Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #32 - Done, if this keeps happening you may want to request a multi-space profile.

Also, this type of request does not belong in this thread, you wanted the books moved off your profile, not deleted/merged with other editions, that is something any librarian could have done.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #41 - In theory it can be removed, but I hate doing that when there are reviews and nothing to merge it into.

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Two pbks, this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... is marked as an ACE for https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., which has the ISBN. The only difference in the edition with the ISBN is that the cover reads "Advance Reader Copy." Can that cover be replaced with the actual cover, and then merged with the edition marked as an ACE, or is this one of those instances where the ISBN should be moved to the other edition and then designated as an ARC?

David Raz (davidraz) | 13082 comments Re: #41 I hate to do that too, but what do you suggest to do? Leave it there against policy? Why it and not the 7,000 other individual comics? Either this is policy or it's not.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #57 - When was the last time you tried, because if it said it was going to do it, we do not want to throw it back in the queue, that really slows things down.

Or did you just get a message saying you were not allowed to do it.


message 69: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #41/61 - I usually leave them for staff. You could post it to the NOT A BOOK thread, and they should take care of it.

Which thread is that?


message 71: by Renske (last edited Apr 18, 2017 10:23PM) (new)

Renske | 12223 comments 68 There must have been a 'not allowed' message as the editions were not combined and the real duplicate needed a super-librarian.

Good one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30122647-alfredo

The bad version has the isbn13 missing from the good version. I cannot add the isbn13 to the good version as long as the bad version is online. Thanks

Kindle edition and ebook are distinct formats, and should not be merged.

Even if the author has specifically requested it? Essentially when you search the book title both are coming up. She only wants one entry for the book, as has been done with the rest of the books in the series.

Perhaps the request is better phrased : please merge Ebook into the kindle per author's request.

Authors have to follow Goodreads policies too. An ebook with an ISBN is a distinct edition from a Kindle edition with an ASIN, and the two should no be merged.

Just combined, which was already done.

No, different formats are never merged, but combined. The ebook has an ISBN, the Kindle edition an ASIN.

When I search for the title, the three different parts come up. I don't see two editions of the same part come up.
