Anne (thefingersofgod) | 6 comments Hello,

Can we please combine these two editions of the same book?

Early, self-pub'd edition: link to buy is now dead. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

forthcoming, professionally-published edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thank you very much!

Nucking Futs the Fire Fairy Book-a-holic (firefairyholic) | 348 comments #524 done. i noticed the book is included in a series. i've also taken liberty to add the book to your Nunslinger Series and link it to the other books. i hope that's ok with you. if not, please reply on this thread. since there was no cover on your first entry. i also took the liberty to add the cover from Amazon since it is in Kindle edition.

ETA: link to buy is not dead.

Anne (thefingersofgod) | 6 comments Thank you very much! The Amazon link, however, does not work. I keep getting this error message:

We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.

Thank you!


Nucking Futs the Fire Fairy Book-a-holic (firefairyholic) | 348 comments maybe it's a browser thing. it's working for me.
here's the amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008...


message 506: by Anne (new)

Anne (thefingersofgod) | 6 comments Ah, interesting. I had some others try the link on their computers (in other offices) and it didn't work for them! As that's no longer available for purchase, would it be possible to make the other edition the 'top' edition? Or should I instead request that the two editions be merged, instead of combined?

Thank you for your patience!

Nucking Futs the Fire Fairy Book-a-holic (firefairyholic) | 348 comments The default edition of a book -- the one which shows up on the author page , in non-ISBN-specific searches, and several other places -- is determined by the number of Goodreads users who have shelved each edition.

As more users shelve the new edition, it will become the default instead.
librarians don't have the power to change the default edition of a book. only the authors have the power to change them.

as for merging, you have to ask help from the super-librarians here but i doubt they can be merged since they are of different editions.

Anne (thefingersofgod) | 6 comments Okay - thank you very much!


message 509: by M.L.M. (new)

M.L.M. Palima | 2 comments Is it possible to combine 3 author pages into one if they're the same person (each of the 3 have slightly different variations of the name due to spacing and punctuation)? Specifically:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The single book listed under each also needs to be combined.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

M.L.M. You should put that request on the above discussion thread since you are a GR author and only employees can do that sort of merge.

This:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...--
The missing summary: (It's in Greek don't know if you can add it or not, but just in case....)

Το 1935 ο Μιγκέλ Ναβάρο συγκρούεται με μέλη της Ισπανικής Πολιτοφυλακής κι εγκαταλείπει το ψαράδικο χωριό του, αναζητώντας μια καλύτερη τύχη στην Γκερνίκα, κέντρο της βασκικής κουλτούρας και παράδοσης. Εκεί βρίσκει κάτι περισσότερο από μια νέα ζωή -βρίσκει τη γυναίκα που θ' αγαπήσει.

Η Μίρεν είναι μια χαρισματική χορεύτρια, που, αν και μπορεί να επιλέξει ανάμεσα στους εργένηδες συντοπίτες της, ερωτεύεται τον γοητευτικό Μιγκέλ. Οι δυο τους θ' ανακαλύψουν τον αληθινό έρωτα και θα ζήσουν το απόλυτο όνειρο μέχρι τη στιγμή που ο βομβαρδισμός της Γκερνίκα απ' τη Λουφτβάφε, στις αρχές του Δευτέρου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, θ' αλλάξει για πάντα τη ζωή τους.

Ο Μπόλινγκ, μέσα από μια υπέροχη ιστορία αγάπης, αναπαριστά ένα στυγνό έγκλημα πολέμου, που έπληξε ανεπανόρθωτα την ψυχή ενός υπερήφανου λαού και αποτέλεσε πηγή έμπνευσης για τον περίφημο πίνακα Γκερνίκα του Πάμπλο Πικάσο.

With this:

Thank you! :)

Diniz Bortolotto | 17 comments Hi buddies!


I think this book: O barão nas árvores (Portuguese Edition)

is just another edition of this one: The Baron in the Trees (I nostri antenati #2)

and they could be combined.

Excuse me, but If I search info on Amazon about Kindle Edition of this book, I found a release date more recent than Hardcover edition. It is possible?


message 543: by eyes.2c (new)

eyes.2c (eyes2c) | 119 comments Exactly
When I look at Severn House, UK ed HC I assume came out in Sept 2012
US ed says Jan 1, 2014.
However Kindle ed US on Amazon says Dec 20, 2013.
That's what I meant by hazy. Mmm
Cheers

I only confirmed the publication information (which is officially correct) and deleted empty entries without making any changes yesterday. Have now added the missing UK edition, which indeed was published in September. It's here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Yes. The UK edition (that wasn't pervously listed on GR) was published in September. Ebooks and hardcover/paperback editions are sometimes published separately. :)

Hopefully everything is now right ;) Thanks, eyes.2c, I wouldn't probably have looked into this more if you haven't said about it.


#570 combined.
