Cass (cassidy_writes) | 5 comments One of my books is showing up twice. Is it possible to delete this version: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

and keep this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...?

Thank you!

I've combined the editions; one is designated Kindle with full pub details. The other is ebook with no details; is the book Amazon exclusive or will it be available as an ebook on other platforms?

Cass (cassidy_writes) | 5 comments It is currently exclusive to Amazon.

Thank you! I'll request a merge for the duplicate edition.

#6 Combined both of the editions, and reverted some against policy changes. Please don't remove data; if something needs to be corrected or added, please create a thread here in the group asking for help.

Winnie Griggs (winniegriggs) | 10 comments So very,very sorry if I messed up, it certainly wasn't my intention to violate policy. Please help me understand what I did that caused the problem so I don't do it again.

No worries, I've taken care of it. If an edition has already been assigned publication details, Amazon ASIN, ISBN, etc., it's not allowed to remove it or change it; a new edition can be created instead. In this case, I reverted some changes, and then created a new pbk edition with the ISBN you were trying to add. Both Kindle and pbk edition should appear there together now, which I believe was your intention :) The other edition did have the Amazon ASIN incorrectly placed in the ISBN10 field, but that was done previously.

If you're unsure, or have a question, please feel free to create a new thread here in the librarians group. Someone will be happy to help you!
