https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... Has ISBN but no other details. I searched worldcat for this ISBN and nothing came up. Merge record with most pop version/default?: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
version with no info except that it's an ebook, the title is wrong too:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... combine with this ebook that I separated out: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Please recombine with default version when done

then combine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
thanks

Would you please be kind enough to remove Gerald's Car and Tori-Jean's Busy Day from my page.
I didn't write either of them. You keep removing these books for me but they turn up over and over. Is there anyway we can keep them off my page for good?
Thanks once again
Jackie Xx


thanks!

Then it is to recombine with: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

into this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
You can see the URL on the firs book leads to a page where 3 different editions with ISB numbers are offered. All of them are in the catalog.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by your comment?

I mean that the first edition is redundant. Since it leads to a publisher/seller page that has 3 ISB numbers and all are in the GR database it can be merged into any of them, at least into the second and third one since the cover is the same.
This is the URL: http://www.tantor.com/BookDetail.asp?...
And these are the numbers: 9781400107636, 9781400157631, 9781400177639
And this is the edition that needs to be merged/removed: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


invalid isbn
(cover was added later, not matching with isbn)
correct isbn: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
same cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
since isbn and cover were added by different users, to me it seems not meant to be an ACE, so please delete. In case a super disagrees, feel free to make it an ACE

Of this edition, which has all the info: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This book is already in the catalogue with the correct author.

It appears that the cover and as well as the book were added by the same person (click on "this edition" when looking at the librarian edits). So the intention could have been to make it an ACE. However, I cannot find any reference to that ISBN being linked to the other cover. But enough people have added that edition to say that it is a possibility that that ISBN and cover combination do exist somewhere (even the publisher lists yet another two ISBNs on their website), so I have modified it to be an ACE and added the better cover.
#89 done. :)

It is showing under "Jim Power's Books" just under my Blog on my Author page.
The book that is not mine is called: "Picking Up the Pieces: Economic Crisis and Hope in Ireland, by Jim Power."
The other two books - The End of the Line and The Black Princess Mystery - are my novels.
It you could address this problem as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Jim Power

In future please start a new thread for such requests, as this thread is for deleting/merging editions, not for moving books to another profile.


Please link to the book that there is an issue with, as I can't see a loose edition of that book on the author's profile.

Found it, and combined it.

I'm the author of The Hollywood Survival Guide For Actors. It's been added once under me (the version with an ISBN listed and one 5 star review), and once under a different Kym Jackson who did not write the text.
Would love to remove it from the other author's profile and combine or delete the duplicate.
This is the duplicate to be deleted/merged:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
thank you! :)

For reference, you are Kym^^Jackson with two spaces between your first and last name. When books are imported or added by users who don't know how we separate authors with the same name, then they will automatically go to the default profile. This is what happened in this case.

Both have slightly different covers. Could it be possible that one is an ACE? (I know that I am finickity enough that I will add an ACE if my cover has even a minor difference to the standard cover)
