I am the author of all three, so I am pretty sure they go together ;)

[Avionne]

this issue has been fixed. Thank you :)

do not! change the titles - they are correct as they are per GR policy.
And do not move an ASIN to another edition or remove a librarians note for an ACE that's violation of GR policy and may led to a loss of your GR author status

I reverted your title changes and other edits against policy
edit: and the pub date of an alternate cover edition is the date when the new cover was published - not the original date. (or in case we don't know the date of new cover the actual year and month)

[Avionne]

my humblest apologies sir

[Avionne]

is it in keeping with GR policy if i re-add the excerpt for one of the books?

since you only deleted it from the first book in the series and not the second or third i am uncertain as to the policy regarding this since book 1 and 2 were added by librarians

[Avionne]

to clarify, u deleted it from the current version of the book which i set as the default and not the obsolete one.

[Avionne]

also u removed the asin from the new version of book 1 which it links to on amazon and returned it to the original according to GR policy but u left an asin on both versions of book 2. is this acceptable, and if so can it be replaced in book 1 since the older copy doesn't exist so searching for it by asin will be useless?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

The ASIN or ISBN stays with the edition it first had on Goodreads. It does not get moved to newer editions.

[Avionne]

thank u rivka :) can u please aid me as per both issues?

the asin was left on both versions of book 2.

the excerpt was deleted from the description in the new default version of book 1 but left in the obsolete version

Because the two editions have two different ASINs.

Excerpts are not encouraged in book descriptions, but short ones would not be contrary to policy.

[Avionne]

hmm. not too sure what the one that was added in the second book is ...
Your search "B00I864P22" did not match any products. - msg from Amazon.

with regard to the excerpts ... i added them bcuz i included them in the Amazon description. Should i remove them from the others as well so as not to violate any policies here?

[Avionne]

since i seem to have inspired the ire of every librarian at good reads to the point that no one is willing to answer, i have removed them as 'tis better to err on the side of caution ;)

That usually means the edition is out of print. Nonetheless, the ASIN stays, just as an ISBN on an out of print edition would.

[Avionne]

i didn't touch it ...

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Nor did anyone say you did.

[Avionne]

nor did i say that anyone said i did ...

and had your librarian approached me in a civil manner and pointed out my mistakes, i would have responded in a like fashion. instead i was berated like a dumb child with 'do not! change the title ...'

i'll end this discussion by saying that i will have a friend request any future updates on my behalf so that no one here has to deal with the dumb child again.

feel free to have the last word ...

on the other editions was no need as they had different ones and there wasn't one moved.
(I'm not doing not neccessary stuff ;) and it would have been violation of policy to remove it which do put the librarian status at the same risk as the authors status)

Please do not change your author name or the title of the book . that stays also the way it was first published - and all newer editions will need A.C. Moyer as primary author too - even if you would publish them as A.C.
(and to be honest: I wouldn't like to fall into that A.C. profile with lots of other authors books - and as that's a single author name librarians can't disambiguate it from each other - so I would happily stick with the last name)
The title will stay as size zero on these editions wre it actually is the title - it can be "Zero" on the newer editions if they are published that way.

Oh and no Sir ;) (but happens quite frequently so I'm used to it)

Good night (nearly 2am here)

oh and because of the one description: that wasn't on purpose - I undid one because you removed the librarian's note from it I think and add one by just copying an decription I found as former default because there was no "undo" link for it - I didn't remove the excerpt on purpose - it was just not visible while looking at the edits of exactly this edition.

[Avionne]

um. who is AC Moyer?

[Avionne]

saw ur email. thank u for adding the paperbacks for wilde ones :)

and trust me, i do understand. i have three dogs and tend to call them by each other's names when i'm busy :P :D lol

and while everyone who uses this site appreciates all the work and recognizes that u do it out of a genuine love for books, some should remember that hostility and rudeness are often met with hostility and rudeness. a polite and kind word can move mountains :)

Yes, Tim is correct I mixed up a bit (thankfully I mentioned the other author or it would have looked a bit crazy ;) )
But, the part with the description and the beginning is still correct - just the middle part doesn't belong here.

I have tabs open of things which might pop up again, need a further look at or aren't finished yet and it happened that your tab was next to the other one and in addition - the cover of that other book is b/w - as your avatar and your both starting with A ...
And I'm correcting some author names with initials atm (a space were it shouldn't missing periods such stuff) so... I really didn't get it :D
(plus I did a revert on the other books just seconds before reading your thread)
Sorry for the mixup.

And i didn't forget you, but I killed my smartphone last night before going to sleep and spent the whole day in trying to getting it out of a bootloop, so saw the amount of new answers but didn't have time to deal with something that might need just more explanation and longer posts (and as english isn't my first language I might need a little more brain and time to write explanatory postings as maybe Tim does ;) )

I think you are referring to msg #3. In Lachgas's defence, I am positive she didn't mean to be hostile or rude. In my experience, typing on an iPad (or smartphone) tends to make answers shorter and seemingly more blunt than typing on a PC. She just wanted to make you aware of GR policy :)
