H.P. Wood (hpwood) | 8 comments Hi there. I hope I am posting the right place! I am a new Goodreads Author but I didn't write one of the books that has been assigned to me. This book isn't mine: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
That was written by some other HP Wood, not me. Thanks for any suggestions or help!

I changed the edition-to-be-merged-to's pages to '175' judging by the worldcat.org record, but looking at the change log now people don't agree.

Liwen | 34 comments Would you please delete this print edition of my book because I am unable to combine it with the Kindle version because the author names are slightly different. Thank you!

G.J. Brown (gjbrown) | 7 comments Hello there. My name is G. J. Brown and I recently had an author page created. The only problem is that some books are showing up and they aren't mine. I wrote Hidden In A Hawaiian Sunset and The Hills Of Tuscany. I did NOT write Stupefying Stories: March 2015 and Bastion Science Fiction Magazine: Issue 2, May 2014. So if they could be removed, then that would be great. I couldn't find a way to remove them, even though I'm a Goodreads Author. My page is here:

Dawn (authorddoyle) | 26 comments Hi. This book The Hip Hope Dancer has been added to my works. It's not mine. Could you please delete it, or change the author name to the correct one?
Thank you.

Kent | 24 comments Edit: never mind. Was able to combine by editing the author. Aplologies.
Can't correct invalid editions. Goodreads Author's correct name is attached to edition with incorrect ISBN10, while a variation on the author's name is attached to an edition with the correct ISBN13. So can't edit the incorrect author to correct as correct author is on goodreads, Can't put correct ISBN on the author's version, and can't combine to delete as they have different authors listed

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... are the same book

You should not fool around with ISBN numbers of Giveaway books, that can hose things up. Also, I have not fixed it yet, but you set it to the ISBN of the ebook not the paperback edition. Will not change till after the giveaway ends.


message 367: by Kent (new)

Kent | 24 comments Sorry, is there some way to easily identify giveaway books? when I searched for the title to add to the shelf, it suggested the edition with the correct ISBN and incorrect author which was not tied to the author's profile.

i wish you would. I plan to finish the book and release it in the traditional form and these threes chapters will muddy it. they don't add up to anything and are, in themselves incomplete. Not actually books or even short stories, just three chapters broken into three isolated sets.

Alex Hammond | 6 comments HI there,

I have been incorrectly attributed as a writer for the following book:

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

I suspect the author shares my name.

If you could remove from my author profile, that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance,

Alex Hammond

This is the polish edition of this collection of japanese short stories:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
(another author should be added, I think - Masuji Ibuse)
(Polish translator - Mikołaj Melanowicz)
also, "The Catch and Other War Stories" is a second (or later) edition of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

look here: http://www.biblio.com/book/shadow-sun...

Somebody decided to combine the editions before the merge finished, so I think it confused things a little.

message 384: by Carlene (new)

Carlene Havel (chch) | 12 comments Please delete the duplicate of "Dried Flowers" by Carlene Havel, ASIN B016VQIQT8. The good version has the cover properly displayed. The bad version has a generic cover image, and this is the one to be deleted. FYI, this is my fault. I mistakenly created the duplicate thinking G'reads did not pick up the Amazon publication. Then both showed up. Thank you for your help.
