The record might be from 2011 because that's when the first book was published (and I'm guessing books 2 and 3 were in the works)... but yes, the book was published in 2014. I still think https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... should be merged
please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (no isbn) and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and combine backabout #606, if someone is able to check the Twilight etc extras, I just remembered that rivka mentioned to be careful that one merge has gone through before doing the next one...
please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (cropped isbn) into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and combine back thanks!
Hello! I hope someone has some time to help with this. There are two identical editions of my book, if they could be merged, that would be great!Original: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Duplicate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thank you!

I would like Staff to see the changes though which may not show once the merge has gone through. Therefore leaving #635 until Rivka or another staff member has been able to take a look.
please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (no isbn) into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and combine back, thanks!

Oh, cool! Thank you!
This is a duplicate listing for my book that is already active. Duplicate listing: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The correct listing of the book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Also, there are is a rating from someone who has not read the book. The book is not currently released and only a few people have been given ARCs and this person is not one of them. It might have been an accident when they were marking 'want to read', but can I have their rating removed since it's not based on my book? https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...
Thank you,

an amazon feed seems to have imported several times an edition of the 4 Twilight books as a pack (no isbn) so please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
into the paperback edition that does have isbn
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
and combine back with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
thanks!

So far, no merge. I have definitely had trouble in the past when trying to merge Twilight editions. I think once a book has 500k-plus shelvings, weird things happen. If someone else wants to keep tilting at windmills, be my guest, but I think it's time to post to feedback.

The authors have contacted me about deleting this book ~ it has NOT been published and is NEVER going to be published (I've verified that with them). If additional information is needed, please let me know. Thank you!!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
MSG #653: Shirley wrote: "The authors have contacted me about deleting this book ~ it has NOT been published and is NEVER going to be published ..."The authors should be contacting GR on such matters. Doubt a librarian will just delete an entire book page.
#653 - As Karma says, this is an issue that the author themselves, or their legal representative, needs to contact Goodreads directly to discuss. Give the author the Contact from the About Us page :)
#649 - Separating out that book with others of the same title otherwise it'd have merged into a different language edition!#650 - Reverted changes. No target either, so this would have to go to Support.
#651 - Queued#652 - Got first one. Second one had had some shenanigans in the past which I'm sorting through now... And the NEW edition is now gone, with the old edition regaining it's ASIN, cover and other data which had been blanked out by one of the authors.
#655 - Both queued into main edition

The authors tell me they have contacted GR with no success and they contacted me because they know I'm a librarian. I let them know I could NOT delete for them but would put in the request. They wouldn't request it be deleted if it had been published, but it wasn't and it won't be.
re 606, Twilight, New Moon, and Shade series extras are merged. They are taking FOREVER. And I can't seem to put one merge request through without another just... stalling. Even if it's on a totally separate book by an entirely different author. Anyways, it took me hours of babysitting to get even those done. I'll try to do mroe this weekend, but good lord, these are painful. I'd highly recommend posting in small, tiny, no-more-than-three-extras requests so that multiple Supers can take a whack simultaneously.

Looks like the ISBN-less edition was a pre-pub placeholder. Queued.
Merge this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... please.(Someone incorrectly entered the ASIN in the ISBN13 slot for the first one, so they're actually both the exact same Kindle edition.)
Would you please this version of my book that just appeared on goodreads, it's a duplicate. Thank you. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
665 that is a valid edition. Someone has combined it with the other editions.
Please delete this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and recombine with:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

I'm going to repost the CC extras in smaller chunks. I think I'm going to add librarian's notes to some of the authors are I've seen some extras that we deleted over at the other thread being reposted...

also please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (no isbn) into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... (has isbn) and combine backThe cover has a different font, but it's neither the original cover (this is the one that has the isbn) nor the new pink cover (I suspect that it was a mock-up before publication or something).

the first edition is now titled "Port Fare series" but the title was modified from "Port Fare #3" by the author (who then added a cover and description promoting all 3 books). It hasn't been published as an omnibus.
