#833 It is not an empty duplicate as there is a cover attached to that edition. There was an error that made the cover not show on the book page, only on the editions page. I've re-added the same cover. #834 both are valid editions: a Kindle and a paperback.
Moved the Kindle edition to your profile and combined it with the paperback.

Hi. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... is a duplicate of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.... Please delete it. As you can see, the details of the first one are incorrect and attribute the book to a non-existent author, but they are the same edition of the same book.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...ISBN13 in ISBN10 spot.

Merge both with default.
Book need to be Updated My Book Love and Hope has been updated and the old version is available in goodreads. So it need to be updated.
New version is available here
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CEDQ72A/...
Reposted from a different thread.I believe Collected Poetry & Prose and
Collected Poetry and Prose are the same book and need to merged.
After checking, I agree.
Please delete A Treasury of Poetry for Young People: Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, Carl Sandberg, Walt Whitman. It is a duplicate of A Treasury Of Poetry For Young People.
As far as I know, this was published only in New Yorker magazine. Should it be merged/deleted?Edit:
Another one here

Goodreads does not delete books that are no longer available, as has also been answered in the other thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The Duniazát is also listed on Salman Rushdie's website: http://www.salmanrushdie.com/the-duni...
I don't know if that counts as published separately?
When it is only published in the New Yorker Magazine, it should be deleted. It should be merged when it is also published in another book, collection, anthology.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... seems a valid book. It has an isbn and is also listed on Worldcat: http://www.worldcat.org/title/in-good...

Danke. I wasn't sure what to do with Duniazat. Is it okay to add that url from author's website to the book page here?
For the other link, I goofed up and gave the wrong book instead of this :)
Michael wrote: "For the other link, I goofed up and gave the wrong book instead of this :)"According to Wikipedia, In the South was published on Booktrack, although I can't find it there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_... : In 2012, Salman Rushdie became one of the first major authors to embrace Booktrack (a company that synchronises ebooks with customised soundtracks), when he published his short story "In the South" on the platform.
For Duniazat, maybe start a new thread and ask if someone can confirm that the listing on the author's website is a valid publication. If it is, the URL should be added.
Split ISBN. Fortunately, the default has the other half.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thank you!

RE: #844 I believe the images are the same. This image is just more washed out. If you zoom into the larger copy you can see that faded versions of the red and blue lines are present. The RGB colors support this.
Moreover, from what I can tell there is no other edition of this book.

Second look at both covers: the title is also different: one has "and" the other "&". Sorry.
Arenda wrote: "Darren wrote: "RE: #844 I believe the images are the same. This image is just more washed out. If you zoom into the larger copy you can see that faded versions of the red and blue lines are present..."Good catch.
Should the title of the cover match the title of the edition then? (The titles on the publisher's page do not.) Also, should the image on the version with a isbn match the publisher's version?
If it were me, I would eliminate the edition without an ISBN, replace the image of the remaining edition to that on publisher's website (or Amazon) and replace the ampersand in the title with "and" .
(I was unable to find any other version of the image with "and" online. The source of this image is ingram.)
Thanks,
Darren
Please delete The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts and an Epilogue it is a duplicate of The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts and an Epilogue. The maintained edition will need to be recombined with The Brothers Karamazov (I separated them earlier) and isbn 13 needs to be added.
Thanks!
please delete from my Authors Page: First Catholic Church in Joliet, Illinois by Norman Werling, Nancy Thornton (Editor) from my page.My name is also Nancy Thornton--i am just now working on my Authors Page and saw that at the top of the list on my page. Thank you.
#858: Nancy wrote: "please delete from my Authors Page: First Catholic Church in Joliet, Illinois by Norman Werling, Nancy Thornton (Editor) from my page..."That book turned out to be by a Nancy C. Thornton; book moved. Please start a new thread next time, as the book did not need to be deleted, just moved, which can be done by any librarian.

Also, should the image on the version with a isbn match the publisher's version? Title should indeed match the cover. Publishers and libraries replace & and numbers regularly with the written alternative.
I probably wouldn't change it, unless I was also making other changes to the book.

Deleting covers or editions that were once published is against GR policy, as is replacing covers on existing editions.
Also, the first edition that was added to GR, has to keep the isbn. Moving isbn's to another edition is also not allowed.
(I was unable to find any other version of the image with "and" online. The source of this image is ingram.)"
Just because it is not or no longer online, doesn't mean it was never used.

While trying to add an actual book to my Author Profile (She Hates Me Not, ASIN B01I49BVLU), I clicked a wrong button and created a second book with the same title only. It has no book details, no cover art, etc., and is not needed on my profile.Can the second, "empty" book be deleted? (Please do not delete the She Hates Me Not book profile with cover art - it is correct, and I am the author.) Thank you!!

Moved book to your page and merged the empty editions.
Plese delete this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... - it's a double. The correct one has ISBN.
Check these three books https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... that are combined and remove the two without ISBN numbers. They don't exist. Only the one with the correct info does.
Please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It does not exist. I'm not even sure who posted it on my page or why it's getting reviews.
