DESCR:
At key moments in the British working class struggle for rights and freedom black leaders have emerged. This pamphlet is an introduction to that hidden but unbroken thread running through our history. Spanning the centuries from the 1750s to the 1970s, Hassan Mahamdallie brings to life six of these inspiring figures: Olaudah Equiano, who rose from slavery to become one ofthe most prominent campaigners ever against human bondage; Robert Wedderburn, unquenchable revolutionary firebrand of Regency London; William Cuffay, leader ofthe London Chartists; Shapurji Saklatvala, Communist MP for Battersea, jailed during the 1926 General Strike; Claudia Jones, a powerful figure who gave hope to Britain's beleaguered black population ofthe 1950s; and Jayaben Desai whose steely pride pitched her into a historic trade union struggle of the 1970s.
Please combine these 2 editionshttps://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Th...

DESCR:
The Egyptian revolution that began on 25 January 2011 and overthrew Mebarak in 18 days, is by far the most significant of the Arab revolutions. Egypt is not only the most populous of the Arab countries, it also has the largest, most militant and experienced working class in the region. The fate of the ongoing Egyptian revolution will play a major role in determining the future, not only of the wider Arab revolution but also the ability or inability of US imperialism and world capitalism to contain this unprecedented challenge.
What follows is a guide to the causes, developments and prospects of the Egyptian revolution in its first few months.
I think both editions are the same (wrong ISBN on first record). Please mergehttps://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
#457 Added pub details, confirmed by Worldcat. I initially added the details to the blank edition, because I couldn't find a valid cover image source for the other edition to verify it belonged to that ISBN. I then found a cover image on the publisher site with that ISBN, and added the cover image. I merged one empty edition, and will need to request a merge of the other so that we're left with one.
https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...The livermore title is in the search results 3 times, 7, 8, and I think 12.
Thanks!
#465-468 done
#471 solved, not sure if someone else already took care of #470 or I am overlooking something
Results 1 & 3 and maybe 8. I didn't look further than the first page of results though.
#473470: #3 is a study guide about "The House of Mirth", not the book itself. #8 is an audiobook, no info on Amazon or Worldcat for this isbn. Publisher also has "Various" as author.
Hi, I hope this is the right thread. My lastest book, City of Crows, is showing twice in the database. One instance is showing the correct front cover and 2x 5 star reviews (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...). The other shows up when you look at my author dashboard, and has no cover or reviews (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...). Can I just get the cover/ reviews one to show up?
Also, if you click on my author name a few books appear which aren't mine (about baseball (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...), and oil drilling (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)). Can these be removed?
Many thanks for any assistance

#478 Moved the Kindle edition with ASIN and cover to your profile and combined it with the other edition.GR lists Kindle editions with ASIN only, not with isbn.
Question: Is the ebook available elsewhere (in which case the format for the edition with isbn should be changed to ebook), or is it Kindle exclusive (in which case we can merged it into the ASIN edition)?
This thread is fine to ask to have editions combined.
For moving books, or for several issues in one message, it is almost always preferred to start a new thread in the folder Book Issues.
There is also no need to move books, as the other books are not on your profile, but on a different author profile, for an author also called Alex Marks. (I did move the Kindle edition of Queen Mary's Stair and other stories to your profile and combined it with the paperback edition).

I found a duplicate entry for "The Vanished" by Bill Pronzini. The duplicate is listed under Bill bill Pronzini. (Oddly enough, it has a higher rating than the real entry!)
#480 found the book, corrected the author and combined it with the other editions: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...Next time, a link to the book is appreciated.
Translations are fun:These are all the same book, just translations, and slightly altered titles for North America vs Europe:

The Dutch version is the original, the rest are translations.

edit: three apparently:

Though they seem to have different pub. years.
I'm the author of Santiago Sketches (see http://www.salmonpoetry.com/details.p... for reference).There are two identical editions listed on goodreads. Please combine them. Thanks so much, DMcL.:

There are two pages for the same book :https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
One has all the paperback and hardcover editions, the other page has the ebook edition. I believe these should be combined.
I need advice on combining books which are apparently same book, but different titles: Eternal Frontier and The Eternal Frontiers.Should I combine them? (I'd normally just do it, but I want to make sure in case I shouldn't be.)
Also, sometimes I notice some librarian comments appear on the combine page (such as saying don't combine a short story with a collection or novella of the same name). But my librarian comments about combining/separating editions never appear there. What is the proper way of making it show up there?

There is a difference between "librarian comments" and "librarian notes".
Librarian comments are added when editing a book, and will show in the librarian changelog, especially used to explain when changing things like page count and cover.
Librarian notes are added at the top of the edit page, for info that is important for other librarians, and has to be permanently visible, like on the combine page.
Since the titles of these books are so similiar, adding a librarian note is a good idea. Please go ahead an try if adding a librarian note is working for you.
#497 done, although the link you provided is not working for librarians. You are the only one who can see your dashboard.

Ah! Somehow I hadn't stopped to wonder about that "Add a Librarian Note" link, even though I've seen it many times, just casually sitting there under the changelog link.
I did separate & recombine one edition that was combined incorrectly, and I added a proper librarian note.
My next step will be to try to update the descriptions...
Thanks for the help and advice!
Hi there, I'm new here. I believe these books need to be combined: https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=ho...
Thank you!

Oh, I see you already updated the descriptions—thank you!

Done! Thanks for the heads up!

No problem.
It is always fine to ask for a second opinion or clarification.
You librarian note looks fine, and is visible on the combine page!
