☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments this should probably be deleted https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... - couldn't find a mention on authors amazon page (how can it be a kindle than?) and none on authors homepage
ah as mentioned on the FB page it's only available if you're on authors mailing list https://www.facebook.com/aehowe/posts...
do it should be deleted per GR standards.
(wasn't sure into which it should be merged (first or last of series) so I didn't combine it atm)

#719 done
#720 seems to be done already
#721-725 done

#726 not done. Just because an isbn can't be found online now doesn't mean it was never used. This edition was added in 2013 by a user who added all details, including cover, isbn, publisher, format and even a link to the publisher.

#727-729 done

#730 Done.
Next time if it might happen again that an incomplete book is added and you can't add the other details to it, please start a new thread here in the librarians group and ask if a librarian can update the incomplete edition. That is much easier than merging two incomplete editions.

Arenda | 26447 comments #746 reverted a cover change (covers were different and one was changed). Merged the duplicate with truncated isbn.
#747 done
#750 done
#755-759 done
#760 not done, can't confirm that the elongated cover wasn't used for the ebook edition.
#761-765 done

#766 not done, maybe start a new thread asking for staff opinion?

#768 the first link is actually the valid edition (with isbn). I've reverted the cover change on the edition without isbn and merged the duplicate.
If the book was also published with the other cover (note: the logo in the top right corner was different for the cover you uploaded), a new edition should be added instead of changing an existing edition.

This specific edition is the result of a partnership between a publisher and a Brazilian bookstore chain. On the the link he put (http://www.livrariasaraiva.com.br/pro...) you can see the product code from this book: 3710059. Now, the link is "broken" but if you search for the same product code on the seller website you will find the book (http://www.saraiva.com.br/doutor-faus...). On this page you can see the correct ISBN for the edition. To me seems very suspicious that the ISBN he put is only two digits different from the correct one, plus the fact you can't find that ISBN on any other place than GR, not even in the Brazilian National Library website.

message 792: by Arenda (last edited May 25, 2017 09:10AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #775 The description says "originally written for the anthology" which implies it might have also been available separately. Leaving for someone else to decide.
#776 one duplicate merged
#777 combined, all have different isbn/cover

#778 No delete. Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have.
Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition, which has been done.

message 793: by Arenda (last edited May 25, 2017 10:09AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #780-781 done
#782 done (of course the other four books from this collection were also added as separate books, also done)
#783-786 done
#787-789 done

#790 reverted the isbn move and queued merged the edition with the truncated isbn for merging. Please don't remove truncated isbn/move isbns prior to a merge. It only makes it more difficult to determine if it is a valid merge. And in this case, the truncated isbn was only shelved by two users, and was missing one of the authors, where the valid edition was shelved by more than 100 users.

#791 as there is no edition to merge into, leaving for someone else to determine

#792 combined. Both are valid editions, and GR does not delete editions that are no longer available. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
