Please delete this book! (pt. 26) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
I couldn't find information that the short story was separately published. Still if you want to leave it in the database you can merge the two entries and recombined with the magazine entry. Please do not combine with the book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Got 255-258. Changed the short story to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction since there are other issues of this magazine in the data base.
Please merge these two:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
into this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(they're categorized as Kindle Editions but don't have ASINs or any other identifying information beyond the title and format)
And then recombine into the original:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Thank you!

#265 Query for Rivka: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - this doesn't seem to be published but a user created collection of all his short stories ONLY available in other anthologies. What should it be merged into?

Secondary question: A lot of these short stories are also listed separately with 500+ adds (e.g. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...). Again these are not available (currently at least) outside of the multi-author anthologies. I'm happy figuring out and combining these with the appropriate anthologies, but I am concerned there are too many adds for me to complete the merge - at what point is it necessary to leave them to you?
Mod
OK - time to try not to break the system :D
This appears to be a review which has been put up as a book...can someone please check it out for me, and delete if that's the case? Thanks.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It's an actual book that contains a 30+ page review on the book mentioned in the title. I've updated the description to reflect that and added the cover.

I inadvertently manually added my book and the ISBN number was wrong (off by one digit--a zero was left out). I subsequently added the book with the correct ISBN. Now, I have two identical books and want to delete the one with the incorrect (12 digits) ISBN. What is the simplest method to do this? Please help--I am brand new. Thank You. r. manolakasPart Two of related question: I looked up my books by putting my author name in the general search box, and they all three came up. However, in my author profile page, only 2 came up. Why? And should I manually add the third that is missing or is there an easier method?
#283 - I've fixed the Kindle Edition with the shortened ISBN to have the ASIN instead (All Kindle Editions use the ASIN not the ISBN so that the purchase links work). I have also combined the two editions together (see here) and fixed the punctuation to fit Goodreads' policy. What format should ISBN13: 9780989854528 actually be?In future, you can edit books you have added to the system for a short while after saving, so you can add missing ISBN digits :)
Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1..., it's dup of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
Please can a Super Librarian delete this book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The author has requested me to delete this book as he has had to unpublish it due to family issues. It says it needs a Super Librarian to delete as it has so many reviews so please can someone do this. Thanks. Julie

So there is no way the author can get rid of the listing? It has been taken off amazon. I suppose it cannot be bought anymore though as it was only in kindle edition and unavailable now. Ok I will let the author know.
Query for Rivka: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...Author links the shorts with a "cover" on her site, but this one is not available from there, only in an anthology. OK to merge with the anthology? Only noticed it when adding the just released anthology onto the series list...
Please combine the ebook version of Tumbleweed - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... with the paperback version - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2.... I had to add the paperback to do the giveaway because the program needs an ISBN. Seems there should be a way to not duplicate books when an author wants to participate in your paperback giveaway, but I couldn't find it! The ebook is the primary book.
291, combined, they are not duplicates, just different editions.Please start a new threads for any other questions. This thread is for deleting books from the database.
Mace by Gale Stanley needs to be looked at. It has editions that are both ebook. Problem is, someone added the new book edition as a separate book, instead of a new edition of a previous edition. I tried to fix, but the rest of the deletions/merges (?) need a super librarian.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Super-librarian, please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6.... I managed to get it added twice. Thank you.

Yes. Looks like several others are available as individual ebooks, so those are ok to stay.

Aye, she's pretty good on providing freebies. Will go ahead and work out which are merge candidates now :)
