This is not something Goodreads Librarians can assist you with. You'll need to use the Contact Us link on the Help page.

Midwest Geek (midwestgeek) | 124 comments The Lost Torah of Shanghai
There are two paperback entries for this book, each with the same isbn-13 but with differing isbn-10. According to amazon.com, the correct isbn-10 is 0984493921. Please combine ratings, and delete the incorrect edition merge.

Monika, this is the wrong thread for your request. Also, since you have only written two books as opposed to the 14 that should be moved, please contact support (at) goodreads (dot) com and ask them to move you and your two books to a new profile instead.

Did you see there is another one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...?

#69 done

#70 edition with truncated isbn merged (not yet recombined due to question).
As for the edition without isbn, this story was published in English as part of a book with multiple stories: http://www.worldcat.org/title/piebald...
(Not yet on GR, and isbn seems to be used also for another book.) User who added it has a link to this page: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/...
I suggest adding the English edition and merging the duplicate into that edition if you agree.

#87 I can't confirm this cover belongs to this isbn. Publisher might have a different edition, with only last three digits of the isbn different.
#88 done
#92-94 done

#95 Done. Please remember to separate both editions when the duplicate edition should be merged into an edition that is not the default.
Also, please leave a change comment for explanation (at the bottom of the edit page) when uploading a better quality cover.

#96 done
#97 Looks like it is gone already
#98 done, repeating earlier comment: Please remember to separate both editions when the duplicate edition should be merged into an edition that is not the default.
#99 that one only needed combining, not merging. Merging means deleting on GR. See the title of this thread. Next time, please start a new thread for combine requests.

#107 no merge, covers are different. Removed the invalid isbn's and marked that edition as alternate cover edition.
#108-110 done

#111 Please remember to separate the duplicate(s) with the valid edition when it has to be merged into an edition that is not the default edition.

#112 We don't just delete editions. Since this edition has an ASIN and is not an Amazon or Kindle edition, the ASIN should not be on the GR listing. Found the matching valid edition with the same publisher and publication year: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Merged into that valid edition and recombined.

#113 not done, covers are different.
(And when editions need to be merged, make sure the duplicate and the valid edition are combined, as that is the only way to transfer the shelvings/ratings/reviews).

#115 done
#117-120 done
#123-124 done

Quoleena Sbrocca (qjsbrocca) I was supposed to check back in regarding this. Two paperback editions from two different distributors were auto-generated into the system today.

I’m wondering if it’s possible just to delete these two auto-imported editions since I already created a ppbk version and set it as the default. Please let me know. Thanks!

Here’s my original thread about this: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
