Heikki | 84 comments Please Change the description of this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
to this:
Helsinki, joulukuu 1999. Nick Stonen on kidnapattava isoja rahoja pesevä mafiapomo Valentin Lebed helsinkiläisestä hotellihuoneesta ja kuljetettava hänet Pietariin.

Yksinkertaiselta kuulostavan operaation alkaessa luisua raiteiltaan Lebed yrittää ostaa itsensä vapaaksi järjestämällä Stonelle hyvin palkatun keikan. Stone pestataan suojelemaan tietokonevakoilun asiantuntijaa, jonka on hankittava Lebedille suomalaisen kohteen huippusalaisia tiedostoja.

Kun hankkeesta saavat vihiä paitsi länsimaiset tiedustelupalvelut myös Venäjän hampaisiin asti aseistautunut alamaailma, Nick Stonelle valkenee painajaismaisen ajojahdin ja valtapelin mittakaava.

Nathan (ntyork) | 9 comments Hello,
Please help me with the details of this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
The original hardcover edition was published in 1957, not 1967, and it has 692 pages, not 704.
Also, I originally clicked on goodreads that I had read the paperback version, which does not have the number of pages in it, so the number of pages I've read this year was not updated in "stats". I then switched to the above hardback, but the pages weren't added to my stats? Can this be fixed?

Thanks so much!
Hope this isn't too tedious.
Nathan Y.

That edition has an ISBN. Considering when ISBNs were introduced, it could well be possible that the original 1957 edition doesn't have an ISBN and is therefore a different edition.

It might be better, in your case, if we updated the paperback edition that you own. If a specific edition that you own doesn't exist already in the database, then we can add it (including same ISBN, different cover).

Hmmm, just looked on Amazon and it says "Dec 1957" as the original published date for the hardcover, even though WorldCat has 1967. So have updated that, but page count should only be updated if you have that specific edition to compare with.

Nancy (decibelle5) | 76 comments Please change the description of both editions of Movies In Fifteen Minutes: The Ten Biggest Movies Ever For People Who Can't Be Bothered.

The current description is from a sale page. A better description is here.

Thanks!

Nancy (decibelle5) | 76 comments Re 211: Whoops, sorry about that. What if I provided a picture of the synopsis on the jacket flap (or the text itself)?

From your own scan of the book? That would be great.


message 215: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (decibelle5) | 76 comments Front jacket flap: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...

These movies would take nearly two days to watch end to end. And that's with no toilet breaks. And all you'd get to eat and drink would be giant buckets of coke and popcorn, and six inches of horrible pink gunk extruded on a bun. And your left hand will keep wandering down to that tacky gobbet of someone else's chewing gum under your seat. You know it will.

Even if you saw one a week it would take three months: you'd miss all those trips down the pub and your friends would stop speaking to you and you'd be in danger of turning into Jonathan Ross. And no one wants that.

Or perhaps you could watch them at home on DVD and never be able to get up out of your sofa ever again. Even when the pizza arrives.

But then Hollywood Blockbusters are a guilty pleasure you'd really not want to be without. Never fear. Help is at hand. Well, in your hand actually. Ten of the biggest movies of the last thirty years. Condensed. Made (intentionally) funny. Made (intentionally) very funny. Simple really.

Heikki | 84 comments Hi,

Please change this finnish backcover text for this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

"Outo ja eksoottinen Menzoberranzan on drow-haltioiden mahtava kaupunki. Nämä mustat haltiat elävät maassa, jossa perheet taistelevat keskenään ja satumaiset hirviöt nousevat valottomista syvyyksistä.

Mustia haltioita yhdistää häikäilemätön vallanhimo. Nuori puhdassydäminen ylimys Drizzt Do'Urden joutuu miettimään kuinka elää kunniattoman kansansa keskuudessa. "

Heikki | 84 comments Same thing for this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

"Uumenenalan armottomien syvyyksien yläpuolella Drizzt Do'Urden kamppailee selviytyäkseen hengissä Torilin pinnan ankarissa olosuhteissa. Nuori drow vaeltaa läpi maailman, joka on kokonaan erilainen kuin hänen omansa. Samalla hänen on paettava menneisyytensä varjoja. Hän alkaa ymmärtää uutta kotimaataan ja sen asukkaita, mutta harva maanpinnan asukas haluaa ymmärtää häntä."

please correct title in this one to "I wciąż ją kocham "

description: Dzieciństwo Johna Tyree nie należało do łatwych. Gdy okazało się, że świat nie stanie przed nim otworem, zaś szanse na uzyskanie wyższego wykształcenia są właściwie żadne, swoją przyszłość zobaczył w szeregach armii Stanów Zjednoczonych. Już jako żołnierz, będąc na przepustce, spotyka przypadkiem piękną Savannah Lee Curtis, dziewczynę swoich marzeń, która studiując i pracując dla Habitat for Humanity, wraz z grupą studentów, w ramach akcji dobroczynnej, buduje domy dla ubogich... Miłość, która łączy tych dwoje rozkwita nawet na przekór okolicznościom. Dziewczyna obiecuje czekać na ukochanego, póki nie minie okres jego służby.
Wydarzenia z jedenastego września, które wstrząsnęły światem, wstrząsną również ich życiem. John musi wybrać między uczuciem do dziewczyny i wiernością ojczyźnie. Pewnego dnia otrzymuje pożegnalny list od Savannach, w którym dziewczyna informuje go, że zakochała się w kimś innym. Gdy John wraca do domu, okazuje się, że miłość zmusi go do podjęcia najtrudniejszej decyzji w życiu.

Gemma (bookmoodreviews) | 28 comments Also this record needs deleted

message 240: by Susie (new)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #238-9 done. With the second it doesn't need deleting, just combining with the other editions (for reference, for GR purposes Kindle editions and ebooks are considered separate editions).

As a note, GR authors can only make (minor) changes to their own works, as they do not have full librarian status.

Gemma (bookmoodreviews) | 28 comments Thanks Susie. Dippy me got mixed up. I have librarian status. Think it must just be junior level though. lol.

Ahh, didn't look at your profile, actually. What needed to be changed in this case was the number of spaces in the authors name - by checking the book with the name correctly listed, I copied the name from there and pasted it into the book with the incorrect author.
