Please delete this book! (pt. 44) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
#681 done(removing data, even when it is incorrect, is not needed when the edition has te be merged anyway, and is often confusing; just mentioning is enough).
#682-696 done
#697 - #699 - Looks like this has already been done.
#700 - Taken Car of by another Librarian
#705 -
#706 -
#707 -
#708 -
#709 - The title says that but the picture says course guide book, and according to the publisher there is a print course guidebook, so for now I will leave it, if somebody else thinks otherwise they can deal with it.
#712 - #718 -
#719 - No, because it was published.
#697 done#698 not done, covers are different. Unless the logo on the isbn-edition is a bookseller logo (or other not acceptable site).
#699 both links go to the same edition. There is a delete in the changelog, so probably done already.
#700 done
#705 the edition you linked to is a valid Kindle edition (with ASIN). The other edition is a duplicate, with identical "cover coming soon" cover as the valid Kindle edition. Placeholder edition without isbn or asin merged.
#706-708 done
#709 merged into edition with best matching cover
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... Truncated ISBN13 in the ISBN10 field, to merge into the default
Hello,please delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The correct edition is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...#
#720 not done, cover change reverted.That a publisher now only lists one cover is no proof the other cover never existed.
#723 not done, googling the isbn gives a result on Smashwords, so it was available there, although it now no longer is.
#724 done
#727 was done by someone else
#728-732 done
#733-734 done#735/630 done. It would be nice if you had combined them/not separated them.
#735/631 done. Please make sure both editions that need to be merged are combined with each other.
#736 not done, reverted a cover change
#737 done

#739-743 done#744 the link to the editions that need to be merged is no longer working, someone has recombined them
#747 duplicate ebook without isbn merged into the ebook with isbn, the other edition is a different format (paperback).
#748 Kindle (with ASIN) and ebook (with isbn) edition combined. Both are valid editions. Ebooks and Kindle editions are considered different editions on GR.
#749 done
#750 not done; I'm not comfortable deleting an edition with isbn
#751 done. I've recombined it with the other editions, but agree they should probably not all be combined. Might be a nice project for someone.
#752/753 corrected format to ebook, as the isbn is available outside Amazon

Please merge this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...And recombine with the main work.
Del Rey and Ballantine are, I believe, both imprints of Random House.
783 (Roberta's request) done (the numbering went off)

#793 it's not the right thread for your request
Any way the book was moved from your profile

#639/#715 and #643/#716 still pending.

Re 749, previously 750 (one entry must have been deleted, the numbering is one off)/788:
Moloch, it is possible that the ISBN was assigned to a later reprint. According to GR, it is OK:
"it is possible for a pre-ISBN book to become associated with an ISBN due to an ISBN being added when/if another printing of the edition occurred after the initiation of ISBNs"
(https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2...)
In my view, the edition should be merged and the ISBN transferred to the edition with the better cover image.
I remain skeptical: there is no trace of this ISBN (which by the way is weird for an Italian book, the first digits should be 88 and not 66) in the Italian National Library System ( http://opac.sbn.it/opacsbn/opaclib no results come up, either for the ISBN10 or the ISBN13), Google only gives a few results, aside from Goodreads all from a bookseller site.I would like a second opinion and, if you don't want to merge, then I'll recombine but I think it's an error

(now 784)
And it looks as if it didn't go through (still no merge).
the one I did is 783 now (it got deleted).784 still undone
As the title of the thread says, please leave deletions for superlibrarians. Often it is difficult enough already to keep track which are done. And the change in numbering isn't helping.
Delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Recombine with: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
Also delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...(same person created another duplicate with just a short review of the book as description ... which I could merge myself because only 1 review)
That may be a duplicate with truncated ISBN https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...exept Lulu is considered as publisher and we cound that (ugly) logo in the cover as ACE
Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and recombine. There is a Kindle edition that remains separated with these 2 pbks; it has too many shelvings for me to separate myself.
803 done805 done
806 done
807 done
numbering has changed, continuing from where I left in #788#753 done
#754 cover added to the isbn edition (makes not much sense to do that after merging, as only duplicates with identical covers can be merged). One duplicate merged. There is also another duplicate, also merged.
#755 not done, cover from Amazon.fr added to the isbn edition, which is a different cover from the non-isbn edition.
#756 separated, merged and recombined
#757 done
#758 done. Next time, please ask to have the edition with errors corrected, which is much less work than creating a new edition and merging the one with errors.
#759 seems to be done already
#760 this thread is for deleting duplicate editions. If you need help combining different valid editions, please start a new thread. (This request was already done by someone else).
#771 not done, covers are different (top right corner)#772 done
#777 done
#781/698 cover with bookseller logo replaced with cover from duplicate. Duplicate merged.
#782 done
#783 seems to be done already

Could you please delete this book, as the title is no longer relevant, neither the image. Many thanks in advance https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Mod
duplicatehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(covers identical, the duplicate one is just a little bit darker but that is due to the quality of the image, and there is a bookseller site watermark on the bottom right corner)
re-combine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
thanks

RE: 749 (previously 750) (this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... )Please let me know if it is decided against merge so I can re-combine
Working backwards#822 Pending
#821 First is not a duplicate - same cover but have reverted the ISBNs removal and removed the watermarked cover.
#821 Second is pending in two stages.
#820 Merging into record with higher quality cover and more data.
more or less info less duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...can go into default and should be - according to the author - a kindle edition (created prior to bot puts the asin kindle on the default)

Thank you Lachgas, that's exactly why I asked on this forum for clarification. And it seems I also misread something within the manual (it was late :P). And I understand now. Thanks to all! :)
