The most popular edition needs to be deleted. It appears that someone tried to put the ISBN-13 in the ISBN-10 slot. The erroneous ISBN-10 matches the first 10 digits..."


The problem is that there isn't another edition that's showing that cover art -- the next one down is slightly different. Have you found any information about the covers?

vicki_girl | 2764 comments The only place I found the image on the web was on a couple of review blogs. This blog uses the image but has the ISBN-13 of the second most popular edition. I am thinking of two scenarios here:

1) this is the cover of the arc, and needs to be listed as an alternate cover edition.
2) Someone (either the referenced blogger or someone else) added a fancy border around the image to make it look nicer.

I believe the second is more likely. I searched through ~25 pages of image results and (other than goodreads) that image only appears ~4 times, on two blogs and a couple of facebook pages. Also, none of the editions of the other books in the series have a similar border. And finally, the image was uploaded in 2008, six months before the book came out.

Even if it is a legitmate alternate cover, the ISBN given is still not a valid ISBN-10.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments That sounds convincing to me, vicki_girl. I'll keep a copy of that alternate cover saved in case someone requests it, but I'll merge the edition down now.

Needs a super user. (Description contains a review of the series by a reader). This is not an actual book. Thanks.

Done.

I may have more - this person joined and is creating listings instead of using the ones we have. Not many books but the authors names aren't full so I have to go looking....


message 958: by Eva-Marie (new)

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments This isn't a delete but I didn't see where to put it and it's dealing with the same member. This author page needs to be combined with Kelly Corrigan and she's a GR author - I can't do it.

Yes. Gone.

Someone else must have already fixed the profile from 972.


message 961: by Eva-Marie (new)

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments Thanks rivka - someone did get that and I fixed all the others. I also sent her a message telling her an easier way to add the books she needs. Thanks again!


message 962: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Need a super to delete. It is a placeholder for a new release, but the entry with the ISBN is now in. I've already combined it. Thanks! (Might want to double check that the description is in the ISBN entry, I forgot to check)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Jessica, I got it. Copied the description just in case, but the ISBN edition already had it.


message 964: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Thanks Lisa!

Jessica | 963 comments This one needs a super:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26...

A google search (after fixing Micheal to Michael) tells me this book is just a short story published in a children's textbook.

This is a serial adder, which I'm working on. I'll let you guys know when I give up (to prevent any wonkiness when multiple librarians attack, LOL)


message 966: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments And the same looks like for every book by this "author"

message 969: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments ARGH! This one too:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26...
the scary thing is I found this adder when I saw five editions of one book with no info, except the pub date (which was wrong, I did find an edition on amazon that hadn't been imported). But the adder hadn't listed any of those editions on their shelf. So for all I know, they could have added a gajillion more..


message 970: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments OK I officially give up. I went to the next author, which looks like the same kind of thing as before. Which means I can't do much. So I officially pass on the task to a super. Here's the adder's bookshelf (she has a lot listed on to read as well, FYI):

What's a "Pfoo"? I've never heard that one before.

It has a cover but that cover matches the paperback version with the ISBN, and page numbers match. Also, it's almost the same pub date.

Jessica | 963 comments I can't find existence of this book anywhere. Any assistance appreciated :)

message 991: by Ralph Gallagher (new)

Ralph Gallagher | 200 comments I'm not finding anything either.


message 992: by vicki_girl (last edited Feb 18, 2010 05:54PM) (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Well, I found a book on Google books that seems to include it in its bibliography here.

I'll see if I can find anything else...


message 993: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Nice work! I guess it does exist!


message 994: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Well, I can't find anything else, but I agree we should keep it.


message 995: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Me too. I cleaned it up with the info you gave. Thanks for your help :)


message 996: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl Did Hemingway also write a book called "Immoveable Feast"??

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

I haven't changed the entry, or combined it with Moveable Feast, just in case there is such a book....


message 997: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments According to Wikipedia, no he didn't.


message 998: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Please delete the following "book". Thanks
