#211 Goodreads does not delete valid editions that are no longer available for sale - we are a database not a bookseller.
#210 This thread is for deleting editions, not for combining them.

this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20618148-1q84-book-2 seems to be the most popular English edition to merge into, but it looks "suspicious" too (no ISBN, maybe wrong cover?)
thanks

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Individual comics without ISBN. These were never released individually with ISBN or ASIN so should be merged with the first book to collect them which is:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
Which collected the "Brightest Day" Birds of Play #1-6
that looks like a duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...should merge automatically in the correct kindle if I see that correct
#214-222 done
#223 The suspicious looking one is part of a box set, no isbn for each book, only for the box set (according to Worldcat).https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/034...
There are multiple copies of the suspicious looking one, and I'm starting to wonder if the books were even published separately in English.
I was thinking that too because it's strange that no English edition comes up among the most popular ones. Maybe you can merge into the default then?
Moloch wrote: "I was thinking that too because it's strange that no English edition comes up among the most popular ones. Maybe you can merge into the default then?"According to Wikipedia, the American editions were published as either 1 book (hardcover or paperback) containing all three original books, or a box set containing all three books. The British editions were published in two volumes, first containing book 1 and 2, the other containing book 3, and in a single volume.
There seems to be an English audiobook edition of book 2: http://www.worldcat.org/title/1q84-bo...
Other than that, there is no indication there is/was an English edition in hardcover, paperback or ebook that only contains book 2. (And I'm aware absence of evidence doesn't mean such an edition never existed, but I'm pretty sure.) At least for the editions that are part of the box set it is clear where to merge them.
For book 1 and book 3 there are also editions that are actually part of the box set, that also will need to be merged into the actual box set edition.
I don't have enough time today to sort them out, but made bookmarks for all editions that need to be merged. Maybe tomorrow.
ETA: not done yet, it is on my list of projects.
#226 leaving for someone else to decide#228-229 done
#230 done (after separating them to make sure it merges into the correct edition, as the default seemed to differ depending on which page you looked)
Hello, I've posted #157 and #203 and keep getting missed. Am I making the wrong request?
Francisco wrote: "Hello, I've posted #157 and #203 and keep getting missed. Am I making the wrong request?"All three editions of the book mentioned in #157 and #203 are valid editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
There was a response for 157: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The two editions mentioned are the same book. I manually added the one I'd like deleted. It's an ebook, which I later learned needed to be identified by ASIN not ISBN. The link to Amazon.com will not work because of this as Amazon doesn't recognize it. Deleting a duplicate seems sensible. The two are not different editions. They are the same book.
Hi,This book has 2 paperback editions. According to Amazon, there's only one:
Undertow
Undertow
I believe the second one has the correct number of pages (424), but the first one has the correct ISBN.
Here is the link for the paperback edition
https://smile.amazon.com/Undertow-B-C...
Thanks!
duplicate with no further info https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...separated/combined it with the most popular Granja version
has to be recombined with the rest of "A Painted House" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - the "лабиринт" on cover is from this bookseller site: https://www.labirint.ru/
#248 pending per other thread#247 queued. That's a hard to see watermark!
#246 no merge - added B00HAHG2KI as the Amazon ASIN for the same work (Audible works often end up with two, as the Amazon and Audible site versions don't match)
#245 queued, and now recombined
#244 Agreed - pending
#243 pending
#242 Valid different ISBNs on both records. No merge. Just because a book isn't available for sale now, doesn't mean it never was.
#241 merged data and now pending
#240 pending
#239 pending
#238 - As Arenda says, all three are valid editions. Goodreads views Kindle editions and ebook editions as different, in the same way that a different binding makes a different edition (hard/paper/spiral etc.). No merge.

Up to date to here
please delete this book it is all wrong! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I wanted to add this
https://www.amazon.com/Bano-Hulia-Gre...
Please remove this book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It does not exist. A few days ago, the author, Ruby Dixon, wrote on her Facebook page that Amazon is selling that book, but is not hers, and for the cover is used picture of Luis Royo .

Just saw another 'Ruby Dixon' story pop up on Amazon. It's clearly designed to mislead because it's also using the names of my narrators and the style of the audio covers. (And some Luis Royo art, but that's besides the point)
It's not me, guys! I've filed to have it removed but please do not purchase thinking it's me. I would never charge 2.99 for a short story. 😝
If I do put out a short story I'd tell you all about it first.
