For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread.

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Re #3 & #4: Those are both unique editions with valid ASINs, not duplicates; they do not get deleted.

In both cases there are two editions with the ASIN; one with it in the ISBN13 spot.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments I stand corrected.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments This edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... has the ISBN13 for this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., minus one number. It has zero shelvings, but I separated together just for reference.

Out of print, but has a valid ISBN.

The ISBN is valid, but I don't think it was ever actually published. If you look at the author associated with it, before being changed, it was also incorrect.

Oh well, thank you for looking into it!


message 31: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #31 why?
When details are missing, the book should be updated, not deleted.

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Delete? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Seems inaccurate.


message 34: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Merge the two covered editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

One cover just seems to be better quality.

#34 done (author's website confirmed it is still expected in 2017)
#35 covers are different actually. Don't know if they are both being used.
#36-38 done
#39 done (it was marked as ACE, but covers were identical and no cover changes on any of these editions)
#40 not done. Reverted the ASIN-move. Both valid Kindle editions; and recombined.

Alyce Hunt (alliesaur) | 8 comments Now Sara Baume's second book, 'A Line Made By Walking', has been announced and added to Goodreads, could someone delete (or merge) the book on her page simply titled 'Book 2'?
Thank you!


message 45: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31405 comments I have combined the 4 extra editions, they all have ISBNs & publishing details, and am now changing the titles and adding covers where possible.

But it indicates that it is not the final cover (Bottom right)

Yes, it looks like it was mistakenly added by a brand-new user 3 days ago.
