Got the remaining one from 129, 134, 138-145.
Got 153: In future, please separate out the two editions to be merged before posting in this thread.
Got 154, 155.
Re 156: In future, please link to the book/show page, not the book/edit page. In any case, it seems to be an ebook and the other edition is a paperback. No merge.

Such e-book does not exist.
The digital library “Chitanka”, where the data for this edition comes from, is in fact a piracy site. Most of the 'e-books' there, including this one, are digitized by them print editions.

Second one has ASIN in the ISBN field. Third one was manually added by someone who identified it as a kindle version but added truncated ebook ISBN13 to the ISBN field. See thread here:

Ren, Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....
As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Are dupes of this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

A few hours ago a librarian added another edition of Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer. It just happens to be identical to the edition we already have. The cover has been removed but there does not seem to be any point in having two versions of the book on Goodreads when only one single version, a PDF, has ever existed.
This is the edit page and it is ready to go:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/1...

dup... that somehow managed to become the most popular edition

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
then merge the remaining one with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
and merge the remainig one with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

166-179 done.
For the librarians who make a request here, please check if the edition is correctly combined for merging, we prefer to merge books into the best matching edition, so we want an edition with a cover or format merged in an edition with the same cover or format.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... is a kindle edition with a valid ASIN. I added the cover from Amazon and combined it with the paperback edition.

I'm having the same result.
