Please delete this book! (pt. 25) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
#204: You could not delete it as it has more than 5 adds, which is why you require a super to do it. It has been done - merged into the most popular edition. :)
ThanksSame issue here:
This one needs to be removed as it has no ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Should merge with this one (with an ISBN)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
There may be a few more of these!
And againHere (no ISBN) - to delete
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Merge with here (ISBN present)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
#206 done.With #207, they have slightly different covers (one is blue, one is grey). Since I cannot find another English edition with the grey cover, I assume it is therefore an ACE or a completely different edition where someone hasn't yet added the ISBN. I will assume at this stage that it's an ACE, as a Google search has shown the ISBN you gave to have that as a matching cover. I have therefore updated the edition to reflect this.
One more herewithout ISBN

What doe ACE mean?
#209 queued into main edition (also Norton Critical), but please could you note that in future, thanks :)

And another one. I'm not sure why someone has been creating multiple versions of the same book without making them unique with the ISBN number? I cannot find different ISBN's for English paperback copies of any of these: it does seem oddTwo without an ISBN - here

#210 & #213 done. It's not unusual for multiple versions to be created. Sometimes they're found individually, tidied up and combined over time. People don't always realise that they can select the existing edition.Also, for reference, ACE means alternate-cover edition. :)

Thanks again

Has an appropriate ISBN, combined with other editions
Re 218. This is actually a valid edition, but I've combined it and cleaned up some other editions.

And thanks Paula for #186 :)

S.J., the first 2 books have valid ISBNs and are in fact the ebooks listed at Smashwords. I've tidied up all your books so people can now find them whichever site they wish to purchase them from.
Please, could you delete these two books. Someone added them but they're already on my author's page.Thanks!

Here is one more without the ISBN

#236-8 done. I know that the Amazon import pays attention to record changes, but I'm not sure how it handles merges. It probably added that because the title was different, but can't swap out the ISBN anymore like it used to do with records (the import has some ability to update records as well as add them). Hopefully it will see the merge and not add again... Hopefully... But I won't report it, because it happened before the most recent updates to the import.
Would u move this book off my page please as it's appeared there in error & i'm not its author !!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This is the wrong thread for such requests, as this is for deleting/merging book duplicates, not for removing books from profiles.
It looks like you were added as a translator, but I can't confirm via anywhere who the actual translator should be (Worldcat has no record of the book in Arabic it seems). So I have moved the book to a disambiguated profile for now.

Which book is this a duplicate of?
We do not just delete random editions without reason. If this is a duplicate then we need to know which edition it needs to be merged into.

I cannot find any other English paperback versions of this book that has a different ISBN, but I cannot delete the book without an ISBN as I'm not a super librarian. Can someone who is take a look at this and determine whether the book without an ISBN can be deleted?
