Weird entry

[Nick]

Despite searching the help section and Librarian Manual, I cannot for the life of me figure out what this is:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

There's no information whatsoever beyond the designation "(shannara)" and Terry Brooks being listed as the author. The title field is invisible in searches, the page listing the author's books, and the combine edition page. Just one person has it marked as "to-read," there are no reviews, yet when I try to delete it I'm told that "Only super-librarians can delete books with so many reviews."

Is this some arcane feature of Goodreads that I'm not privy to or is there legitimately something amiss with this entry?

You can't delete it because it's by itself, uncombined, and someone has shelved it. This is to protect shelved books from completely disappearing from the system.

My guess is someone created the record to refer to all the books in the "Shannara" series. If an omnibus book containing all the books of the series exists, combine it with that, and delete it. If an omnibus book doesn't exist, I would combine it with the first book in the series and then delete it.

Turns out a Shannara box set does exist:

So combine your bad record with the above, and delete the bad record.

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help!
