One picture has book waist, a piece of paper with commercial words, that can be taken away easily. Remove the piece of paper, it would be totally same as another picture. That commercial paper is very common in Japan, Taiwan and China.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Merge with default? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Has an invalid ISBN that appears to have a version of the ISBN10 of the edition to be merged into?

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments To preface, I'm so sorry. It's the Twilight 10th anniversary thing in German, where they sold it as a flip book, so 2 books in one volume.

This one has the ISBN: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This one has the correct cover, and according to the publisher, the correct number of pages (to be merged): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
These two are the twilight halves, added by the same person twice (to be merged): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And this one has no cover and a truncated ISBN13 (to be merged):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

ETA: Please recombine with this, which, painfully, will also probably need to be merged with something else: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Alex | 2736 comments #100 Not done. Those are definitely different covers. Since it was uploaded before publication, it may be an ARC? Or simply never used...
#101 Queued for deletion. Done.
#102 Queued for deletion. Done.
#103 Queued for deletion. Done.
#105 Queued for deletion. Done.
#74/81/106 Oh, I see. Removed cover with commercial strip, removed ACE notations, added cover from duplicate (matched with amazon but without "copyrighted material" watermarks) and queued duplicate for deletion. Done.
#107 Agreed, queued for deletion. Done.

#108 I've corrected the record with the ISBN, and queued all the duplicates for deletion. (ETA: Done and awaiting #170 for re-combination). Didn't look into the last book. If you figure out what it's supposed to be merged with please post. :)

ETA: My posts corrected for deleted posts (previous post #78, 89).


message 106: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and recombine. The ISBN on the edition to be merged is only for Kindle edition, and was mistakenly added by the author instead of the ASIN, per this conversation https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Alex | 2736 comments #110 Queued for deletion. Done and re-combined.
#111 Queued for deletion. Done.
#112 That is a link to a user profile, not a book, or author. The reason you can't delete that book is probably because it's the only edition of that book and deleting it would completely remove it from the database instead of merging.

ETA: Post corrected for deleted post (Previous post #89).

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #119 nabed the second one. Clearly was a board game.
Not sure about the first at the moment so won't touch
Eta: per WorldCat doesn't look like a game. Seems to be a book

Krazykiwi | 1767 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into the one it's separated with.

Duplicate with no info but matching cover and translator. Was an asin in the description, but this is a paperback, so probably a second hand vendor.


message 116: by Alex (last edited Mar 07, 2017 09:53AM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #115 Working on this... There had been a bad cover change on the original record, which I reverted and then noted the duplicate as an ACE.
#116 The edition you wanted to delete is the one with the ISBN information. As per GR policy, I have instead corrected its data and, after separating with the unrelated editions, have queued for deletion. Done and re-combined.
#117 Queued for deletion. Done and re-combined.
#118 Queued for deletion. Done.
#119/120 Completed record for 1st one based on worldcat. Thank you for finding that Lachgas!
#121 There had been a bad cover change for the edition you provided. I reverted it, modified the blank edition into an ACE and re-combined it. I then found duplicates of the original cover and queued those for deletion (here).

Alex | 2736 comments #123 Queued for deletion. Done.

It is a an unidentified duplicate of

message 123: by [deleted user] (new)

This is not my book, could you please remove it from under my author name? It must be a different Luke Young

message 124: by Rose (new)

Rose (raddevlin) | 17 comments There should only be one English Kindle edition of this book. I believe the edition that lacks an ASIN is a clone entry that can be deleted.

The web url for the book (https://imagecomics.com/comics/releas...) has an Amazon link to default edition (same ISBN). "Premiere" is another way of saying "Deluxe."

Please recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 131: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments This one seems to be a duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Eventually from a kindle version because if I read the changelog correctly someone removed that format. (Didn't seperate yet in case I'm wrong)
Asin version and ace both exist.

message 135: by Alex (last edited Mar 10, 2017 06:51PM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #135 Queued for deletion. Done and re-combined by someone else.
#136 There was a cover change, which I reverted and noted the other as ACE. However, it's troubling me, because the cover seems to be for another edition. It was uploaded by the Amazon bot a month before publication, before being changed.
#137 Queued the truncated ISBN in ASIN field for deletion. It is the default, so the rest will have to wait for this merge to resolve. (ETA: Done. Queued rest for deletion. Done and these have been re-combined by someone).
#138 Corrected the title. All else being the same, I think matching cover trumps matching publication date, so this should probably go with the other group.
#139 Agreed, undid format change. Not necessary to separate because Kindle Edition is most popular. Queued for deletion. Done.
#142 Removed unused cover and commented. Queued for deletion. Done.

Melissa (yabookshelf) | 14 comments Hi,

Chris Cannon's Fanning the Flames has erroneously been added to two separate author profiles.

This is the correct one by the correct author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Can you remove / merge this one by the wrong author to the above listing: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thanks!

Alex | 2736 comments #144 Melissa, this is not the thread for this request. As explained in the first post, it is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates-- the books you have pointed out have different formats and identifiers. Please start a new thread in this folder.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with your edit. The cover you reverted to is not for another edition, it's for another book entirely (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) "Volume 1".

The Deluxe/Premiere edition, which is the book in question, is comprised of Volume 1 and Volume 2, which is why it's called Book One, and why it's twice the length.

Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and undo your last edit for the default edition.


message 140: by Alex (last edited Mar 07, 2017 10:14AM) (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #147 Thank you for clarifying that. I believe this does make the cover demonstrably wrong, so I have replaced it and queued the duplicate for deletion. Done.
