rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments #678/679 - One is a paperback edition, one is a kindle edition. Both have valid ISBN/ASIN numbers. Combined, not merged or deleted - which any librarian can do (not just super librarians like this thread is for).

Leah (leahmthomas) | 2 comments This is my second request that this book be disassociated from my author account. My name is also Leah Thomas, but I'm a YA author (profile here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...). I did not write this and would appreciate it if it were not attached to my profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Please and thank you. I'd hate to mislead readers.

I've moved it from your author page, but this is a thread for deletions. In the future, please start a new thread for your request, super-librarians aren't needed to do this.

Thanks, Cassandra! (it's still appearing on my page; I assume there's a delay?)

Last time I did make a separate thread, but wasn't sure if that was superfluous. Good to know!

Yes "9788577990498" is a valid ISBN, but doesn't correspond to this book at all. I'm completely sure the two books I asked to merge are the same. Sorry for the inconvenience.

are exactly the same:

message 693: by Nadeschda (new)

Nadeschda | 19 comments I think this book should be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Since it's a simple duplicate of this anthology (same cover etc.):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I think the single purpose for the "extra" making of the short story was to let it look nice in the series page of "Jane Yellowrock" which isn't necessary in my opinion:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1614...

The same goes for this short story:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This "extra" page was duplicated from this anthology:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I presume the other stories weren't duplicated since there is an entry for the audio versions of them.

Arenda | 26447 comments #697 done
#698 queued
#699 queued
#700 queued
#701 done
#702 was already done, probably in another thread
#703 done (969 is correct for page count, even though there are less pages in this actual volume).
#704 sorry, the link is not working. Looks like someone has recombined them.
#705-706 done
#707 according to a librarian comment on the edit page, the placeholder cover is an ARC edition > added to the edition field.
Other edition that was incorrectly marked as ACE merged into matching Kindle edition and recombined.
#708-1 done
#708-2 not done, not sure if it wasn't also published as a short story. Author's website doesn't mention that it is part of an anthology/collection; some reviews do mention it was part of Black Water.

Arash (arashbehmand) | 4 comments #704 cnt.

Thank you for your attention. I seperated them again:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

address of main book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
the duplicate:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 697: by Ayshe (new)

Ayshe | 3084 comments Arenda wrote: "...#703 queued (969 is correct for page count, even though there are less pages in this actual volume)...."

So it should be combined back to the main work then (I had separated that one from the main wok and the other from the vol.2 editions)? It counts as two volumes using same ISBN even though it was pre-ISBN?

If so, should Volume 1 be merged too?

User has asked whether it's correct: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

For the information on the author's website concerning the anthology: http://www.faithhunter.net/wp/books/j...
It's also the same information as on the GR's site which I linked in my previous comment:

Nadeschda wrote:"The same goes for this short story:

All other short stories (two in total) are only available as audiobooks. I checked audible (since the author says on her homepage that all audiobooks are available there) and found them all except "Snafu" - which doesn't seem to be released as a single file at least.

But the matter stands that it's a duplicate from the anthology. There isn't even much information which will be missed.

I was not questioning if Snafu was published in Black Water. That was obvious.
I was looking at this page: http://www.faithhunter.net/wp/2016/04... where nothing was mentioned for Snafu where it could be found.

And I agree the cover for Snafu is wrong.
Snafu might have been available as ebook at one time.
