Please delete this book! (pt. 41) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Please delete my book. I am unable to modify the description, which has the wrong author's name (due to having to change the pen name that already exists on goodreads). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
BTW, why can't authors modify their own profiles and book information?
#860 Queued first for deletion. Merge must be completed before second can be queued. #861
#862
#863
#864
#865 This edition had a different cover to the original (missing writing at the bottom, logo in the bottom right). Marked as ACE and recombined.
ETA: Corrected for 4 deleted posts.

Thank you and thanks for the information! (I *think* the error message states "too many ratings" or something to that effect).

Yes, I was confused by that as well at first.
I need to remove a duplicate of Hearts for Valentine from my author page. How do I do that?

It is a duplicate with first 10 digits of ISBN13 set as ISBN of
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
(I've added a librarian note to deter recombination)
Please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1.... The ISBN is not correct, and I was not able to find any information on this edition. I look up Alain-René Lesage, and he does not figure as the author of this book.
#882 #883 That edition is a Nook edition with a BNID (they all start 294...). As we can't use B&N as a data source, there's nothing we can do to complete the record.
However, this book is connected to Le Sage, I think, see here: https://archive.org/details/lifeandad...
It seems the full title of "The Life and Adventures of Lazarillo de Tormes / The Life and Adventures of Gusman Alfarache, or The Spanish Rogue" often gets truncated to just "The Life and Adventures of Lazarillo de Tormes" and Le Sage translated the latter of the two books into French (which, in my example, was then translated by Brady into English).

Edition to merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...Might want to move cover as this is a better quality version.
Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...(the covers are the same, but the one with the ISBN13 is a scan of a physical book with a line where the cover folds)
And recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Keep: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...Merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Had to revert changes to cover and page count for the isbn edition, so might want to double check that.
Keep: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
One has truncated isbn, so I think they are duplicates. Page count is off though.

Since it has a lot of reviews and shelvings, along with ISBN's and appears to be a contraversal book the author or publisher should contact GR Support to do this

It is a duplicate of

#894 I think this has probably been done.#895 Added translator and reverted bad page count change (Worldcat agrees).

Please merge and recombine: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...The date on the ISBN-less dup is questionable (https://tantor.com/the-lies-of-locke-...)
Just gathering together some requests that I have skipped because I'm uncertain of how to proceed:#704, #824 --> #738 (My suggested course of action)
#709 --> #739
There is also a policy topic expanding on this, see here.
#785 --> #835.
Any guidance would be much appreciated! :)
This guy: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...has the truncated ISBN of this guy (ebook): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
but is categorized as a Kindle version, the most popular of which is this guy: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
I'm not sure which one it should be separated with (my guess is the ebook??) but it should be merged with...something...
got 907, 909, 910
