Marcia Matthews | 19 comments How do I remove obsolete books from my author page? Incubus I. Fast Friends and Incubus II. Hippieville have been canceled by the publisher at my request. The two have been reissued as one book under the title HIPPIEVILLE. Please advise how to delete these previous versions from my list of books. Thank you.

Empress (the_empress) Hi Marcia, you can post in this topic a request for their deletion [just copy your current post there] and the super-librarians will take care of it. [They might decide to merge the book entries].

I'm not sure what you mean by "cancelled"; they appear to both have been published in 2001.

Presumably you are talking about cancelling the Kindle editions. The paperbacks were published in 2001. Since no one has added the Incubus kindles I suppose we could just change them to the paperbacks.

EDIT: nook are selling it.

Have they been sold in the past, so that editions do exist?

They were for sale; by Goodreads standards they were published, regardless of whether any copies were sold.

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...
