Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #608 not pending - trying to figure out what was done on behalf of the author first.

Someone really messed with the standard numbers there.

OK reverse merging into Kindle edition so flagged edits stay visible.

And done

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."


That’s fine; in such cases the editions are combined—and in this case they are already combined.

Moloch | 3975 comments One of those "Unknown books" back from the Amazon scare of January 2012: it is now impossible to know which book it was. I believe they are to be deleted now?

It has a rating though, so staff only AFAIK

Arenda | 26447 comments #613 There is a giveaway attached to this book. I don't know if merging will influence it. I made a note to check once the giveaway is over.
#615 done

Arenda | 26447 comments #618, 619 done (and the other duplicate of Revelation that was already separated)

Thanks. I was about to post the link to the last duplicate after separating it before I realized you'd already seen it and deleted it.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4.... I can't separate edition to be merged into, it's been shelved too many times.

Edition to be merged has an invalid ISBN13 identical to edition to be merged into except for the last digit.


message 616: by Jen (new)

Jen (ariesrising) | 6 comments Could these please be merged into one - it's the exact same edition (I'm the author):

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Working on #623 done. Jen, could you leave the truncated ISBN on in future as it speeds up the assessment for us? :)

#622 Attempting separation. Separated, combined, and pending. And Done - recombining now.

#621 first one pending, will do next once it's through. #1 done, #2 pending now. Think both are gone now.

Going to bed now but leaving them running. Will prod them again in a few hours! Gone!

(To explain lack of ISBN: Edition had an invalid ISBN, but is a Kindle edition. Changed ISBN for kindle edition, found there already was one at another author - changed author and combined. Book is only available as a Kindle.)

#626 Separated off and both records gone. Recombining

message 624: by Andrea (new)

Andrea (andrea_b) | 571 comments for The Hammer of Thor , the main edition (hardcover) doesn't have any ISBN listed https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... , I think it should be merged with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... ?


message 625: by Arenda (last edited Oct 28, 2016 06:07AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #631 Agreed, working on separating both hardcovers, queued for merging...., done, finally

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and recombine?

Edition to be merged has ISBN13 for a previously added edition. Edition to be merged also lists HC as format, but it looks like the copies for sale on Amazon are listed as pbk; 2nd cover image on Amazon shows back cover of book and reads "international edition," which are generally pbk I believe?


message 631: by Amie (new)

Amie McCracken (amiemccracken) | 3 comments This book has a paperback and an ebook version, but they are the same book. I'm not sure if you can merge them since they have different ISBNs? The paperback version (first link) is the proper one with the correct authors list and correct cover.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

If they need to be two separate listings, is it possible to update the cover and the authors list on the ebook to match the paperback? Thanks!

Sammm | 88 comments Super-librarian NEEDED!
Temporary work id# 53383927

Although Гарри Поттер и узник Азкабана by J.K. Rowling has more ratings, it has no info other than it's in Russian, hopefully could be merged with Гарри Поттер и узник Азкабана by J.K. Rowling , the Russian adult edition with a unique cover. (Since other Russian editions using Scholastic's covers all have ratings, and this edition was the only one without any)


message 634: by Lakshmi (new)

Lakshmi (glaksh) | 5 comments Hi! I am new to the Goodreads Author Program. I notice two books not written by me are listed on my profile. They are:

A Long Way from Tibet
by Carlo Buldrini, Lakshmi Iyer (Goodreads Author) (Translator)
3.50 avg rating — 2 ratings — published 2006


Institutions, Institutional... Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance in Emerging Markets
by Lakshmi Iyer (Goodreads Author)
0.00 avg rating — 0 ratings

Can someone help remove them from my profile?

Thank you in advance.

Lakshmi

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2197 comments Can someone recheck 600? It's been pending for over a day and a half. Someone recombined it, so I separated again.

#638: NOT a merge. Two valid editions therefore they arenow combined.

#638 - This is not a request for this thread. Please start a new thread asking for those books to be moved to a separate profile.

#636 - Made into ACE as slight difference in the font sizes on covers.
#637 - Gone. Not sure which to recombine with, sorry!
#644-650 - All pending

Are you able to add Hergé in the correct script and an appropriate-language description to the various Bengali records?

Not a problem. Bengali is my first language.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #600 - Re-pending!

OK Should be gone now, unless it reappears AGAIN!

And leaving #651 for now as I have a bunch of pending tabs open...
