This book is a figment of the author's imagination in The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. It does not exist; it is not a real book.

Thanks!

Dejana, pls see rivka's post here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

* Reverse merge (other edition has more info/cover). Pls do not re-combine yet. I need to confirm ebook releases for this book. If only one, then may be back w/ another dup edition to delete.
See post #149

The first book is actually not a book, it doesn't exist. The title doesn't make any sense either (it's Spanish).
Thanks!

This online ebook is a collection of little stories and as Rivka already stated in a librarian note "This should be listed as a single ebook, not a separate one for each snippet. -- rivka"
But now there are 3 of these stories that were made into a seperate book. Could a superlibrarian please merge them, thank you.

It's a duplicate of this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Not normally an issue for this thread, but fixed author ordering and combined. Third ISBN-less ebook merged into the one with the ISBN from the publisher. Should all be sorted now.

The first one has a cover not found on any other paperback edition (so it's probably an alternate-cover edition, although not so labelled). The second one is a perfectly valid Kindle edition with a unique ASIN.
You appear to have also deleted a valid paperback edition of that book, which had a different cover than the remaining paperback. Please be more careful.

Both these requests came authors themselves. I was only doing as they asked.
For the first one...thank you for deleted the extra one. Author did not want it there.
As for the second one...I apologize if I deleted something incorrectly. I just wanted to keep the current version author wanted and she asked me to delete other version. Thank you for combining.
Just got email for alternate covers....will do as stated, thank you

Unfortunately, many authors are either not familiar with Goodreads policies or choose to ignore them. Librarians are expected to be familiar with the Librarians Manual and our policies, and those who ignore them risk losing their librarian privileges.
I did not delete any of the editions that you linked, as no deletion was warranted. In fact, I added back the one you deleted.
Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....
If the author is a Goodreads member who has claimed their author profile, they will then have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default. Here's how: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/31...

Fair enough...I will do better research next time and I apologize for all the confusion. It will not happen again. It was an error of judgement on my side.

FYI, wrong thread.

hi, i would like to kindly check if someone is able to delete the less popular edition of the book as there is a link for another edition which is exactly the same thing? I have separated our and combined the same two version.
thanks in advance.
