The original is this one : https://www.goodreads.com/b..."
There is additional wording printed on the cover of one of the books.
Unless that is a sticky label added for some reason that can be peeled off and there for is not part of the book cover, the additional text on the cover counts as an alternate cover edition.

It should be the 1977 date. '66 looked like this: http://www.dezimmer.net/Covering%20Lo...

Oh dear! Thank you for pointing that out! The thumbnails look similar! I should have enlarged them to check! You are right, it's not just the cropping being slightly different, the proportion of the size of the publisher's logo is definitely not the same either. Have marked the newer created one as ACE.

To be honest, I think the observation of the librarian note for


So taking that into consideration, I figured merging it with a coverless duplicate to bump up its rating would somewhat help, since the ACE actually has better image quality but was requested to be left alone.
Personally I don't really understand why the two editions (with covers) shouldn't be merged (for I don't agree it is a case of ACE); it looks like one's using a scanned version of the actual cover (hence the metallic-ish, embossing looking "Harry Potter"), while the other used the official digitized file, which is actually exactly what you would find on the publisher's page for this particular edition:
www.gallimard.fr/Catalogue/GALLIMARD-...
(Direct link to the HQ image below)
www.gallimard.fr/gallimard/download/i...
But yeah, since I don't know if there's other reasons for the two editions with covers to not be merged, I'm hoping to at least get the one with book cover of higher quality to get the dupe's ratings since they are representing the same edition.

Not sure why someone created a dupe with it titled as "~ Sorcerer's Stone" even when the image of the dupe edition itself clearly displays it as "~ Philosopher's Stone".

#586/#668 I PM'd the person who uploaded the cover. They said this "When I loaded this book Goodreads had no corresponding cover of image. This is something I created and uploaded because I dislike a blank as a cover. I think every book deserves a face."

Looks like they were skipped, not reported by someone to be queued. Working on them now.

One edition has ISBN10 for edition to be merged into, 1 stray, and 1 has truncated ISBN13 for edition to be merged into.

#691 queued into ISBN13 edition as that was on GR first."
Thank you, the other edition had more shelvings, I guess that's what I was looking at :)

I am writing under a pen name and there is an author on goodreads that already has that name with whom I am not affiliated.

*SOB* ok, I've separated everything AGAIN, and this time left a huge librarian note basically saying "Don't recombine until the merge is done". Do the merges need to be requeued if they were recombined before they were done?

Yep. :)
ETA: The deletion queue is heavily backlogged, so it may be a few days before these books can be recombined.

It looks to me that it should be merged to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... as it had that ASIN before the amazon bot removed it.
The current holder of the ASIN https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... has later publication date.

Thanks.

This ASIN is not for a book or the Kindle omnibus, it's for the series page. Needs merging into the actual Kindle 2 for 1 set it's separated with, then ASIN needs NABBING.
and the remaining kindle edition recombines with
