message 251: by Susan (new)

Susan Rainwater | 32 comments I was able to split off the two Kindle editions of "The Velvet Room," but unable to remove the duplicate because of the number of reviews.

The remaining Kindle book then needs to be merged back with the books, which I'd be happy to do once the duplicate problem is resolved.

The covers are different, one has Kindle Worlds on the cover. I don't know if these covers both should be kept.

Yes."

Thank you. I figured it might be, as it couldn't be deleted like the 'look inside' or 'kindle edition'.

Marked as an alternate cover edition, as the cover on the author's website without logo links to the same ASIN on Amazon.

It was published as a separate work. We don't delete those, but I did edit it for clarity.

But it was never published, so I'm confused.

It was available for download through Amazon, with its own ASIN. That is published by Goodreads standards.

I moved it from one to the other so that one entry was correct and the other could be deleted. I chose to correct the main entry rather than the one that had been added later as, to me, it made sense to keep the one with most shelvings. Now the entries are incorrect again.

There is only one ISBN for this volume - 9781892597588 - and there only ever will be one as these volumes are independently published.

The cover on the duplicate entry is the correct cover, the one on the main entry is incorrect. I have the book in question, so I know this to be true, but you can also see it on the publisher's website: http://www.rachel-rising.com/store/in... That is why the duplicate entry is there, because rather than correcting the main entry someone added a second with, what I assume is, a photo of their copy for the cover image.

Cover images for comics have to be submitted to Previews when they are solicited. Terry Moore often hasn't decided on final cover art by the time the solicits go out, and, therefore, the cover image for the solicited volume is a placeholder. The cover image on the main entry is not the final image. The final image is the lady in a white dress sitting in a skull.

If you revert everything that you reverted back to how I initially changed, and then delete the dupe, then it will all be correct. Thanks.

Arenda | 26447 comments #282 Merged one duplicate. The other had a different cover, which is the current Kindle cover. Updated with ASIN and format.
#283 the isbn is valid. Please start a new thread when corrections are needed.

That doesn't mean it's published. See above re: solicited images. If you ordered that you'd not get that cover, you'd get the white one. Because that's the only cover.

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments ISBN-13: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
ISBN-10: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Would prefer it if ISBN-10 edition is merged as this edition has low resolution cover. Since it is a GN, it need not be combined with any editions.

Thanks for the clarification; is there a way that I can "hide" it from my profile?

Arenda | 26447 comments #294 merged a duplicate ebook and a duplicate Kindle edition
#295 merged the series placeholder into volume 1 of the series

message 290: by Michael (new)

Michael Korleone (michaelkorleone) | 3881 comments Correct ISBN-13, incorrect ISBN-10:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
This edition has correct ISBN-10 corresponding to above:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

For some reason, a librarian changed the ISBN-10 value for the first edition which led to an auto-import (probably) adding the 2nd edition which is a duplicate.

Should be recombined with:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

They're both placeholders, and the publishers are the same (just one's the 'parent' publisher).

Publication is set for 2017, like the other placeholder indicates. (It was published on the author's website: http://www.jennbennett.net/archives/3597).

(It wouldn't let me separate them out for some reason. Sorry!).
