Arenda | 26447 comments #5-7 two editions with truncated isbn and identical cover merged. We can't merge editions with a different cover. Unless the cover is for a different book, or from a bookseller, we can't change it. If another cover has the same isbn, an alternate cover edition has to be created. Proving that a certain cover and an isbn don't belong together is impossible. See other threads here in the Librarian Group.
#8-9 done
#11-16 done
#17 done (reverse merge (moving isbn's) due to the large number of shelvings 10.000)
#18 combined. Merging is deleting a duplicate edition.
#19-23 done (#21 re-added and NAB'ed)
#24 Wattpad ebooks are considered published by Goodreads. Please contact Goodreads Support if you think these don't belong on GR.
#25 placeholder cover on valid Kindle replaced with actual cover from Amazon, moved to author page, combined, and merged.
#26 Done. Please make sure the duplicate is combined with the edition it should be merged into. Only separate both editions when the duplicate should be merged into an edition that is not the default edition.
#27 not done, covers are different (cd image right bottom)
#28 done, but please leave a change comment (at the bottom of the edit page) when uploading a better quality cover
#29 done
#30 most podcasts are not allowed. Since deleting will delete all reviews, I'd like a confirmation that this can indeed be deleted.
#31-32 done
#33 not done, covers are different (text just above image)
#34-38 done
#39 same book as #40, done
#41 done
#42 two editions merged (one bookseller cover, one without cover). The other edition, with isbn10, has a different cover (text right under) than the one with isbn13.
#43-49 done
#50 not done, covers are different ("afterword by Dan Chaon")
#51 done, not yet recombined, see #52
#52 done; the ASIN leads to this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I think it should be merged into the mass market paperback; some use paperback for all paperback editions, including mass market; publication year being the only difference is no reason to keep it.
Not yet recombined.
#53-55 done
#56 Amazon cover added to the isbn edition. Duplicate merged.
#57 done
#58 done. No need to remove an (invalid) isbn before requesting a merge. Just mention the isbn is invalid.
#59 one duplicate merged. Merging the other edition will delete the cover.
#60 done
#61 not done, covers are different

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... - I can't find such edition in Russian or English, it must be literal translation of the Russian title, as in this amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/517...

to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (truncated isbn of the Sinhalese edition, which has "To Have and to Lose" on the cover, so I think it's the same book) and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...--

to be combined back to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

lethe | 16359 comments Re #62:

#50 - Good catch! Although I doubt that the cover without introduction was ever released, I have added ACE notes and recombined.

(#51 + ) #52 - Although it linked to the Amazon page, the ASIN on Goodreads was a different one from the one on Amazon, so I don't know if we can assume it is the correct cover and ISBN. There are several Fawcett Crest editions in Goodreads, each with slight variations. See also:

#53-54 - Thanks!

I didn't see that, thanks for noticing. I've recombined both editions.

Hemant Singh | 1 comments Hi my name is Hemant Singh. I have written two books only.
1. According to me
2. Happy Go Lucky - The life and times of a lovable rogue


But the listing show more book. Written by another Hemant Singh I guess.

Can you rectify my account to show only 2 (two) books.

Hi Hemant, this thread is only for deleting duplicate editions. You want books moved off your profile. Please post your request here instead: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Cathy (khiatons-cathy) | 5 comments Could you please delete this excerpt since I've updated the text. It says you no longer take excerpts so I can't update it but I still found this link to an older file I'd like taken down.
It is my book Bricolage

#66 - In Queue Done, BTW, in the future the book needs to be combined with the edition it needs merged with. You only separate editions if there are 2 that need merged, but there are more than 2 editions total, that way they merge with the right edition.

#67 - In Queue Done
