I've had that happen before, where at least part of the title was in parenthesis (thinking of DEAD(ish) by Naomi Kramer). My solution was to put it in brackets instead (ie, DEAD[ish:]). Not perfect, but it does the job.Thanks for the catch, Cait.
I can't find anything about it online -- it's not a very Googleable title! -- but there was a Hornswoggle (not Hornswaggle) Press doing poetry chapbooking at about that time, it seems....
Cait wrote: "you don't need to be a super to merge authors (not delete them)"Sorry, I was thinking merge as in quizzes which does need supers. Great name though.
a super is needed to delete this 'edition' of in cold blood, no isbn, no year, no nothing... it seems completely empty but still 7 people chose it...http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...
Can a super delete this book? Looks like a spammer got through the grid.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
I'm not sure what to do with these:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
This is just one, I saw a few more books for this author that were added with covers but no ISBNs. I'm guessing added by the same user. I don't see what is different with the existing issues. But maybe I am missing something??
Oh man, looks like they did this with a ton of books, saying that they were "reissued." See shelf:http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

Some of them may be alternate cover editions, but that's going to need a thorough review. :(

Oh boy. From what I saw of the covers, they weren't anything different, although since she didn't put an ISBN, you can't tell. Did anyone send her a message? I hate doing that.
Mod
I went through about 30. 2 had unique covers; 2 had better images of existing covers (that I moved over before deleting her entry).
Paula, got yours.
Ricka, I'll leave you to it. I tried but my netbook is going way too slow for that tonight.
Thanks, pretty sure this one too (matches the most popular hardcover edition, I think this could have been a placeholder):http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41...
Aaaannd this one. Author was in as "Plume" instead of "Plum." I fixed and combined, but 73 people were lead astray.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38...
I'm like a broken record! This one too:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37...
I love users who shelve bad editions, makes them so much easier to find...
Mod
Edit: See? ;)
Cait, you must be bored. I bet you'd love to figure out what the heck this entry is:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61...
Also not sure what to do with this one:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76...
(got a few more coming, working on a super fun adder)
A google search shows there's a website about this, but I don't see a book:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
OK, I swear I'm done (at least for a few minutes).This one needs deletion, but I'm not sure how to combine it:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76...
This, well, you'll see:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76...
This needs to be combined and deleted, the Ludlum combine page wouldn't load for me:

You're so thoughtful! I believe I've sorted that out out, but it's the last for me tonight -- I'll share the rest from messages 1203-1205 with some other lucky librarian. :)
Needs a super to delete please. Edition exists with correct ISBN/Publisher with coverhttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...
Message 1203 - I m going to leave for a super to decide - personally Id just delete but.........
Message 1204Found the website Jessica mentions - there is a link to buy the book there. There is no ISBN listed - I have updated the link with the available information and cover.
Message 1205 - got 1 and 3 - not sure about 2

At a guess, that's this series, although where the "M" in the author slot comes from I don't know. I'll merge it into one of the books in the series (they aren't in order, so there's no first book to take the merges).
I assume it's the one written by Marni
