JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Delete me.

Wait, wait! I just accidentally combined two books. Give me a minute to fix it!

Okay, it's ready to be deleted now.

As is this one.


JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Please delete this one.

This one needs to be deleted and then re-combined.

Zing!

(Oddly enough, this is currently yielding phantom editions. I already told MICHAEL about it, but I think he had his hands full with other issues today.)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
pfft!


JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Got another one.

And this one.

Another one. It needs to be re-combined with Cruel and Unusual.

JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Found another one.

And another. This one needs to be re-combined with The Book Thief

One more

Jessica (jessicareading) | 69 comments Dave wrote: "Please delete this book: "Cloud Over Columbine: How the Press Got It Wrong and the Police Let It Happen." There are two editions listed--neither exist.

Yes, I not-a-booked both editions of Cloud Over Columbine. Dave, you should no longer see them in your list of published works, and they will not appear in searches unless someone searches by the exact ISBN.

Librarians, in these cases when it is clear that a book never made it to publication, I'll not-a-book it and add a librarian note, such as "Never published, per author."



message 168: by Red (new)

Red (redpimpernel) | 7 comments I have another question about books that were never published but are still listed with ISBNs and everything. Could/should they be Not a Booked? Since they weren't published, technically they are not a book.

I just got all excited about such a non-book, that didn't come out in 2007. Took me a day to track down a source verifying that it was never published.


message 169: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Red, Yes, That's what Jessica said in message 172 right above your message 173. We're to NAB never published books.


message 170: by Red (new)

Red (redpimpernel) | 7 comments Thanks Lisa & Jessica. I don't know how I missed that. I'm going back to Not-a-Book a few things now.


JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Delete this please.

And this one.

Please delete this one and recombine.

Please delete this one.

And this one. It's the most popular edition. I don't know if you need to know that.


message 172: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments JG, Got them all.

Often, it's important re the most popular edition but in this case deleting it combined it with the other paperback copy that did have the ISBNs so that was easy.


message 173: by [deleted user] (new)

please delete this
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

it's already combined with the correct one.
thanks

NAB, bogus ISBN, publisher does not match title, no adds


message 176: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments I changed it to Not a book. Since it had an ISBN number it would have simply come back if it were just deleted. (i tried it) I think it was a game.


message 177: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Rebekah,

Thanks.

I combined the editions and then deleted the duplicate that you added.

The search feature at Goodreads is not perfect. Goodreads is working on it to make it better. In the meantime, it helps if when you search you key in both title and author vs. just title or just author. Give as much information as you have re title & author. If you have the ISBN, use that as your search word.

Kathrynn | 187 comments Please delete this book. Thank you! ;-)

message 180: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments Please delete this one. Needs a super-L, it's a manual entry that got picked up by 68 others. Already combined in with true editions, so reviews will merge.

Thanks!


message 181: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Carolyn, Got it. Thanks for the prep.

the_cat | 388 comments Hi
Please delete this book
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
It keeps saying that it has too many reviews (0)
AFAIK it doesnt exist. Already added the real editions.


message 183: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments It has an ISBN number and a separate publisher listed. I combined it back with the other listings. Even if it is a non existing edition it needs to be combined before deleted. There is someone who has marked it "to read" and they would lose it from their to read shelf if it was deleted without combining.


message 184: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Well someone deleted it. I hope they got it after I combined and hope they checked out the ISBN


message 185: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
It does exist; it's just the same as this. So I merged it and added the ISBN-10 to the remaining edition.


message 186: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments Thanks guys.

Greyweather | 28 comments I found a duplicate entry that needs a super to delete it:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...

When the user created the entry they tried to put the ISBN 13 in the ISBN 10 field and here we are. I've matched it up with its true version.

Got it.

Kathrynn | 187 comments Please delete this book. Thanks!

DarkHeart "Vehngeance" (darkheart) | 35 comments I think this book can go, as it has no real data that isn't available in one of the other two editions:

message 199: by Glennis (new)

Glennis (missingvolume) | 5 comments The author would like this book deleted. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... The book was under contract but was never written and the publisher went out of business before it was written.
Here is the author's plea.

message 200: by Melody (last edited Sep 25, 2009 06:27AM) (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments I deleted it. - edit - or to be exact - I Not a Booked it. It has an ISBN - so it would just come back at some point. But it doesn't show up in the author's profile.
