Ta. :)"

Those covers look different. Alternate cover edition, perhaps?"


No. What you're seeing there is the cover of one of the issues that's collected in this book - Alpha #1: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?pa.... You'll notice that artwork doesn't even have the correct title for the book on it. That particular cover was used as placeholder artwork when the book was initially solicited, before the final cover art had been finished. Very common with comics.

Sorry, should've mentioned that in my initial post. This is just another auto-added dupe from amazon; I've been seeing a lot of those lately.

Thanks.

message 258: by Stefanie (new)

Stefanie (sweety1746) | 5 comments This https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... is supposed to be an alternative cover edition for ISBN 0380815583, but the covers are the same, so the book without ISBN can probably be deleted. (Unless I missed another difference.)


message 259: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments re 275 - cover change reverted - edition stays


Louise The Mac Halo (themachalo2) | 2 comments Please can this book be deleted.

A Little Faith by Emma James. here is the link :
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I know the author and she wants it deleted and she is making some changes and she had to add a new account and request a new author page. I'd be grateful if this could be deleted ASAP for her as she is having kittens ;-)

Many thanks!

Elizabeth (Alaska) These records need merging:

King Richard III
King Richard III (omits the leading zero from the 10-ISBN)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #277 - Please ask the author to use the Contact Us link to talk to support.

#278
a) Sorting the invalid ISBN10 to match the ISBN13 and then setting second edition as Alternate Cover. Both editions now need 1) Author adding in the script of the text, and 2) recombining with the original texts.
b) Alternate cover editions again.
c) Blank edition queued

#279 - Queued (Was a mis-entered author edition that had been left)

#280 - Reverse merging

Hi Emy... She has already been waiting just over 2 days. I said I would see if I could help being a Librarian, but I cant't fix it. She has deleted her account and re signed up to fix the other issue. She is waiting author status now so she can re add her books, but she just needs this one book deleted.

Is it not possible for you to just delete the book?

I don't think data is accurate. Twelve Books does not list this title, and Worldcat says book first pubbed in 2014.

Bruce (brucearrington) Hi,

A book suddenly appeared on list shelf that I published through Amazon only and then removed it completely. I don't want it on my shelf as I did not register it on Goodreads, and just the name can give off the wrong message. Thanks!

Bruce, it's a valid published book, and it is by you. So I'm sorry to say, it will be staying.


message 280: by Alicia (new)

Alicia (writeralicia) | 15 comments I'm not sure of the protocol for this. But I think this book should be deleted, please: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....

I'm listed as the author, but my publisher and I have postponed it indefinitely--meaning there are no longer plans for completion and publication. It has been removed from the publisher's website and will be removed from mine shortly.

Ashley E | 416 comments Working on 295-296. These have been combined, but the books could probably use a little more work. Ugh.

Alysa H. | 19 comments Please delete this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It is an exact duplicate of this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The former has a "fake" isbn, i.e., the same isbn-13 as the latter, but missing the first digit (so there are only 12 digits).

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #298 - You will need to contact Support using the Contact Us form.

#300, #301, #303 - Queued
#302 - Although flagged as ebook with a partial ISBN13, there is no record anywhere of it being released as an ebook in any format OTHER than Kindle. Merging.


message 290: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #306 - Needs combining before merge can take place. Combine still unavailable.
#307 - Queued as into main edition.

Andrea (andrea_b) | 571 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (from a wonky amazon import, no isbn) needs combining and merging into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (and then re-combine with other editions)
thanks!


message 292: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #309 - Left until combine is up as will need a target for the reviews to pass on to.

Netgalley counts as a valid edition, usually we just mark them as an ARC edition.

Corrected author name to Goodreads standard. I see that there is already a record for the ARC; I will merge the two once combine is back up.

thanks!

Sheena (sheenahutch) | 6 comments I don't know how I have so many editions of my book! It won't let me un-combine them. I would like to delete all of the old cover and I should only have two editions one Kindle and one Paperback.
Can someone please look into this. thank you!

Sheena, 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. See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....

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's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
