Mistake in the title

[Rainbowheart]

There's a mistake in this title. The author is listed as part of the title.

[Rainbowheart]

There's another mistake here...

How Would You Feel If Your Dad

The title is "How Would You Feel If Your Dad Was Gay?" The last two words are left off the Goodreads title.

[Rainbowheart]

And another mistake...

Generous Jefferson Bartleby Jo

The title is "The Generous Jefferson Bartleby Jones."

[Jonetta]

I've corrected Beyond Evie.

[Rainbowheart]

Cool, thanks!

I'm new here so I don't know the etiquette. Should I make a separate thread for each book that needs correcting?

No, this works.

[Rainbowheart]

Thanks, Jonetta!

Here's another mistake.

I'm not really sure how to categorize it. I think it's a mistake with both the title and the author and also a case of a book being double listed.

The Family Fletcher

The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher

This is the same book, but the second title is the right one. I think the listings should be combined or else the first one should be deleted.

Goodreads also has the author for both listed as Dana Levy, the same person who did a bunch of photo books. But I don't think it's the same person. The author of this book is Dana Alison Levy.

Also, whenever you click on either title, it takes you first to the Listening Library audio version. Shouldn't it take you first to the hardcover that's getting released? I dunno if that can be corrected.

[Jonetta]

I'm working on it.

[book:The Family Fletch..."

I've corrected the titling, combined all editions and created the new author (you are correct that the proper name is Dana Alison Levy).

Request for super librarian assistance: There are two editions that cannot be validated. There should only be one audio (978-0804168649) and one hard copy edition (978-0385376525). The two requiring deletion are locked and need super librarian action.

re: 12, no delete, valid ISBN's

The fact that it cannot be found does not mean it is invalid.

Not understanding your comment...

why do think this should be deleted? Just because you cannot validate it doesn't make it an invalid ISBN.

[Jonetta]

Then what would make it valid for this edition? I can't find it anywhere (publisher's website, LOC, Amazon). Also, your original statement was unclear.

I'm just trying to gain some insight as to why it's appropriate to keep two editions of a book that have ISBNs that may not be assigned to these books.

Thanks in advance for your patience as I try to learn something here.

[Deon]

This book has 4 editions, all can be found on amazon or random house (Delacorte Press is their imprint).

9780385376525 - http://www.amazon.com/Misadventures-F...

9780385376549 - http://www.amazon.com/Misadventures-F...

9780804168656 - http://www.randomhouse.com/highschool...

9780804168649 - http://www.randomhouse.com/highschool...

(this has a 2014 pub date, so it is going to be difficult to find anyways)
Just because you can't find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[Rainbowheart]

Thanks for looking into it guys.

I guess there are four editions? Library binding, normal hardcover binding, audio book download and audio book CD.

If you type the title into the search engine, the link that comes up is for the audio book CD. I dunno what the process is for Goodreads, but don't first links normally take you to the book editions?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

They take you to whatever edition has been shelved by the most users. As more users add the various editions, that will likely shift to a print edition.

[Rainbowheart]

Thanks for info! Huh, I wonder if I should unshelve the audio version and switch to the hardcover one.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

You can use the "switch to this edition" link on the target edition if you wish.

[Rainbowheart]

Yeah, I thought of doing that, but then when other people click on the link that automatically comes up, they won't see the listopia lists I put it on, right? They seem to be confined to one edition and I don't want people to miss out on the lists.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Whatever edition is on the list is the only one the list will show up for.

[Rainbowheart]

Thanks, that's what I figured.

[Jonetta]

Appreciate your help, Rivka.

[Rainbowheart]

Here's one more mistake...

One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dad

The last word should be "Dads," not "Dad."

[Nucking Futs the Fire Fairy]

dad changed to dads

[Rainbowheart]

Thanks Chelssie!

It gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book is also used for other books. I am closing this thread. Start new ones for other books.
