Sorry about that. I've added the numbers.

Joy Mutter (goodreadscomjoy_mutter) | 16 comments I made a bit of a boo boo and somehow clicked the add book button twice when I added my new book Holiday for The Hostile. I only want to keep the one with the cover image to show, not the one without the book cover image. Here is the link to the version of Holiday for The Hostile to be deleted. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thank you.

Sandra | 31405 comments Joy, one is a kindle and the other the paperback edition. I've combined them and added the cover.

The Kindle isn't live on Amazon yet but it will be any day now. Thanks for combining them. Hopefully there won't be a problem with the Kindle not being available for a day or two.

Sandra | 31405 comments Shouldn't be. Is it set up for pre-order?

ETA: It was the paperback you asked to be removed so it all worked out in the end.

No, I didn't want the paperback deleted. The paperback is live on Amazon. The Kindle isn't. The Kindle is still In Review but will go live any day, even by the end of today if I'm lucky. They say it can take up to 72 hours and I published the Kindle today. The paperback was published yesterday and is live on Amazon.

Thanks

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1.... Edition to be merged appears to have a mangled, truncated version of ISBN13.


message 269: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Merge with default https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...?

Appears to have been a working title for this book, as all searches for that title lead to the default title.

One has ISBN13, the other the matching ISBN10. They are the two most popular versions of the work, so I didn't separate. Dates differ, but the 2009 is likely a reprint date.

message 279: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and recombine. Edition to be merged lists pub date at 2012, but this title was first published in 2016.


message 280: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments These https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... are all short stories from this collection- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2..., and do not appear to have been published elsewhere- can they be merged with the anthology? I didn't actually combine/separate with the anthology, I was unsure which edition they should merge with, default, or pbk (some stories are listed as pbk edition).

286 Merged the two duplicates. The two editions left are the paperback with an ISBN and ebook edition.

287-289 Done

ReadingFrog | 139 comments This is a duplicate of the default edition, and the ISBN values need to be moved to the default: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Please merge the one that has the incomplete ISBN13 in its ISBN10 field to the other. Thanks! The images for book covers look not exactly identical due to image quality, not because of being actual ACE.

message 289: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - this 'ACE' is in fact the first published cover

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - this one has an undistributed, pre-publication cover

See https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., specifically msg #3, 17-18, 21, 23

Please recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks in advance!


message 290: by Tom (new)

Tom Benjey | 2 comments Please delete ISBN 9781936161485. I switched publishers before the book was released. Glorious Times: Adventures of the Craighead Naturalists has just been released by University of Montana Press under ISBN 978-0-9909748-9-5 in paperback only. I have updated the book's page but don't know if those changes took.

How does one load a back cover image?


message 291: by Michael (new)

Michael Martin | 4 comments Hello, there are two versions of my book Screams in the Woods that are no longer available or valid listings. The BeWrite paperback (ISBN13: 9780986642883) is no longer available as they went out of business several years ago. Also, the Smashwords eBook (ISBN13 9781301066612) was unpublished several months ago and withdrawn from distribution. I've signed up with Kindle Unlimited, and Amazon will be on my back if they see this edition listed. If possible, I would like both to be deleted from my Goodreads author profile. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike


message 292: by Sean (new)

Sean Thompson (seanmaliathompson) | 11 comments Please delete this version of this book without the cover, that is also not linked with my official author page.

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


message 293: by Sean (new)

Sean Thompson (seanmaliathompson) | 11 comments Also, please delete this book without the cover.
For some reason they are linked to an author page that isn't my official one. So please delete this too.

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


message 294: by Sean (new)

Sean Thompson (seanmaliathompson) | 11 comments And please delete this one too. I'm going to just do a new listing linked with my official author page.

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


message 295: by Michael (new)

Michael Martin | 4 comments Hi, I've just noticed there's another version of one of my books, Area 62, that is no longer available. Once again, it's an unpublished Smashwords eBook (ISBN13 9781311708908). Could this be deleted too? Thanks, Mike

lethe | 16359 comments #296, 300 @Michael: Goodreads does not delete editions that are no longer published. If there are legal issues, please contact support (at) goodreads (dot) com

It is a duplicate of:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The latter is the main version, so it should be merged correctly


message 299: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #296, #300 Goodreads does not remove records for books that are no longer available. A note may be added to the description field, but otherwise all data remains on records.


message 300: by Emy (last edited Dec 04, 2016 02:40PM) (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #297 Valid edition moved to correct profile. Blank editions merged into the valid edition which is now on the correct page.
#298/9 This has been moved by another librarian. In the event that you spot something similar with your works, it would be better dealt with in your own thread as this isn't an issue which would normally need a Super.
