Can't find it on the copyright page on the Kindle edition either. Drat! Hopefully it'll turn up in something else soon (or they'll re-release old issues with ASINs as other LitJnls have done)...

You did the merge as linked, but the target has no ASIN. Did you want to merge that single issue into this anthology?

#359 - I wanted to discuss before I did that as it would be harder to undo...#360-361 Queued and heading home now.
Re: #357/359, etc. ;-)There seems to be duplication of issue numbers for Crossed Genres. I think we should revisit at some time, but I'm not up for that at this moment in time.
Crossed Genres happily shelved for a few weeks then ;)

that seems to me as if it will go away, but am happy to leave it if you think so. However, the default should probably be merged with the secondary edition that has a cover.
Queued to ##373Re #374 I personally would leave Internet Archive versions alone as they're intended to be stored in perpetuity. How realistic that hope is, is a different matter!
With this one I think I'll do some fiddling because the Book View Café version was published previously, just isn't available now. Same as happens with many ebooks. BUT I think the duplicate should be merged with Nightmare and a crossref link put from the Book View Cafe version and a note for Librarians. Manic day today but will get to that before bed if possible.

I actually did more yesterday than it looks - some of the stories had 5 or fewer adds and I could merge them myself. Little old independent me! :-)

That may do it for Nightmare Magazine. When you've finished, I'll go run through the list again to double check.
Queued the first ones of those up to #380.And all should be gone now.
Looks as if we got them all! I'll start working on the Award in 314.
#384 He was Paul and is now queued to be no longer :)
Lightspeed Magazine, August 2012 The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species, to mergehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I chose to put the WFSA award on this anthology rather than the Clarkesworld edition where it was first published because I thought readers were more likely to recognize it here. Amaryllis and Other Stories
However, as you'll see, the default needs to be merged with an edition with identifiers; there is a Kindle without identifiers; and lastly, there is an edition that is just the short story without an ID so should also be merged. Takes a super - and I'm not at all certain you would have wanted me to separate out anything!
#388 Looking at it now :)If you have a moment could you check this as well (awards): https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Got through the New Year and now combine is working again. Almost finished with the WFSA award.The Line Between El Regalo, to merge
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I got everything I could of the WFSA. I enjoyed working together on this project. If you see more like this, I'm here to help.
Lightspeed Magazine, January 2012 A State of Variance, to Mergehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(I just found that this was a thing, I'll come back with any I find.)
Authors Karen Russell and Aimee Bender each have a few short stories that need to be merged with their collections.
Hi Dylan,I'm happy to merge any more of these anyone finds BUT please combine them with the relevant main issue before posting otherwise we can't merge them. On Goodreads all merges need targets, which means the book (or journal issue here) that they should be merged into. This ensures we don't lose any readers' reviews. I've got #392 though.
Message #17 is a rough guide to how to do these sorts of combine+merge requests :)
not sure if I'm overlooking something but isn't that non ASIN kindle just a duplicate? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
#395 Queued#396 - Quite probably! I've merged a fair few of those...
And this "Nature" thing is a magazine too? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

☕ Lachgas ♿ wrote: "Strange Horizons is also a magazine right? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... so that will need a merge too I assume?"Yes, but Strange Horizons doesn't seem to have ASIN/ISBN Id's. I wanted a target for this (note the award), but didn't have one. I chose to leave it hoping it would get one. Maybe I was just being lazy, but as there is so much work to be done anyway ...
