Please merge the one without ISBN (but with more ratings) into the one that has the info (ISBN, translator etc.). Thanks! =D

Reminder; any super-librarian that is patient enough, #426 remains to be processed. Thanks!

907 There was a change of cover and the cover that was removed has the same colours as on the page of the publisher. So that edition shouldn't be deleted. If both covers exist one should be changed to an alternate cover edition.

There is only one cover for this edition, however, one cover is the actual photo of the book and the other is just the cover design.

This short story was published as PART of an online magazine--it should not have its own entry. Please delete.

Merge pending for 927.


message 912: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Pretty sure these are the same cover, just different contrast, and one has the ISBN10 while the other has the ISBN13 (also, the publisher has the # of pages as 160):

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Can they be merged and recombined?

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Thanks!

These two as well:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The second one has the wrong cover.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #931 - What do you mean wrong cover, looks like a valid cover to me.


message 916: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments It's the cover for an English version 10th anniversary edition, not for a Spanish translation (ie, the one in the first link)

Stuart | 8 comments Please remove https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... I've made some errors. For instance the author is misspelled. Instead the ISBN (9789022579473) should be added to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3....

At https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... the cover from the publishers website can be added:

Alex | 2736 comments Please merge this (duplicate):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Into this (matching everything but pub. date, ISBN13 of duplicate's ISBN10):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And combine back into this:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

There is a discrepancy with the publication date, however, I own the 2005 edition, and there is no bibliographic reference to a 1998 edition (the translation's copyright is for 2005). I could find no evidence of such an edition online. The publisher's site was also less than helpful in that regard.

Thank you!

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments These two are dups:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
ETA: found another one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
ETA (again): and another, though this one has no details and has a slightly different cover (without the publisher's logo):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

(the first has better details, but the second has a much nicer cover image)


message 933: by Anma (new)

Anma Natsu (anmanatsu) | 18 comments I think this listing should be deleted, or possibly combined?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It was initially released Kindle exclusive, with the Kindle edition already being here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The book was not released in general ebook form until yesterday, the listing for that is at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

#935 separated, merged and recombined
Please remember to separate both editions that need merging.

#936 queued done

#937 Merged the duplicate edition.
Please next time ask to have the edition with errors to be updated, rather than creating another edition.
Also please link to the book page, not just the cover image. The publisher does not list this isbn, cover is for a different isbn. If you have an acceptable source for the cover, please start a new thread to ask to have it added to the book.

#938-940 done
#941 not done, cover is different (above last part of internationally)

#942 separated, merged and recombined.
Please remember to separate both editions that need merging.

#943 queued done
#944-946 done
#947 working on separating and combining. Queued for merging. done
When there are too many ratings for you to separate, please leave all editions combined, so they can be separated all at once.
#948 done and recombined
#949 working on separating three editions with the same cover; two duplicates queued for merging done
#950 separated with more identical editions. Queued four duplicates for merging into the isbn edition (one of them was a mass market paperback with ASIN, referring on Amazon to the same isbn). > Done
#951 not done, reverted isbn move. You had added the ebook with isbn yourself in 2016.

message 938: by Joseph (new)

Joseph (josephuk) | 259 comments #907 still pending, as I said before there's only one cover for this edition. The colors are different because one photo is from the real cover of the book and the other is from the "cover design".

Despite the librarian note stating one of them as an ACE, I believe this is a move that's long over-due (and would present the case for anyone that felt an explanation ..."


I remember there was a GR user insisting on an alternate cover edition for the illustrated edition. At the time, as I recall, it was explicitly asked and confirmed that isbn and cover belonged together (one was for Sorcerer's, the other for Philosopher's), though I can't find the evidence for this in the threads of the Librarian Group.
I'm not merging them (too many "if", "believe", "probably").

Anma Natsu (anmanatsu) | 18 comments Arenda wrote: "#951 not done, reverted isbn move. You had added the ebook with isbn yourself in 2016. "

Yes, I made two editions trying to list the single ebook so that people like me, who frequently look up books by ISBN, could still find it. If the ISBN has to be on that listing, then the Kindle edition should be combined with it because they are the exact same book. There were never two separate versions and I'm not sure why Goodreads is set up in a way to not allow both on a single edition because all books for sale on Amazon can have both numbers?

Kindle editions with ASIN and ebooks with isbn are considered different editions on Goodreads. When it is Kindle exclusive, please only add a Kindle edition with ASIN. Goodreads lists Kindle editions only with ASIN, not isbn.
