Alisha ‘Priti’ Kirpalani (alisha_kirpalani) | 23 comments Hi. I just uploaded my new novel 'Out With Lanterns' to my dashboard. It is to be released on 21st December 2017. The system has changed the date to 21st January 2017. I would like the book to be urgently deleted from the database. Is it possible to list a book before publication?

Gjuro (gjuroszlikovski) | 101 comments #205 - Expected publication: December 21st 2017 by Readomania
It seems that everything is OK. Are you sure you want it deleted? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


Alisha ‘Priti’ Kirpalani (alisha_kirpalani) | 23 comments Thanks. I discovered the edit button. Should I list it after publication? What would you suggest? :)

It's fine to leave it as it is. It'll be the 21st before you know it :)


message 207: by Gjuro (new)

Gjuro (gjuroszlikovski) | 101 comments #207 - I am not the right person to answer that question, but my suggestion would be - leave it as it is. I can't think of any reason not to list it.


Alisha ‘Priti’ Kirpalani (alisha_kirpalani) | 23 comments Thank you :) I will leave it be :)

Arenda | 26447 comments #177 not done, covers are different
#178-180 done

#181 Done. Repeating message 1 of this thread: "For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread."

#182 done
#183 one duplicate edition merged. All other editions are valid editions and only need combining, not deleting.

#184 Done. Please make sure the duplicate and the valid edition are combined with each other. If they are not, reviews/ratings/shelvings will be lost, instead of transferred to the valid edition.

#185 done
#186 done (after finding the cover for the isbn edition on Amazon)
#187 done
#189 done
#190 not done, cover is a different color
#191 I'm very hesitant to delete books/editions (as apposed to merging, where reviews and shelvings are transferred to a valid edition).
#192 done (one edition had isbn10, the other isbn13 with the same cover)
#193 done
#196-197 done

#199 not done. Removing isbn's is not allowed. Isbn's are sometimes re-used by the publisher for a different book. Also, the isbn10 that was removed is the same as the isbn13 that still is attached to this book.
#200 done

Gjuro (gjuroszlikovski) | 101 comments Found this book, with message for superlibrarians:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/1...
Not sure what to do, so I put it here.


message 214: by Arenda (last edited Dec 11, 2017 03:56AM) (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments #201 done. Please leave a change comment when uploading a better quality cover.
#202-203 done
#204 two duplicates merged. For the remaining two editions, one has a cover, the other an isbn. I can't confirm cover and isbn belong together.
Also, no need to remove an invalid isbn before requesting a merge. Just mention the isbn is invalid.

#212 Reverted a cover change on the isbn13 edition. Merged both duplicates, and created an ACE based on info from Amazon.

#213 done

#215 Please don't link to edit pages.
Removed the isbn10 from the isbn13 field, added details from Amazon and Worldcat, and left a note the isbn might be re-used (it is on this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...).


message 215: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassanj) | 4919 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and recombine. Edition to be merged originally had the ASIN for the Kindle edition to be merged into. It was removed, and now has a duplicate ISBN10 for another edition in the ASIN field.


message 216: by Beth (new)

Beth | 2 comments This book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... appears to be a duplicate of this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... The first has no details at all and should be deleted or merged into the other.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #218 - merged authors and combined records but not queued the merge as I'm about to go out.

There is no way to prove that there hasn't been a Kindle edition at one moment with that cover, so please don't change the cover.
Especially for Kindle and ebook editions, it is quite common to have different covers for the same book.


message 222: by paperlove (new)

paperlove (mrspaperlove) | 223 comments ok. but the only difference between the two covers is the publisher information. one is rowohltBuch (which means rowohltBook, usually used for the paperback or hardcover editions) and the other one is rowohltEbook, which makes more sense in relation to the kindle / ebook edition. so i'm pretty sure the version i linked has the wrong cover, since both editions have the same publisher.

into the Kindle edition with an ASIN it's separated with, and recombine.


message 224: by Simone Stephanie (new)

Simone Stephanie (ssteph) | 12 comments Can a super librarian please delete this book? There is already a page for the kindle version and the book has only been released in kindle version as of yet:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And can you also delete this author? There is already a goodreads approved page for this author and her books, so this is just a duplicate:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

So the book now on that profile is also written by the GR author? If not that profile is a legitimate one - there may be more authors with the same name.
And no, supers can't delete profiles - and wouldn't in that case as there is a follower and a book on it.
In case the book on that profile is by the GR author too it must be merged by staff. In case that book is by a different Tate it just stays.

It is illegal publication. I am the owner of Berg Publishing House.

The title received the ISBN, but then no contract was signed, so the author used without my consent the ISBN and logo.

can be deleted + the author, too

(exists with proper goodreads author, and reviews here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)

Thank you.


message 238: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 239 That is a valid edition that only needed to be moved to the right author, done.


message 239: by Lynda (new)

Lynda Kelly (lyndakelly) | 155 comments I have checked and I'm pretty sure these are duplicates. Would you delete this one for me, please ?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Here's the other one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The Fact of a Body by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich.
Hope I've got it right !!
Many Thanks,
Lynda~


message 240: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 241 That is indeed a duplicate, merge pending

Lynda Kelly (lyndakelly) | 155 comments Thanks so much.


message 243: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments that looks like a duplicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 244: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments this too https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (asin edition was on a different profile)


message 245: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments and Killian has a duplicate too https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 247: by ☕ Lachgas ♿ (new)

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments hmmm that might be a duplicate ... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
but has listed a different secondary author who isn't even listed on the cover - but if I read the log correct that name on cover is just a pen name of L.J. so that would need to be removed and replaced - and it would be a duplicate


message 249: by Ayshe (new)

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - the default has the truncated isbn-13 of the next one
