#102 reverted the ASIN-removal (by an Amazon bot) and marked the newly created Kindle edition with that ASIN as ACE.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and recombine.

While I was initially able to generate an ISBN10 for this ISBN, the ISBN13 initially given actually leads to a used copy on Amazon with an ASIN and a different ISBN10, so have separated for merging?

Michele Faison (michele_faison) | 8 comments Please accept my apologies in advance if I am posting to the wrong thread. I have a book listed (Title: Rapture) that has not yet been published. Because I expect the project to take much longer than expected I was hoping to have it deleted from my page. Is this possible?

I believe usually a publication date is added that is quite some time in the future (2018 for example).
When it would be deleted, users that are expecting it might add it again.

Leigh Stone (booksandhooks) | 46 comments Hi, I'm the author of this book.

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

I no longer intend to write it (it has never been written, never mind published) can you please delete it?

Thank you!

Angela Johnson (angelaajohnson) | 4 comments Hello. There is a book credited to me on my author page that I did not write. Can you please remove it? I am Angela A. Johnson from Tinton Falls, NJ who wrote Toxicitiy. I did not write the book about cooking meat. Can you please delete the meat cook book?

Thank you.

Moved book to a new author profile. Another time please post in a new thread; this one is for deleting books from Goodreads altogether. Thanks.

If you're able to update the cover at the same time, this is a link to my author site: http://jjgreenauthor.com/?mbdb_book=m...
Thank you!

Please start new threads if you need help with this, as said in message 1 of this thread:
NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 102 comments Please delete the duplicate of The Icarus Prediction by R.D. Gupta and re-combine it with the paperback and the other Kindle. Unfortunately it's the most popular edition (incorrect publication date and page #, no ASIN).

In case you need the original data: https://www.amazon.com/Icarus-Predict...

Thank you :-)


message 132: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #135 No duplicate. Covers are different ("a novel" at the bottom of the cover) and it was already marked as alternate cover edition (at the bottom of the description). I've also added a librarian note and recombined.

Thanks, missed this detail.

Mary Nickum | 3 comments Why is it difficult to delete a title from my bookshelves? One of our (Saguaro Books, LLC) titles (The Cemetery Sleeper) is now out of print and unavailable. I could not find help for this through searching your answers.
Thanks,
Mary Nickum

Though now owned by Amazon, Goodreads is not a sales site, but more of a library site. It originated and is still meant for people to shelve the books they read, which is why it doesn't matter if a book is currently available or not.

If you are talking about your personal reading shelves, you can delete any book you like.

Mary Nickum | 3 comments I would be more than happy to have the super-librarians take this request. How do I contact them?


message 142: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments #144-145 This is the thread for superlibrarians. They will tell you the same as Abcdarian did in msg #139: no-longer-available books are not removed from the database.
