vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got #305

Regarding #306, one has an ASIN (Kindle) and the other has what appears to be a valid ISBN. I changed the one with the ISBN to "ebook".

Got #307

Looks like someone else got #308.

Fran (narflet) | 129 comments I have this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

Details are correct (year, page count, &c) but the cover is not. The 2005 cover is the same as this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The 2007 reprint uses the same ISBN but the cover that's in place now. I think someone tried to add an alternate cover edition at some point, because there's a duplicate here with the same cover but a truncated ISBN13 in the 10 field: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Not sure if the cover was changed at some point for 2005 edition. If yes, not sure what the best thing to do is and I leave it to someone who does know. If no, can someone merge the duplicates please and I'll fix the data and add an alternate cover edition for the 2005 version. Thanks!

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments One for feedback from those more experience + Rivka:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Author has requested that the following be deleted as they will no longer be published. Three have publication dates of 2014 and beyond, but one has a Nov 2013 date. Can I clarify whether it's OK to delete the pre-pubs?

All four book links:
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...

All have ratings.

aaaaaaaand scrolling up I see Vicky has already answered this, sorry!

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #317

2005 is the publication date for both, which is correct (the 2007 reissue would still the 2005 edition, if that makes sense?).
I _think_ the black cover ISBN might be a North American edition, but not certain. It's not showing on Worldcat at all for me.
I will merge 11035014 with 930131 as being a truncated ISBN of the earlier record but if you have THAT ISBN with another cover, we will still need an ACE of that cover. If you're happy doing that, I'll leave it to you, but can you put Librarian notes on BOTH editions in this case, please. :)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #318 & #323 please separate the duplicates off with ONLY the target editions, thanks.

Do you mean I should seperate each duplicate and then combine it with its target edition? Just making sure, I don't want to do anything wrong!

I don't know what the target edition is for this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It looks suspicious and I couln't find any info about it anywhere (Worldcat, Google, Amazon...)


message 318: by Paweł (new)

Paweł Dembowski | 10 comments This edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

is a duplicate of this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The latter has the correct ISBN, the former has a typo.


message 319: by Emy (last edited Dec 22, 2013 12:53PM) (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Sarah - exactly that. E.g. Paperback to Paperback, 2005 to 2005, and so on. When we merge a book, we need to know that the merge will go into the correct edition, or closest as the merge automatically goes to the next most popular version...

This is particularly important with language!


message 320: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #327 done, + ISBN13 added


message 321: by [deleted user] (new)

Could you combine these two editions? One of them has all of the correct information and other is blank (although the latter is the more popular version).

It is a dupe of this book - guess the lowercase x fooled the ISBN checker?

340 On the other edition you changed the ASIN, why is that done?

341 done

342 That is an alternate cover edition

343-350 done

351 done. I guess also that lowercase x fooled the checker.

352 Although is a strange edition, it has an ASIN, so I'm not sure it should be deleted.

353 done

It's a duplicate of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

(The author asked me to do this, but I'm not a super-librarian.)

The first link is a paperback copy only, and the second link encompasses eBook and paperback.

Thanks!
