here might be useful to you: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...)

Siina | 90 comments This http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... and this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... are the one and same. The "Tsuioku" is the correct one with the original Japanese name (Start Line is just s scanlation group translation of it).

Steve | 45 comments Hi there. This author

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

should be combined with

If you need some guidance on combining the editions here, please let me know.

message 223: by Steve (new)

Steve | 45 comments Hi there again. This book's

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

author is, in English, Lucian of Samosata:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I don't see an English counterpart to this book, though, so it should be given an independent listing on the latter page. Of the other two listings attributed to Lucien, one, the third, is clearly not by Lucian of Samosata. For the first listing, I don't know the language and cannot help.
Thank you.

Nathan Moore | 3 comments Hello again. I was added as an author for both versions of this book, which is great. I don't think the versions combined, however. I'd appreciate your help, sorry for the trouble!

Ashby Albright | 28 comments I tried to combine J. Ardian Lee "Outlaw Sword" and Julianne Lee "Outlaw Sword". These are the same book (I own it and was examining the cover art). Would someone help me please?


message 242: by Ashby (last edited Jul 18, 2013 12:01AM) (new)

Ashby Albright | 28 comments along with this third listing has J Ardian Lee but without the period after the J. I wasn't able to combine that either.

I got the hometown and the hiroshima but someone else I think got the first one.



message 244: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31515 comments Ashby, Julianne Lee is a GR author, so I've posted this request in the correct thread for staff to combine them.

I fixed the no period author profile.

Tomi Pakei | 32 comments Hi,

I just added this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It's the same as:

Please combine, thank you.

Re Outlaw Sword:

We don't merge pen-names. Any book of hers published under both names will have as primary (for all editions) whichever name it was published under first, and as secondary the other name if that's what's on its cover. Only one edition of Outlaw Sword did not have J. Ardian Lee as the listed author (as per cover or other source), and it has been fixed to have Julianne Lee as secondary. All editions are now combined.


message 248: by Steve (new)

Steve | 45 comments Hi there. The author of this book

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...

is Mei Yuan:

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The book is currently listed with its translator as author.
As if that nonsense weren't enough, the biography

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35...

was written by Arthur Waley

http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

(and not by a man dead for over 300 years). Here

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

you will find a listing for another edition of the book under the correct author, so they should be merged. Thank you.
