#409 corrected the author and merged the duplicate edition

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - (correct entry)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Not much info here, no true title. It looks like it is meant to represent a short story in issue 100 of a magazine https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
supporting info; from SK archives http://stephenking.com/newsletter/arc... scroll down to Aug 22, 2012 "Volume 100 New Short Story". This seems to match the GR listing
could merge with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... which is the short story the SK library/newsletter is announcing on 8/22/2012

Corrected links for merging of #411

#1 Temporary work id# 53180486
#2 Temporary work id# 53179878
The page number of the US Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Illustrated Edition by Jim Kay are 246, 248, 256 (and perhaps more) depending on where you look up the source, but supposedly, if it is an edition published by Arthur A. Levine Books in 2015, it should be the same edition. Hence requesting the merge.

They're the same book. The last one should be kept as original.
Thanks.

#424. Thanks for numbering the requests. Posting a new message for each request is even preferred.
#424-1: covers are different ("and the Sorcerer's Stone" on one line vs. on two lines). Marked as ACE.
#424-2: Done
For page count, Worldcat is usually the most reliable online source. (Unless a user with the book in hand can confirm the actual page count.) Worldcat has 246 pages for this edition. (Worldcat doesn't include the last page when there is no page number on it). Someone has changed it from 246 to 248; I'm inclined to leave it at 248.
#424: 3-6 done
#425-428 done
#432 done

OMG! I have no idea why my eye didn't pick up the line differences! Thanks for catching it!

This edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... looks to be duplicate of the same, too, but I didn't separate it as I'm not quite sure (lower part of the cover more yellowish).

I accidentally typoed an author's (Cecil Bødker) name in a search, and noticed that one of her books, "Tænk på Jolande", was accidentally marked with "Cecil Bødger" as the author. I corrected the author's name, and then took a look at her other works, where "Tænk på Jolande" was already listed.
The one that had been credited with "Cecil Bødger" as the author has no reviews, and nobody has added it, which made me think that perhaps it should be deleted. (I'm still quite new as a librarian, and this is the first time I've noticed anything like this. I'd really appreciate the help in deciding the best course of action; that's why I didn't even merge the editions yet.)
So, could somebody take a look, and see if the book should be deleted? And, if deletion is the best course of action, could that person carry out the deletion? The URL for this "missing lamb" that had been credited with an incorrect author's name is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (ISBN 8774051601).
Thanks in advance!

Both were added by the same person, so I think when they noticed their spelling mistake they added it again. I combined both editions and merged the one without ISBN: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

That in itself is no reason for deletion. Only if there is nothing to discern it from another edition (different cover/ISBN/publisher/(page count sometimes) may an edition be merged.

No need to separate one edition. It is easier for me to separate both together.
#390-#395 done
#396 done (format was changed from audiobook to MP3-CD; before Audible was a separate format, Audible editions were listed as audiobook)
#397 reverted the changes that were made during the Amazon data removal in 2012. The edition with the ASIN is actually a German kindle edition. The duplicate is an ACE for ASIN B000FC2L1Y
#398 merged into matching publisher
#399 done
#400 reverted several cover changes on the edition with ASIN. Marked the other as ACE and recombined both.
#401-#403 done
#404 sorry, no idea if it is for book 1 or book 2. It was added to GR before book 1 was published. There are two ratings, both users have book 1 on their shelves and added the Untitled edition after adding book 1.
#405 No merge. If details are incorrect, they should be corrected. Someone has removed the isbn from the edition with the green cover; the other edition has an isbn13 that is not an isbn: 9847017800008.
Sometimes all details, except the cover, seems to be the same. They should be marked as an alternate cover edition. Usually one cover is printed later than the other with the same isbn, though sometimes the same publication date is found for both covers.
