Sine (sinelit) | 86 comments #99, #100: exactly, that's a sticker applied by turkish government showing the book is "legal". :) it does not matter which cover you prefer but i assure you, they are the same book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... this is the edition with the correct info from the translator to the ISBN number. thanks a lot!

probably need rivka to weigh in

but to me if the author republishes a book with an award sticker or other sticker - needs an ACE

I put a sticker on the cover myself to cover up a piece of the cover I dont like, - no ACE - I have not re published the book / change the cover as the author

The governement put a sticker on a book to indicate 'legal' - no ACE - the government is not republishing the book with a different cover

The book is not published yet, so Kindle hasn't assigned an ASIN yet. The ISBN is for the ebook edition, but it will only be available on Kindle. That's why I don't want two ebook editions because there will be only one.

exactly. the cover with sticker is a scanned image while the one without sticker is retrieved from the publisher's website or some other book-seller's site; other than that, it is the same book.

if i was a super-librarian, i would merge the books to the first link i posted with the right ISBN and translator etc etc and put the cover image from the second link that has no sticker; and would not bother you at all :) but still, merging them to the first one and leaving the cover with sticker is still fine and would work i guess.

Arenda | 26447 comments #95/98/107 Merged the empty Kindle edition.
Removed the isbn13 from the Kindle edition. Kindle editions are only listed with ASIN on GR, not with isbn. Once the ASIN is assigned, it can be added to the Kindle edition.

I can remove the ISBN but how will that help with the duplicate entries that I originally asked to have removed? I left the ISBN there to clarify which entry should remain and which should be deleted.

Thanks Rivka and Paula.
Replaced the cover with sticker with the same cover (without sticker) from the publisher's website and merged the other edition.
Remaining edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Jaycee Ford (jayceeford) | 8 comments Please remove Only One Dream from author's books. It was not added by me, the author, and should not be added by anyone else. It was a collaborative effort (anthology). Not one story as a book.

There is no story on Wattpad. That was over two years ago.

And furthermore, I believe it should be at the author's discretion what is considered "published." I would like this removed, please.

GR considers posting on Wattpad published, and does not delete published books whether they are available or not at the present time (they where at one time) rivka a GR employee has already answered you in msg 118. Posting here will not get it removed since a GR Staff member has already posted and librarians do not go against staff members

Please do not move ISBN's around prior to requesting a merge, leave the books as they are. If there is some thing in particular about an edition then note it in the request for the merge.

Also Facebook URL's are not acceptable URL's for the URL field

Shrubush | 8 comments Thanks Paula.

What should I do next? How to deal with this issue?


message 131: by Paula (last edited Jul 14, 2016 10:11AM) (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I have dealt with it

Next time, just post the links to the books and the reason that need they merging, do not change any data on them,

Edit: Re the Facebook links in the URL field, these should be removed
