Please delete this book! (pt. 35) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
Hi there,I notice that my novel Something in the Water is now entered twice under my profile...
Please could someone delete the SECOND entry ie the one that was added on Jan 23rd (perhaps it was an automated entry from Amazon(?) ) at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... ?
Note: Please do NOT delete the nice first entry - as this one has several reviews already attached to it!
(I entered Something in the Water myself in the "Your Books" category under my profile back in October 2015 (after I put it up on Amazon for pre-order).
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
With kind regards from,
Ben

All set; the 2 entries were merged, keeping your reviews. There were 2 separate entries because the one that you created was assigned an ISBN (and an invalid one), which is incorrect for a Kindle edition. Kindle editions need the ASIN assigned to it. That's why it was possible to add a duplicate.

Yeah I started 298, I see you finished it by combining.

I think this edition:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
is a duplicate of this edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
... with a wrong ISBN-10, starting with 978… like a ISBN-13.
#302, 304, 305 have been done by someone#303 titles are different. Author has changed the title on one edition. Left for now (also flagged for isbn removal).
#306 I can't confirm that cover belongs to that isbn hardcover edition. Publisher doesn't have a cover yet. Google has two different covers.
#307 done
#308 done
#309 done
#310 done
#316 done. Also created a new alternate cover edition as Amazon has a different cover. Crosslinked the ACE on the original edition.

#322 moved the book from your profile.Please start a new thread next time, as this one is for deleting duplicate editions. Any librarian can move a book from an author page, no superlibrarian needed.
Please delete/merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...3 Large Print editions, 1 appears to be a stray. The other 2 have the same ISBNs; each has an empty ISBN field (one is missing ISBN 10, the other ISBN 13), and those editions need to be merged as they are the same.
#330 [Hardcover, Crown, 2015] looks like a duplicate for the default edition. Merged without needing to separate.
These 2 books appear to be the same, except for the ISBNs:1 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
2 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
When I search ISBN for #2 on WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/to-the...), it lists a completely different title in the series . Amazon search on that ISBN links to used copies from 3rd party sellers, and cover shown doesn't match title shown, which is probably where the mistake came from.
Is this reliable enough to warrant changing it, or no?
#332 Looks like ISBN 9780739461136 belongs to To the Brink which is #3 of the series but Amazon page lists it as To the Limit (Bodyguards #2) despite the cover (added much later on GR) clearly not matching the title. It should probably be separated from the current listing and added to Bodyguards #3 with correct cover (both WorldCat and Amazon at least agree on the cover).

Is that something that should be done by a super-librarian, or is it ok for me to fix?

I am the publisher of this book and we ended up cancelling the contract for it, so the book does not exist.
Thank you

I can't tell if that's real or not. It says 'Complete Indondesian edition'. Is it possible this was published in omnibus format?
This bookhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
should be joined with this edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks!
This is not a single release:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
only part of this anthology:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Please merge these two books:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks!

Again, my separate tool is acting up. Sorry if there's a tonne of weird librarian changes for this one.
