♡B♡ | 19 comments There are 5 editions...
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

These are the only 3 that are needed

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

2) B&N - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

3) Kindle Paperback - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

These other 2 don't go to anything and the author asked if I could find a way to delete them for her.

1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(this is the correct ISBN number but it isn't linking to the amazon page so she is using the first link above with the ASIN number.)

2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(she doesn't know what the number for this one is for)

So I figured I would ask.

Thanks in advance.

Banjomike | 5166 comments The first one you want removing has links to Smashwords.
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...

The second one used to link to Smashwords, was published 17 Nov 2013, and has been removed but it also looks valid.

I'ved removed the selling links from two books but they all look OK to me.

♡B♡ | 19 comments You guys are awesome! We couldn't figure out where the other ones were too!

Is there any way to combine the two or delete one since they are for the same site?

They each have their own ISBN or ASIN or BNID so we can assume that are all genuine editions in their own right. They are correctly combined so nothing needs doing unless new info comes to light. If such info does appear then post it here and we can help you sort it out.

♡B♡ | 19 comments Thank you SO very much! :)


S.C. Ellington | 3 comments Thanks everyone for helping with this!

My question is, can the unpublished version on Smashwords be deleted? I only have one published version on their wesbite at hte moment.

Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books. Please see http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/32...


S.C. Ellington | 3 comments But the book was never technically in print, since it was a pre-order. The book doesn't even release until tomorrow, technically.

The deleted page refers to publication on 17 Nov 2013 so we have to assume that it was available from that date.

EDIT: the purchase link on the deleted page still works.


message 11: by S.C. (new) - rated it 5 stars

S.C. Ellington | 3 comments Well it doesn't show in my Smashwords dash board. Well, I guess it will stay. I can't combine the Smashwords editions?

One edition per ISBN, unless there's a new cover. (Then two.)


message 13: by ♡B♡ (new)

♡B♡ | 19 comments Got back in contact with the author and she said that only one of them is active. That the other one was deactivated....This one...

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

the ISBN is no longer active she said.

Again, that means the book is out of print. Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books.
