Dave O (craftbeerandvinyl) | 3 comments Can anyone tell me if I am able to delete a certain edition of a book in which there appear to be two of the same? I most recently started reading The Clock of Dreams by Lumley and noticed that there were two of the same hardcover editions, so I edited one into the Grafton Mass Market Paperback and then realized there were now two MMP editions. Let me know!

Thanks!

Please never edit an existing edition/format to become a different one. And never remove a valid ISBN or ASIN.

We keep editions if they have any of the following distinct: ISBN/ASIN, cover, format. If you are unsure whether a given edition should be kept or merged, it is best to ask in this group.

Dave O (craftbeerandvinyl) | 3 comments The Clock of Dreams hardcover edition already had a it's own listing, now there are two Grafton Mass Market Paperback editions. Are you able to delete/remove one of them?

Dave O (craftbeerandvinyl) | 3 comments Never mind. I see that the two hardcover editions, while labelled as the same publisher, have different ISBNs. I've simply found what I believe to be the correct cover art for the edition that is the listed as the top edition when searching for the book.
