Can you delete this one http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...?It's already combined with the proper one with an isbn and a cover...
Ok so what do we do if before the big B&N add ebooks were added to the system without ISBNs, but now their ISBN counterparts are up? This wouldn't count Kindle editions, since those are very specific, but as for the ones uploaded by B&N, they are using the generic ISBN for those ebook editions.Should they be deleted then? If you need an example check it out here:

I'd say yes, delete those editions, as long as there's an identical edition with more information, which is the case with this book. Edit: Oh, and as long as you make sure to combine the editions that belong together before deleting. This one is ready to go.

Re the discussion of B&N & ISBNs above, are you referring to those ISBNs starting with 29.....?
If so I've seen quite a lot of them this week and would love to get rid of them.
Got it.
Actually, we're talking about deleting the ebook listings with no ISBN in favor of the ones with them. ;)

OK, but what are those ones starting with 29.. and a lot of 000s in the middle(13 ISBNs)? They were ebooks too, I'm pretty sure. They just don't look like PROPER ISBNs.and Thanks, Rivka.

They're not. Nonetheless, they'll presumably reimport if deleted, and an ISBN that's in current use seems to be better than none.

Rivka, I've come across them when inputting the correct ISBN. So we have 2 editions ? for the same ebook but the only difference is the weird ISBN. I haven't deleted them or anything, just combined.
Well, when there's a real ISBN I have sometimes experimented with deleting those editions and seeing if they reimport, which is variable. But I don't necessarily recommend trying this at home. ;)
Well if we decide to do something at a later stage some will be in my ebook shelf so relatively easy to find. I'd like to know where they are coming from and deliver a good swift kick if appropriate. :-)
Please delete these 2 duplicates I created by mistake (computer playing up)http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...

Thanks
Lobstergirl, No, it's not. I either message the person (since it's just one in this case) or I combine it with a/the most popular work by that author and delete it. I think some simply delete.
Actually, it was more than one. I'm in the "just delete" camp. The guidelines when creating a book are pretty clear.
This needs to be deleted:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
Also, a super might want to check out her books. Her profile is set to private but there was another book by this author I deleted, so there might be more.
This one also needs to be deleted. It looks like the user tried adding the ISBN but got the error message. I checked and there is an edition with the same (minus the dot) ISBN.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...
Please delete this listing with no info, I've already combined it.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...
Thanks Rivka.Please delete the following which I created by mistake:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...
Need a super to delete this user's entries:http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/23...
I didn't want to combine them since there's really nothing to combine them to (except for one entry, which I got).
*pounds head on desk*
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51...Sorry, I just deleted my post asking about this, but I'm confused. I assume this should be combined with the anthology and deleted?
Computer still playing up occasionally, please delete this duplicate I created by mistake.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...
