Merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and recombine? Edition to be merged appears to be exact same cover for edition to be merged into, except it's a badly lit, cropped user submitted picture.
Hello!I need help from a superlibrarian to merge two books that are the same. One takes ISBN 10 and the other ISBN 13 of the same book and edition.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... (ISBN 13 9788575035511)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... (ISBN 10 8575035517 )
I have already separated them from other editions and combined only the two, as instructed in the librarian manual. But I can't merge them because they have more than five reviews.
So please merge these two. I can then recombine the result with other editions.
Thank you!
Could these two editions please be combined? (This should be the primary edition):

First, this request is off-topic for this thread.
Second, please contact GR Support. Support can move books in batches from a claimed author profile. Apparently they made a mistake when creating your author profile. Librarians can't correct a claimed author profile.
(Librarians can move books to another profile, but not in batches. Support should move you from the default author profile.)

- This thread is for deleting duplicates. For other issues please start a new thread.
- I've reverted the format change for the edition with isbn 9781310277450. That is the Smashwords ebook edition, not the paperback.
- I've combined the paperback edition with the other editions, added the cover and corrected the authors on all edition (also removed the editor).
- There was a duplicate edition with only the cover, no format or isbn. Merged (= deleted) that duplicate.
- If you want a specific edition to be the default, you (Mindy) as the primary author on the book could do that; librarians can't. Here are the instructions: How to set the default edition.
581, 567Both were published in 2008 by the same publishers. Covers look different maybe because of camera/scanner quality.

Thank you, Arenda! Well, still learning a lot here - but I really should have checked the links! Thanks for your note. As for ISBN's, I had read before another note on that being important in any case! :-)

It looks like a user created this bad record while trying to review the book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The ratings/reviews need to be moved to the actual book and this one then needs to be deleted.
Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and recombine.
Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... as per the author's website, the next book is coming in September 2017 (http://seananmcguire.com/toby.php).

Can someone please delete this? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It wasn't even a book, it was a screenplay I wrote, and it keeps coming up on Google. Thanks!

#604: Why? Both editions have valid ISBNs and they are distinct publications.WorldCat reference:

#603 - This was a published work through Amazon (21 Dec 2010) . Goodreads does not remove items once they are out of print.#604 As Codex says - both editions are valid and are not suitable for deletion (Merge).

Yes but one is the most recent reprint of the other. They are the same book, same edition, same format only ISBNs different.
Sorry I thought they were to merge.
Ps: I confused! Sorry sorry you're right!! Sorry!!

Merging sometimes takes a long time, especially when the book is very popular (even if the duplicate itself is not shelved many times). It was still marked as queued (for merging), meaning the process of merging has been started but not finished yet.
