For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in 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.

Kathie Giorgio | 1 comments Accidentally duplicated a book - I have a new book being released in June. Went to add it to my page, didn't realize publisher already did so. Now there's two listings - one with an ISBN - the publisher's listing, and one without an ISBN - mine by mistake. How do I remove it?


message 15: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #15 Next time please provide the title of the book, or add a link to the book. Assuming you are speaking of "Oddities and Endings", I've merged it.


message 17: by Agnieszka (new)

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 102 comments Please delete the duplicate of Rescuing Vanessa (A Little Bit of Coffee, Flowers, and Romance) by Christina Li and recombine with the paperback.

Thank you very much :-)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #22 - In Queue Done.

Not sure what to re-combine with, because the only other book called glass is a short story, and this one was a full novel.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #23 - Going to leave alone. Reverted one of many bad cover changes on the default edition. Covers no longer match.

Ugh, that was a mistake on my part, I think I get so used to writing recombine...this title had only 1 edition. Sorry!

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... and recombine

EDIT: In looking at the edition to be merged with, the ISBN13 doesn't seems to be invalid and doesn't match the ISBN10; it looks like this editionhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... originally had the correct ISBN, but it was deleted? I had reverted the ISBN change, but then reverted it back when I realized it matched the ISBN10 for the other one. Not sure what to do with these.

Chris Millington | 202 comments Please merge (one using 10 digit and one using 13 digit ISBNs for same edition):

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

has incorrect ISBN, check digit should be 6; should be merged into:

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

First book has better image.


message 35: by Lobstergirl (new)

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

Has ISBN 13 but when you edit, switches to ISBN 10 in ASIN slot. I'm guessing a merge is involved.


message 36: by Lobstergirl (new)

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

ISBN 10 for boxset corresponds to ISBN 13 of single volume:

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


message 38: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #29 I am unsure about the covers being identical. Color and shadow of title and author are different, seems to be more than the effect of scanning.
About the isbn change/removal: in 2010 someone removed the isbn from one edition, and created a new edition with the other cover and the same isbn, instead of creating an alternate cover edition.
I am hesitant to revert those changes since they were made so long ago; if someone else wants to revert them, feel free.


message 39: by Arenda (last edited May 05, 2016 07:14AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #30 The covers are not identical (one has a quote). I've moved the isbn13 to the isbn10 edition that was first on GR, and marked the other as alternate cover edition.

#33 queued for merging merged into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (same publisher)
#34 queued done
#35 Different formats (ebook and paperback). Added a better resolution cover to the ebook edition.
#36 Moved the isbn10 from the asin field to the isbn10 field (and re-added the isbn13 that disappeared when correcting). No merge needed.
#37 The isbn belongs to the boxset edition (source: Amazon and Worldcat). Moved isbn13 to the boxset. That makes the Scholastic edition of book 2 a duplicate, queued for merging merged, including another duplicate.
#38 done


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

Hopefully I'm posting in the right spot. There are books added to my author page that I didn't write. Same name, but not me and I don't want to take credit for someone else's books. Fight Song is my only currently listed books, and the other books noted. La Secretair, Aviar: Prophecies and Aviar: Shadows of Destiny do not belong to me.

#3 ASIN with no format, leads to used copy on Amazon. Separated with specified HC format and cover shown for used copy on Amazon.

Nellie ☾ (derpnerys) | 25 comments Hi, please delete this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This was posted under R L Stine instead of R.L. Stine (the official author page). I can't just transfer it since no other details like isbn were provided, so it's most likely a duplicate of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... Thanks!

Rebellion and Abbadon are actually the same publisher, but I guess it doesn't matter that much. Thanks.

I suspected it might be. The cover matched with both existing editions, and the truncated isbn also matched with both. That's why I didn't waste time to check the publisher/imprint.

(FYI: corrected the author and combined the book. Necessary to keep the ratings/reviews/shelvings when merging the book.)
