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.

Monika M. (cassiopeia_the_elf) | 20 comments I need superlibrarian:
I combined two copies and now need to delete the one with less info:
good edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
duplicate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (needs to be deleted).

Thanks


message 13: by Arenda (last edited Mar 07, 2017 07:56AM) (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments #12 Not done. That is a valid paperback edition, with isbn. (It is listed on Amazon and Worldcat with this isbn.)

#13 Not done. Ebook and Kindle are considered different editions on Goodreads. Will your book be only available on Amazon? If so, we can merge the ebook edition.
(I have added the cover from Amazon to the Kindle edition.)

#14 queued done
#15 queued for merging done

Can be merged with second most added edition, they share a cover


message 17: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa | 6 comments Hi! I'm wondering if you can delete the following two books? If possible, if it makes sense. I'm (obviously) not the author, but in THIS blog post of hers, she clearly states that the book is a standalone and no longer part of a trilogy. (For those of you who have been following me for a long time and really pay attention to this stuff – YES, this is the first book of what was previously called the Gatlon Trilogy, but now it is a stand-alone. Long story. But I’M SO HAPPY AND EXCITED to finally be sharing stuff about it, yaaaayyyyy!!!) Meaning there is no trilogy anymore. So it would appear that the following two books were created in premature excitement. =)

message 18: by Rae (new)

Rae Else (raeelse) | 25 comments Thank you for adding the cover to the kindle edition (message 13). My e-book is also going to be available through Kobo, ibooks and Barnes and Noble so I guess leaving the e-book edition is the way to go. (Small thing, and don't worry if it's annoying, but the kindle edition like the ebook edition is also 210 pages long.) Don't suppose you can change the length from 209 to 210 pages. Thank you!

Done, can you provide an ISBN for the Kobo edition - got it from Smashwords

Rae Else (raeelse) | 25 comments Hi Paula - thank you! The Smashwords ISBN is 9781370814237

This stray edition is marked as an ACE, but I can see absolutely no difference in the covers.

#30 not done, edition with isbn has no cover. Merging the duplicates would remove the covers.

Update #30/32/34/35: replaced the cover from Abebooks with the better quality from the duplicate edition. Both duplicates done, and recombined

For my own edification, why would the covers not be moved to the ISBN'd edition? They look to be higher quality versions of this: https://www.abebooks.com/products/isb...

Also, if the dups weren't merged into the ISBN'd version, shouldn't they at least be merged into each other?

So much to learn!

Also, there's something weird going on with those covers that I don't quite understand.

You are the one requesting the merge. I can't verify if that cover and isbn belong together. I can search of course, but that is off topic for this thread.
If you verify cover and isbn belong together, why don't you add a cover to the isbn edition?
ETA: or add the lesser quality cover and let the super decide if they are the same cover and asking if the better quality cover can be kept.

Only reviews, ratings and shelvings will transfer when merging books. All other data that might be on the duplicate and not on the valid edition (like page count, publisher, pub. date, translator) will have to be manually added to the valid edition.

Gotcha, that makes sense. My apologies. I've done that (added the lesser quality cover), but I'm seeing broken images all over goodreads, including the added cover.

Julia Morelli (pyritewolf) | 1 comments I was reading up on comics and how they should be entered on Goodreads, and apparently single issues should not exist. If that's correct, this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Should be deleted as it's comprised in this volume: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

On the other hand, this whole collection is made up of single issues: https://www.goodreads.com/series/8174...

can you please delete this boxed set: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It was created automatically by Smashwords, but it contains no new material, it's just a bundle of 3 existing books.

Thank you. :)
