Looks like a newish member added the book by mistake as her first "want to read" and then shelved a completely different edition. Deleted.

XD"It's something you'll see fairly frequently, and lots of times regular librarians can deal with it. What you'd do is combine the book that needs to be deleted with the other editions (this one with the other House of Hades books), then you could delete this edition at the very very bottom of the edit page.
You combine first so that when you delete the book, the people who have shelved or rated the wrong edition will have their reviews/ratings transferred to a different edition. But if too many people (more than 5?) have rated/added/whatevered the book, a superlibrarian has to do the deleting, like in this case.
It's usually pretty clear when deletions are appropriate... No ISBN, title not in standard format, no cover, not combined. But some no-ISBN books are old or are alternate-cover editions, so watch out for those.
I went ahead and combined it with the other editions, but a superlibrarian will have to delete it. I made a request in the appropriate thread to have it deleted.
