Chris Almeida (chrisalmeida) | 29 comments I was asked by an author friend to combine editions of a book but after I looked into it I realized that one of the entries was added by mistake.

This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is the only available edition of this book. It was published only on Amazon under the KDP select program. No other version is out there. It was originally added without a cover. I updated the record with the Amazon cover.

This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... was added as ebook version without ISBN. It does have a review though so I am leaving it to the pros to figure out what to do in this case.

Thanks,

Chris

✘✘ Sarah ✘✘ (former Nefarious Breeder of Murderous Crustaceans) (oosarahoo) | 134 comments I'm not sure my last requests for deletions (292 & 293) were taken care of, could someone please check? Or is it that these editions shouldn't be deleted?

Thanks!


message 309: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments There were indeed a few requests not done.
287-294 done, except for 292. That book is listed on Amazon, so it seems it is available.

Andrea (andrea_b) | 571 comments On Allegiant:

Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (no isbn) into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (has isbn) and combine back with the other editions.

also please merge this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (no isbn) into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (has isbn -- the publisher tried to change the cover, but it's really the UK hardcover edition's ISBN)... and also combine back with the other editions.

thanks!!


message 312: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 320 first request done. The second request is difficult. I don't know what is the issue with these covers, but as one of them has a note from someone from the staff, I'm leaving these as they are.

Erin (tangential1) | 10 comments Delete this please:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Or combine? But there are two additional Audio CD editions of this book and this entry has no data in it.

message 315: by Linda (new)

Linda (lindalanz) | 159 comments Please merge the incomplete one into the complete one:

complete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

incomplete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The incomplete one has a bungled-up ISBN-10. It should start with a 4 since it's a Japanese book, but what's in the ISBN-10 field appears to be the first ten digits of the ISBN-13. The complete one already has that ISBN-13 (the entire, correct 13-digit one). Thanks!


message 317: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 324 done. The ISBN13 in the ISBN10 slot is an common error.

The librarian note is referring to keeping the book's primary edition (this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) as the UK edition. Right now someone has switched the cover to the US cover. I don't really know if this edition should be the US or UK one: it has the UK ISBN but it's probably just because it was the first number that was available and it was attached to this primary edition months ago. Right now it has the US cover with the UK ISBN, so something needs to be corrected.

What I was requesting back in message 320 is regarding two other editions:
"please merge this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (no isbn) into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (has isbn)"

I undid the cover change in the second edition to reflect that it's the UK edition (it's had the UK Hardcover's ISBN since it was created), but someone else changed it back (sigh). The first one is just listed as 'UK Hardcover' with no ISBN (so they should be the same edition). Hopefully someone can correct this and finish the merge, thanks!

Carlene Havel (chch) | 12 comments Could someone detach "A Blizzard Wedding" AISN B00DDD8L6G from my profile? It is an anthology to which I contributed, but I am not the author. I don't find an IBSN, hoping the AISN will be sufficient. Thank you!


message 324: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 332 Book moved to the other author with the same name. And an edition can have ASIN or an ISBN, not both at the same time, so the ASIN is indeed enough.

Contributors are listed as secondary authors on anthologies. Moved back to your profile.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The first has a partial ISBN that matches the most popular edition, and the second has no ISBN at all. After checking the publisher's site, I'm pretty positive that only one hardback edition has been published so far. Thanks!


message 331: by Ashley E (new)

Ashley E | 416 comments A pile with no ISBNs or other edition specific information:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

There were a couple others I'm suspicious of, but I'll stick with these for now.

These books all refer to the same ASIN (both copies were made within days of each other and an edit was made with the ASIN).

A link to the book would be helpful.

345-350 done.

I can never remember what we do with books that will no longer be written. Ergo, I'm leaving 344 for someone else.

I made it to disappear the book from my attributed works by renaming the author as homonymous .

Please don't do that Massimo. Can you link the book here so we can attribute it to the correct author, please?

Apologies. Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It's a real homonymous, so the author is "Massimo Marino" but it is NOT Massimo Marino

It depends. In this case, it had no title, no ISBN, etc.

And the author definitely conclusively stated it won't happen.

So I would delete it, but it's timing out. Adding to the list to be deleted when that issue is fixed.
