Please delete the duplicate of The Guardian and recombine with the paperback - unfortunatelly the most popular edition is the one to delete (missing description, page #, ASIN, wrong publication date)Thank you very much :-)
Please merge this placeholder edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into the ISBN edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and recombine.

Both to be recombined with:

This edition of the book doesn't have any ISBN/edition info: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...I assume it should be merged with another edition?
Thanks!
*Edited to add: Hasn't been mentioned below, but somebody seems to have taken care of this. Thanks again!

Help! I had a pre-release placeholder edition for my book, and then another edition appeared upon publication. So, I combined them because the pre-release had a rating and To-Read entries. But, I'd really only like one Kindle edition. I can't seem to separate them now. Is it possible to merge them so the one with the ASIN number remains and still keep the rating and To-Read entries associated with the pre-release edition?
Can you please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I made a huge mistake. I need a copy of my book deleted but I cant seperate it from the other. My book is The Bloodline The Ancient Ones Chronicles by Barbara Hinesley. I need the version labeled ebook deleted. I had to add another edition just to update my cover so I'm not sure if that's right or not. I'm sorry. I'm a hot mess. Please forgive me and help if you can. I would be so grateful.

Re 787: Hi, I notice you asked the author if any ARCs had been sent out-she has responded elsewhere on this thread so I will put what was said here: "
787, awaiting response from author"
Author has verified there were no ARC's-please see her message no 794: "There was never a book written, so no ARC's were distributed."
Thanks

Re 787-One of the authors of this book has confirmed that no ARCs were ever sent out, there was never a book-see message 794 -"787, awaiting response from author"
There was never a book written, so no ARC's were distributed." Sorry, couldn't find my message and now it's appeared twice!
Please delete this botched book I created by accident:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
It is a duplicate of this accurate version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thx

Yesterday I merged several other strays with <5 reviews. For some reason those haven't gone through yet, but your merges of the bigger editions have.

I found one possible ACE where the cover doesn't match with ISBN-edition. Rest all can be merged I think. Will check tomorrow if your merges went through and if not, I can give another try :)

Merging has been very slow this week, even for books with only a few reviews.

Does the speed of merge depend on the type of user?

No. It depends on how many other merges or deletions are in process, and how many affected shelvings the work being merged has.

Please merge this placeholder edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... with the ISBN edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and retain the placeholder cover on the ISBN edition.
It is the same exact book. I'm not sure how they both got posted but it's a duplication of my book.Philip wrote: "Barbara wrote: "I made a huge mistake.

Could you at least delete the cover images for the books or allow me to submit new ones? I'm supposed to be a professional graphic designer and I don't want those pieces attached to my name anymore.
Invalid ISBN: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...Possibly a duplicate of this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

#838 Since the last digit of the isbn is different, I've messaged the librarian that added the book to ask for the complete isbn13.
Update: corrected the truncated isbn13 to 9781407116303.
These two need to be merged, but requires superlibrarian to separate/merge.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (good one)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (bad one)

The Fabulous Adventures of Olly Oogleberry: Mission to Save Earth
HOWEVER this book IS something I am in:

Start a new thread in this folder, and librarians can assist you with adding an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85.... As the author, you will have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile.

#845 - Done, but please post these requests to a generic thread or create a new one, because any librarian can move books to another profile, and this thread is just for Merging/Deleting.
There are two books; this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... and this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... Both are exactly the same but with different titles. Any one of them should be deleted. I'll mention the other title in the description. I am a new librarian so this is all very confusing.
