Please remove the seco..."
Only because edits to the books which violate Goodreads policy were made. Those edits have been reverted.
Please note that we don't remove published editions from the site, nor do we change covers. If a book is published under more than one author name, the original name must be kept as primary author for all editions.

Edit: Actually, 51 times out. We can try again when the deletion issue with popular books/authors is fixed, which hopefully will be soon.
hello,please delete this book:

(there is a better version of this book:

The covers for that book is not the correct cover, it has mbeen changed. Also the book is no longer published under that author name....she uses a pseudonym.

Goodreads policy is that we DO NOT remove published editions from the site, even if they are now out of print. Similarly, we do not change covers, even if a new version has been published. We add an additional edition with the new cover, which is what was there before you made your edits, and what I restored.
If a book is published under more than one author name, the original name must be kept as primary author for all editions. The fact that she now publishes under a pseudonym does not change Goodreads policy or how the books are listed on Goodreads -- except that the newer version of the book will have the pseudonym as an additional author.
Edition with no ISBN & few details, needs to be merged by super: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...(Merge without separating will automatically put it with a hardback edition with the same cover pic)
A couple more similar ones from a different book:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
(not a yet-to-be-published edition, user who entered it, read and reviewed it appears to have made a typo in the date as well as title as the main ed. was first published 13 Nov 2012)
Another one for the same book with typo in title and few other details: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
(Scribner is a Simon & Schuster imprint)

My persian is non-existent, but those covers look different from each other.
Dup Kindle edition (separated out): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...Note: Requires recombine w/ other editions BUT based on quick skim, seems that this author publishes under "Whitney G." but had author profile = Whitney Gracia Williams. Don't have time now but all of her books may need to be checked/corrected to conform with GR's policy re: published name as primary author.
someone has created another version of The Cuckoo's Calling. it has zero reviews. here's the link:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...has bad ISBN, check digit should be 9. Pls. merge with:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...The above appears to be a no info dup of: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
HI,It looks like I have two pages for one e book with ASIN B00EEJ3KDC. I'm trying to get an ad started but the ad goes to the page that doesn't have the cover of my book.
Could you please combine these two pages so my cover would be displayed on all ads.
Thanks for your help. The links below are for the two book pages.

That edition looks fine...?
Novelette included in the larger story collection with which it is currently combined.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
Short story in the New Yorker. I don't see that this is available independently anywhere.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
Super. Please satisfy yourself that this was not in fact an alternate cover edition, although it looks to have been created that way to begin with. Then it looks like someone decided the original edition had the wrong cover....http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
and recombine.

re. 85 (and 82) It was an exact duplicate of the first British hardback edition without an ISBN. Seems to be ok now as there is no longer a duplicate. Perhaps it was one I was able to do myself after all.The number in the URL changes if you go into the edit screen, oddly.
This one, however:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
is a duplicate which needs to be merged with:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
(I haven't separated them from the main work.(
Burn by Maya Banks has an extra edition without much information. It needs a superlibrarian to delete it.
Combine and separate just keep spinning, so...86, 87, 88 - Done
89 - Merge is done but still needs to be combined.
90 - Done
91 - Needs a combined before merge.
92 - Needs a separate before merge.
93 - I've noticed recently that when a book is deleted, the link for that book now forwards to the edition it was merged into. Probably so there aren't dead links in forums. Convenient for users, inconvenient for us because it's hard to tell if something has been deleted or not. ;)
I will come back for yours since it needs a separate.
94 - Needs a combine before merge.
95 - Needs a separate before merge.
Long story short - 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95 are not done. 89 needs a re-combine. I'll come back later unless someone gets here first.
Everything is done now.I left 95 because after looking at it again the covers are different.
Please delete http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...I added it but then I realized this edition is already in the database.
Thanks!
