Within the last few years, I've had two books on Goodreads that have been marked as being duplicates of each other. However, although their names are the same, the one is a Cliff Notes/SparkNotes-type of review book for the novel by the same name. Is there a way to revise the title of the review book to clarify the book as such, so it isn't marked by the duplicates (https://www.goodreads.com/review/dupl...
) finder on Goodreads.

1st book: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
2nd book: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

What will it take to prove to you that these two are combined in the duplicates tool? Screenshots? Ill produce some, if need be.

Now it isn't. But it was combined, much earlier today, and it's been like that for close to 2 years now! Whatever you did, thank you!
