For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread. [Non-librarians: Please just note in your requests that you are unable to complete this step.]

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

the cover has too much white borders on the sides, but it's the same


message 6: by ArthurDent (new)

ArthurDent | 2 comments I accidentally added an edition that existed already (with a slightly different title, but the right cover and ISBN).
please delete this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (Gil Scott-Heron, Cannongate, 2017).
The existing/right one is this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (don't delete)
The existing one has an expected publication date in September this year, but I purchased mine on August 18th, 2017 in Olso, Norway (English version). It has a distinct new cover, so I'm sure it is the same as in the second link. I can't find a more specific date in the book than 2017.

Thanks in advance,

Erin | 1 comments Is it possible to link contributors to anthologies without the editors manually adding them? My work was featured in this one, for example, but the editor isn't interested in being on social media right now, so he declined to add any deets: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments #8 yes, every librarian can add contributors
you can just open a new thread in the "book issues" folder and link to the books and mention the names you want to have added (in case you don't want just your name added)

message 22: by Ismail (new)

Ismail | 2202 comments These two books are the same:
this one has a cover photo but a wrong ISBN13 (9789774887521)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and this one does not have a cover photo, but it has the correct ISBN13 (9789774487521)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
the difference between the two ISBNs is one wrong digit
please merge

There is no 1997 edition. I looked up many sites including worldcat, Turkish libraries, publisher's site etc. Book's first translation into Turkish is definitely in 2005.


message 27: by Utopian (new)

Utopian | 224 comments Please merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
isbn10 and isbn13 listed separately.


Soobie is expired (soobiemennym) | 30 comments Please merge this duplicate:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

It doesn't have an ISBN since it was published as a special edition for a newspaper.

The covers have slightly different colors because one was scanned, while the other is an image taken from the publisher's internet page.

To be recombined with: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks

N.M. Lambert (nerdcoleture) | 6 comments Could a super librarian please delete all editions of this book except for the one called Sugar, Spice, and Everything Catastrophic by Melissa M. Futrell? I have no idea who Testy Mctesterson is, but whoever that is has stolen this book without permission. I literally had to go back and make changes, but due to the fact that I am not a super librarian, I cannot delete the other editions of this book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

David Raz (davidraz) | 12724 comments Please merge
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
into
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
And recombine with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

Explanation: this edition had an invalid ISBN and a wrong cover. the edition lists release date 1973.

The ISBN was 0345248228150 which is ISBN 0345248228 (from the 1976 edition) and then the price of that edition 1.50$

The cover has the words "The brilliant classic novel by the author of the Lord Valentine's Castle". Well, Lord Valentine's Castle was first published in 1980 so it does not belong on book released in 1973.
This cover is in fact from the 1980 edition.

So this edition can be either the 1973 edition (per details) the 1976 edition (per botched ISBN) or the 1980 edition (per cover). I chose the first, but if you disagree it can be merged with one of the others, which I listed.


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments according to Ellie this is a duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
needs to be recombined with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... then
(and the "to find it better" merge removed, leave it for now in case it helps you finding it)

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

The covers look slightly different because the edition with more reviews is using a picture of the “art cover”, like a placeholder cover. As one can see on Amazon here this paperback edition doesn't have black lines on the borders.

En attendant Godot has only three editions (if we don't count digital editions) by this publisher (Cosac & Naify) in Brazil:

- Two hardcovers:

Esperando Godot;
Esperando Godot.

- One paperback:

Esperando Godot.

(We don't add new editions when only the publication date is different. 1997 might be the original publication year for this book.)

#27 done (it is not the isbn10, but the last 10 digits of the isbn13).

#28 not done (yet?), cover was changed without leaving a change comment (different cover)

#33 someone had recombined them already. Merged into matching isbn.

Moloch | 3975 comments #28 the cover was incorrect (it was the same as this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... you can see it's from another publisher - Mondadori - so clearly wrong).
I guess who uploaded it just picked the first cover they could find

Please start a new thread, or use this existing thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... if you need help moving books from your profile.
It is off topic for this thread, and can be done by any librarian. See also post 1 of this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
