Please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3... And 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.
As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile.
Here are the instructions: How to set the default edition.
#973 not sure about that one. Amazon lists an audiocassette with the same title and an isbn.#974 Both Amazon series pages (there was another one) merged into actual Kindle bundle. After merging, re-added both and NAB-ed them to prevent re-import from Amazon.
#975 Merged. After merging re-added and NAB-ed to prevent re-import from Amazon.
#982-984 done
#986 combined and merged
#987 I can't tell. Anyway, the Untitled edition has an isbn, so will not be deleted. It can be updated (and combined) when more details are known. Please start a new thread if you have more information, as it is off topic for this thread.
#988-991 done
#992 For these four editions, there are two different covers. Separated two editions. For both covers, one duplicate is merged. Two editions recombined.
#993-994 done
#995 Both editions have a valid isbn, and seem to be added by the author.
#996-1001 done
#1004-1016 done

- please read message 1 of this thread. This is for deleting duplicates.
- I can't read Arabic.
- how where these articles published? In a newspaper? Magazine? Online? Where they collected somewhere in a book?
- I'm very hesitant deleting books or other items from GR (as opposed to merging, where a duplicate is merged into a valid edition, and shelvings/ratings/reviews are all transferred). Deleting will also delete shelvings/ratings/reviews. I'd rather refer to GR Staff for issues like that.

There are two editions of The Fall of the King by Stacey Marie Brown. The author has asked me to have the one without any ratings to be deleted. Thanks! This is the incorrect one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
#1027 The edition you linked is actually a valid Kindle edition (with ASIN); the other edition is a placeholder edition with only title and cover. That placeholder is merged now.
please see #1019 before the thread is closed :-)
duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...(seems like the pub date on the isbn edition is wrong according to amazon for that ISBN https://www.amazon.com/Mockingjay-Hun...)
recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
#976 and #977 (with a follow-up discussion of #978-971 & #985) are also still unresolved. (I am bringing this up, because it looks like they have been missed. If this is not the case, I apologise.)
#1031 etc.The short answer is that absence of proof is not proof of absence. We won't merge an edition with an ISBN except in Very rare cases. So skipped, not missed.
Arenda is working on #1019 so leaving that and #1030 alone.
I understand. I supposed that is probably the reason, but wanted to be sure. However no one mentioned #976. Are not those two books (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) duplicates?
#1033 - That is a mess now. I can't see where you moved the ISBN from and to. Can you please link all the editions concerned?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
#1034The ISBN of the first edition is 9789544464913 (I checked my phisical copy of the book; you can see photos of it here and here ).
The edition with the new cover is only one, was published in 2016 and uses the same ISBN, as it can be seen in the photo.
This is why it has been marked as ACE, but it appears twice on Goodreads , of which this has a mistaken year of publishing (2001 was the year of the first edition ).
This is why I think both editions here should be merged and then combined with the work here .
