David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments Merry, since there are no reviews for that edition, simply delete it, you don't need anyone else to do it. Look for the text " Delete This Book" on the bottom right.

David is correct.

Two notes, though: Please link to book/show pages, rather than book/edit pages. And when adding an ACE, please use the current month and year (or date of the new cover change, if that differs) for its pub date, not the date the book was originally published.

lethe | 16363 comments There is a big delay in deleting/merging at the moment, see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If the author cannot set the default edition, she'll need to contact Support, because librarians cannot do this.

Merry wrote: "For the ACE (Kindle editions in this case), I used the date for the corresponding ASIN on Amazon. These books were published a couple of years ago. Is that right?"

No, it's not. That is the date the original edition (with the original cover) was published. For ACEs, we use the date the cover was changed. For most, the current month and year is close enough.
