https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thanks!!

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

Thanks!

287-294 done, except for 292. That book is listed on Amazon, so it seems it is available.

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!!


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.

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!

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!

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!

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

as it is a duplicate of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

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

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

also https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (no isbn) into main edition
and finally https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... into main edition
thanks!


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


Cool, thanks. Take care.

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.
