Individual comics without ISBN, I have no valid target for merge.

Items without an ISBN or ASIN have no need to be NAB'd. This thread is not the place for them, regardless of what you may have been told.

Very well, so where should I place this request?

If there's any collated volume, then the Merge/Delete thread would be best. In fact, that thread anyway per discussion with Rivka - I'd still leave it for Staff to delete, but that's the most appropriate thread. (To differentiate the threads, NAB is to stop importing and Merge/Delete is to remove a record)

There is no collated volume I am aware of. If there was, of course I'd post it on the Merge/Delete therad, like I did in the 100s of other cases I posted there. In fact, I did post it there even in this case and was sent here. So this is not the right place, and the merge/delete thread is not the right place. What IS the right place?


message 159: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Technically it's for Merge/Delete per a Rivka comment BUT most of us Supers won't touch it and will leave it to staff. I would therefore advise a new thread clearly marked up where you can list all the similar ones you come across. I think this would be best as you seem to be doing a major project with these so I doubt this is the last one you're going to have! :)

NAB pending.


message 163: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments NAB?

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

"Each book of labels includes:
Closed tri-fold package measures 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 x 1/4"
80 decorative peel-off labels
8 images on two sizes of labels
40 rectangular labels measure 1-1/2 x 3-5/8" each
40 labels are each approximately 1-1/2"square"

Can't see any evidence of any text.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments This is a diary/journal, and from what I can see doesn't have any content except diary pages, graph pages, and some illustrations- NAB? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments #169 - done; WorldCat confirms that this is a DVD

#170 - I dunno. According to the description on Amazon: Pest and disease prevention, plant propagation, zone map, weights and measures and conversion tables are included.

I'm bumping this up to Rivka.

#170 You're right, I missed that in the description. That may make it allowable- thanks for looking!

The Look Inside feature for the other edition of that work shows that it actually has a fair bit of content.


message 174: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2197 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

From what I can tell, it's a display with 340 books. NAB?

By all means, go ahead. I'm always iffy on how to NAB.


message 177: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments are the journals mentioned here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... books or journal enough to nab (on the wrong and correct profile)?

Looks like someone else did so already.

message 183: by Cassandra (last edited Jun 08, 2017 06:42AM) (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Both are DVDs although one is listed in pbk format- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... The description for the "pbk edition" reads that the participant's guide is sold separately, and when searched on Amazon, the one marked as DVD leads to a new DVD listing; "pbk" ISBN is a used copy of the DVD for sale marked as a pbk.


message 184: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Merged it with the print versions (because of the review) and am in the process of marking it NAB

The first one, Simplify DVD Experience, has this listing on the publisher site, https://www.hodder.co.uk/books/detail... :
This is a DVD based on Bill Hybels' groundbreaking book, Simplify. The book and participant's guide are available separately.
The number entered as ISBN 10 for the second listing, 1414391242, is Amazon's ASIN number for a third-party vendor listing.

Both NABbed.

Thanks, Cassandra. Great research. :-)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments These two (VHS and DVD) both have numerous shelvings and need to be merged into tho default:

VHS - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
DVD - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I made placeholder NAB versions following the merge for both here (ISBNs are noted in the librarian's note):
VHS - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
DVD - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Dunno if that made things more of a pain or not! Sorry if so :)


message 188: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Another one with a lot of shelvings:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And its placeholder NAB: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 189: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments This one too (437 shelvings!). It had originally been added with Sean Penn as the author, and worldcat says it's a DVD. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

Placeholder NAB: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 190: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments And another. Please merge!: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (DVD)

Placeholder NAB: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Got 187 complete
188 complete
189 complete
190 complete


message 192: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Sorry, one more, and I may have overcomplicated this one as well.

Please merge (the DVD with the movie tie-in edition of the book): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

And then recombine that with the original: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And the placeholder NAB is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I think you did a pretty thorough job of it Jenny.


message 194: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Thanks for cleaning these up! I keep making the mistake of clicking on actors and directors after finding the first NAB. It's endless!

This is the last one for today, I promise:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

I don't know what to do with them because they're VHS and DVD movies and have 5 shelvings each, but I have no idea what they'd need to be merged with :(
