Moved your book to a new author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
To claim the profile, you can follow this link: https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

Please start a new thread for moving books to another profile, as these didn't need to be deleted and any librarian can move books.
For other questions, also please start a new thread.

Stacy Clark (dallaswriter) | 8 comments My book, "When the Wind Blows," is showing up on another author's page - she is also named Stacy Clark. I need the book back on my profile, but I can't find the link that I need to do that. Can anyone advise me who can help me get my book back on my profile? Thanks so much! Stacy in Dallas

Done in the other thread.
Please don't post the same request more than once.

Hossein Mesforush | 114 comments Please merge these entries:

These 2 are duplicates:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I couldn't separate those editions before posting here, since one of them is the main edition.

Thanks.

Arenda | 26447 comments #870 reverted the cover change and the move of the isbn as both are against GR policy. Covers are not identical, no merge.

Sheila Kell (sheilakellbooks) | 31 comments #862 - Thank you for merging the copies of my books. It has been more than 24 hours. I lost one 5-star text review in the process on HIS Desire https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and one 5-star rating on HIS Choice https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... You said it would take time for the reviews to follow. Any chance of them surfacing after this long?


message 868: by Julie (new)

Julie Ehlers (julieehlers) | 12 comments Hi, all. I'm wondering if this "book" should be deleted:

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

As you can see, the author herself has posted in the "questions" area indicating that this was just a suggested title for one of her books, not an actual book itself. What's more, the ISBN-10 listed is for a different book altogether (an Amanda Knox bio by a completely different author).

Sandy (Bookend My Life) (bookendmylife) | 16 comments All of these are the same edition of Quiet by Susan Cain. The first contains the ISBN, the rest have no ISBN info. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Can a super delete the ones that don't have the ISBN info and then combine the remaining one with the main listing for this book as below? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Thanks!


message 872: by [deleted user] (new)

I have this one which is under the pen name:

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

And then there's this duplicate added more recently under the real name:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

(The cover page on the original also needs fixing to reflect the pen name too...)

Thank you:)

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 102 comments Plese delete the duplicate of Summer Heat - Love on Fire and recombine with the paperback. The edition with the ASIN is missing one of the authors (only 15 instead of 16) the other one seems complete.
I'll deal with the paperback and the series links sometime later.

Thank you very much!

Melissa (yabookshelf) | 14 comments #843: The book is NOT being published by S&S, so the ISBNs don't apply. PLEASE Delete the hardcover edition and please merge the paperback editions.

Sandy (Bookend My Life) (bookendmylife) | 16 comments #884 - someone recombined the editions without deleting the duplicates first.

Some pages can take up to 72 hours to update.
If you think there still is an issue with the reviews, please contact Goodreads Support as librarians can't help with that.

#884/892 Merged one edition. One of the editions was already marked as an alternate cover edition. The cover of the other edition also seems to be more than just a scanning issue.

#885 combined ebook and Kindle. For other issues, please start a new thread.

#886 done.
Please separate both editions that need merging, or at least add a link to both editions.

#887 according to the publisher there is also an ebook edition. Added ebook format. When there is an isbn it can be added to that edition.

#889 done
#890 done
#891 done

Sandy (Bookend My Life) (bookendmylife) | 16 comments #884/891 - what is the other issue besides a poorly scanned cover for this entry? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... Just wanting to learn more so I can recognise things as being an issue or not for the future. Thanks


message 883: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2197 comments 895 - Just wanted to comment that, to me, it looks like the cover for that edition is a photograph someone took and not a scan. Bad lighting would account for the color difference.

Different covers will not be merged. Sometimes a difference can be very subtle. Sometimes it is just a case of bad scanning, although both editions of this book seemed more of a difference than just bad scanning to me. When I went to the edit page of the more orange cover, there was a librarian note that said it was an alternate cover, so someone else agreed with me and also didn't see that one as bad scanning.
Sometimes it is difficult to determine if it is bad scanning or a different cover. When in doubt, I personally tend to not merge them. Once they are merged, it can't be undone, and the other cover is gone.

901: Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85.... One was already added for your book.


message 890: by Vera (new)

Vera | 2 comments Hi, looks like this should be deleted as it's the wrong title

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

Correct title 'Nine years among the Indians" is already listed.

Cheers, Vera


message 891: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #903 Corrected the title according to cover and combined with the other editions. No deleting.

Melissa (yabookshelf) | 14 comments #887: How come there are now 3 paperback editions and the hardcover is STILL there?!?

Please remove the hardcover as there will not be a hardcover. Please merge the paperback versions to the one that says the book is releasing in January.
