For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread.

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Jeffrey Buller | 18 comments Please delete Mastering Microsoft Virtualization from my listings. It's by a different Jeffrey L. Buller. (That's his only book.) But it keeps getting included on my list.

lethe | 16359 comments With you being the first poster in the new thread I really would have hoped you had read rivka's note in the first message...

Moved the book to a new profile 'Jeff Buller', as that is the name appearing on the cover.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (should be hardcover, not paperback)

Both are the same; however, one has ISBN and the other ISBN13.

message 9: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Bryn (rebeccabryn) | 10 comments Not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this. I have uploaded a new version of WHERE HOPE DARES.(publication of the older versions were cancelled) I now have three versions on my page. Is it possible to have the two older ones deleted? The correct version has the sub-title beginning: Two young lovers
I think I need a super librarian! Thanks.

Arenda | 26447 comments #6 not done yet. Covers are not identical. Moved the isbn13 to the matching isbn10 edition (which was first on Goodreads), marked the other edition as an ACE and changed paperback to hardcover (checked with publishers website).
#8 done
#9 Goodreads does not delete editions that are out of print or otherwise unavailable. All three edition are combined now. As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

Arenda | 26447 comments #7 done (NAB'd).


message 12: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #12 All have valid isbn's or ASIN's. No deleting. There may be some combining needed, although looking at the page counts I am not sure if all should be combined.

Leaving the combining for someone else.


message 13: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #14 that is an ebook edition according to the publisher. The isbn was truncated. Added the correct isbn from the publisher. No merge/deleting needed as both are valid editions.

Lobstergirl This was never dealt with in the previous thread.

This book apparently does not exist (see question mid-page). Please merge into one of the omnibuses, for example

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Ross Williamson (rosspoet) | 2 comments Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The author's name is Thomas Marra, not Marra Thomas - this book already exists under the correct author name.

message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi Librarians of GoodReads :)
I would like very much to delete a book from my list:

The Face of the Wraith

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

This is a book I had the idea of publishing - but that's not gonna happen... at least for some years...

I learned I should not hurry to add "to be published" books without having a draft or so... :P

Many thanks in advance!!! Cheers!


message 34: by Michael (new)

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments #26 Arenda, I think the question that is being referred to is this -

Recent Questions

Well, I've got this book since years and I don't know where to put it in the Septimus collection. It is not anyone of Septimus' books. (?)

Arenda | 26447 comments #29 covers are not identical
#30 I can't find that it is based on a book. The NAB-instructions don't mention items that have been shelved and can't be merged into a book.
#31 Goodreads does not delete books that are no longer available.
#33 done
#34 done
#36 done


message 37: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #17 the cover belongs to the Spanish hardcover edition for book 1 in the series. Updated to mark as ACE: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

message 44: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Gifford (sfwp) | 4 comments Hello --

I hope I understand how to do this correctly! I'm Pagan Kennedy's publisher and trying to combine duplicate books in her catalog, but the option doesn't work for us. First up is Zine. We have two entries:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Next up is Inventology. There are three entries for this:

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

Thanks!


message 45: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #45 combined.

You have to be a Goodreads Librarian or Goodreads Author to combine editions.
Please start a new thread next time, or use a thread that is for combining books. This one is for deleting duplicate editions.


message 46: by Moloch (last edited Oct 27, 2015 08:07AM) (new)

Moloch | 3975 comments This record is wrong, an ebook edition by that publisher doesn't exist (notice also that the cover is for an edition by another publisher, Mondadori), so I just separated together with the most popular ebook edition in Italian
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

thanks

Thank you! Wasn't sure what was best... I saw this as deleting duplicates, but then I see all sorts of language (combine, merge, etc) across the forums...


message 49: by Dee (new)

Dee (deinonychus) | 16 comments These two are duplicates and one should be deleted, and then merged with the other editions: Les Essais

Thankyou

Jeff (jsteiner) | 1 comments https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

The two books in the link above are duplicates. One has the ISBN and the other has the ISBN-13. Please delete this one (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) and, if possible, update the other one with the ISBN-13 number.
