In what sense? It won't make the books disappear, but they will stop coming up in searches.

In the sense that I thought I learned from this thread that what I did with the mentioned books is not sufficient, as I only put not a book as author. I thought there is more to be done and what I did is wrong. Is it the other way around? Maybe I just got confused.

There are at least two ways to NAB a book, and that is one of them.

If you want to do the more thorough method, it is outlined here: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/1...

Redangel333 | 275 comments That help text was exactly why I posted in this thread, I thought because the books were shelved, that I did something wrong. Therefore I posted them here for someone more experienced to take care of it.

Redangel333 | 275 comments Not sure if this classifies for being NAB https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 260: by Redangel333 (new)

Redangel333 | 275 comments This is a catalogue of hotels, not sure if this needs to be NAB or deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments these are probably "not a book" I assume? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (deletion needed I assume?)

message 279: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #270/276 - It is a Book, not sure if it comes with a DVD, but definitely a book, especially if you read the reviews and there is a Kindle edition on top of it.


message 280: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments that seems more like a DVD than a book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
am I correct?


message 281: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments and do we nab these? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
It's a DVD but ...from a book ...do we consider that as kind of ... audiobook on another medium?

»  Memes 2017 - I'm asking Staff for a ruling on this one
»  Gratitude Journals 2017 through Gym Diary 2017 - NABbed
»  2015 Calendars - NABbed
»  Sweet!art - These journals have content, according to the Amazon listings I checked. The listings need work; I fixed Best Daughter Ever: Sketchbook with Introductory Art Instruction and Tips, using the title as shown on the cover along with a brief subtitle, deleting all the extraneous "authors," and cutting the promo material.
»  and from time to time I see an entry with not a book in the title... I'm working on those now. For the example you gave, the ones I've looked at so far are records that were partially NABbed. I am reverting some of those attempted NABs. I'd suggest either flagging or requesting a review here as you run across them. Each has to be reviewed to determine the correct action to take.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments #285/288/289 - Memes 2017
Staff ruling on this is that they are published works and as such need to remain. I will be merging the author "Memes 2017" into the author Memes, per staff suggestion. Before I do that, though, I'll clean up the records on the Memes 2017 book list.


message 291: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments is that considered as a book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
according to worldcat it's more "cardboard pages with pressouts"
http://www.worldcat.org/title/star-wa...

and this is probably more not a book I'd say

message 292: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments that seems to be 2 card decks vs 1 eventual book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 293: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (last edited Oct 25, 2017 12:57AM) (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments that sounds like just a card deck? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
edit: although the german edition sounds like it has got a little guide book too
