#171 As it now has an ASIN, it will not be deleted. If you have questions if that was a valid change to add that ASIN to that edition, please flag the changelog for GR Support.

#173 not done. According to Amazon it looks like it is a (second hand?) comic listing with an ASIN and 160 pages, not a Kindle edition with 23 pages?

Not done.

Please start a new thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/new?c...) and ask to have these books moved from your profile.
This thread is for deleting duplicate editions, not for moving books to another author profile, see also message 1 of this thread:

Arenda | 26448 comments #176 done
#177 not done, the edition without isbn had a note in the description that it shared the isbn with another, different book

#178 done, please note this is an adaptation and should not be combined with the original. Also adapter should be in primary author position.

#179 Please make sure the duplicates are combined with the edition they should be merged into!
Both duplicates merged.

#180 not done (yet). Please separate the duplicate with the edition it should be merged into (when that is not the default edition). Books without an isbn can be a valid edition (like having a unique cover).

#181-184 done

#185 not done (yet). Both isbn editions only have the editors listed, not the contributors. Merging the placeholder will delete all contributors from this book.

#186-188 done

message 210: by [deleted user] (last edited Jun 27, 2017 11:51AM) (new)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... short story only
I combined with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
according to here: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cg... it's the first book it was published in and I can't find evidence of it ever being published as a stand alone.

EDIT: Un-combined based on msg #242. I don't care to further research or babysit it.


message 213: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyunderpants) | 668 comments Please merge into the default: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It's Not A Book, but there's no ISBN associated. Unless it needs to be sent to support for deletion?


message 214: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., short story only available to newsletter subscribers; see this comment.

Joseph (josephuk) | 259 comments Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

One has invalid ISBN.


message 217: by Joseph (new)

Joseph (josephuk) | 259 comments Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

I updated to reflect the appropriate cover for this specific ISBN, this is a limited special edition. The former cover was from the regular edition whose ISBN is 8575038419.


message 220: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #215 - Those covers are different one is brown and one is black, so it has been left alone.

I did #228 but Michael, this thread is for a very specific purpose. Read message 1. You can always start a new thread when in doubt.


message 223: by Cassandra (last edited Jun 22, 2017 10:21AM) (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., as it's only available through account creation/subscription through the author's website https://mlorrox.com/infinite-vampire/...- see #82.

ETA: There is a pbk edition available, which I've added, but the ebook is still only available through the author's website with sign-up for a fan list. I don't know if that makes a difference?


message 224: by Ayshe (new)

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - the ASIN it once had is for Vietnamese paperback on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/More-Than-You-... but most shelvings are after its removal

Michael if your still here, please go to https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... I have a question about why you have two GR profiles and which books go on which

Sorry off-topic. I sent him a PM also

EDIT: He responded if you want to delete these off topic comments

Kevin Klehr (goodreadscomkevink) | 17 comments Is it possible to delete Guy's Romantic Life? I haven't fixed tbe formatting Smashwords requested so I'm sure it's no longer there.

I'm not sure how to convince you, but this is a wrong entry. The ASIN is for a Kindle edition from comixology. See for example https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...


message 232: by Ayshe (new)

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... - no details, can be merged to the default.


message 233: by Kyo (new)

Kyo | 17 comments Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.... After inserting I'm unable to view or edit this volume, nor to open the shelves where I've placed it.
I've created a duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... that works fine, please delete the first one.
Thank you.


message 234: by Roee (new)

Roee | 2177 comments Please delete this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.... It's a partial entry of the same edition of the book.

message 236: by Arenda (last edited Jun 24, 2017 02:15AM) (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments Note: someone has deleted a post, so the numbering is incorrect now

#216 Not done as I'm not sure. (I can already see two versions of this public domain work published online).

#217-218 done

#219 Not done. Calendars are allowed when they have additional content. This one says it is based on the book, so I think it has additional content and is allowed (and should be separated from the book).

#220 leaving for Staff to decide (as the comment you linked to says 'generally')

#221 not done, covers are different (logo on cover). See also this cover from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/857...

#222 Done. Please don't remove data from an edition, even when it is a duplicate.

Arenda | 26448 comments Note: someone has deleted a post, so the numbering is incorrect now

#223 done (Assuming this was an acceptable cover change, as Amazon.com.br has listings for both editions with isbn and cover; and the cover for the special edition was added later by another person than who created the book).

#224-226 done

#230 not done, leaving for Staff to decide

#231 done

#234 one duplicate (without isbn) merged.
(GR does not delete books that are no longer available)

#235 done (although the Amazon book page doesn't mention it is a Kindle edition, only the page with the reviews for asin B00CIGXTG6). And since policy for page counts for Kindle editions is to use the one from Amazon, you might want to consider leaving a librarian note explaining the difference).


message 238: by Arenda (last edited Jun 25, 2017 10:36AM) (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments Note: someone has deleted a post, so the numbering is incorrect now

#236 done

#237 Italian TV-series episode merged.
There might be issues with the ebook, but it has a unique cover, so will not be deleted.

#238-239 done

#240 that link is also not available for me. Please don't create duplicates. Usually this will resolve automatically after some time.

#241 done (this one took quite some time)
#242 done

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - it looks to me that it can be merged to the default
