It appears in Richard Yates's 1962 book "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness."

I found a similar issue with this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This was never published on its own but instead is a part of Yates's 1981 book "Liars in Love."

688 pages comes from the publisher, but 658 is the number of pages not including the acknowledgements and bibliography and stuff, so these are a duplicate, and the merged edition should be recombined with the original.

104, Joey: Do you know what book this poem is published in?

the cat & joey:
For short stories & poems that haven't been published individually they should be merged into the correct anthology containing them.

Combine the short stories/poems with the anthology it belongs in. (Leaving a librarian note will help that it doesn't get separated out before the merge)

It's a double post. I don't want people to get confused!

MANY thanks.

Please combine these two entries, they refer to same book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks,
Shubh

109 This thread is not for combine requests and I think it is the same request as your own thread. Making a request once is enough. And copying links from a message doesn't work, those links go now to two other books.

Ah, thanks. The user had entered the wrong author (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow instead of William Wordsworth), but I found a stand-alone Kindle edition of the poem and merged the user's review into it.

The other entry, a magazine article, is apparently from an issue of Glamour , and since Goodreads allows magazines "on an individual and unencouraged basis" I guess that can be left alone (or someone might add details of the full issue).

Pls do NOT delete per #127 until GR tech has chance to note errors in those imports.

Vicki (vickisly) Hello, can you please delete this book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

If you can provide the correct data, we can edit the record rather than deleting it: just start a new discussion in this same folder

Thanks Mollock but how do I provide all the data and cover in this format here? Wouldn't it just be easier for me to make a new entry on the database? Sorry, I thought deleting would be easier and I could just upload a new one as other librarians have suggested this before. THanks

The book has been fixed by Emy (see post 134)

However, for future references, I meant that if you post a new discussion with the data missing (ISBN, no. of pages, year, etc), a librarian will fix the book for you :-)

In this instance, when creating your thread, a link to the relevant page on the website would be acceptable as we can use covers sourced from publisher websites.

Dorcas (onemorepageplease) | 5 comments Forget my last comment. The books had different isbn numbers so i just merged them.


message 148: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Griffin (bookstobreathe) | 16 comments Please delete this book. Someone added it and it is NOT the author's official GR page. The book is on the right page, so this one needs to be deleted. Please also take a look at this 'fake' profile as more of the real author's books are tied to them as well. Thanks!

Got 146.

Re 147: they appear to have been distributed as ARCs. If that is not correct, the author should contact Support directly by using the Contact Us link on the Help page.

Re 150: Merged. In future, please link both editions of a book, so the duplicate can be merged and no shelvings lost. The Goodreads author is the 2-space Melissa Brown. If you need help moving any more of her books from the default (1-space) Melissa Brown, please start a new thread.
