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. [Non-librarians: Please just note in your requests that you are unable to complete this step.]

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Andreea | 32 comments hi!
I found two entries for the same edition of a book

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

Also the ISBN for this edition is: 978-606-793-029-0.
I saw that this ISBN is under a different book on Goodreads (wrong book)

Thank you!

17 I see so many cover changes on the edition with the ISBN, you are sure this is the right cover?

18 Done

19 Those covers are not the same.


message 23: by amaldae (new)

amaldae (staticatku) | 593 comments No they're not; the ISBN-less entry has the wrong cover (which was used in the 2008 version, already in the DB with its proper ISBN). I have 2011 edition on hand and can confirm the error.

It's the one that was first associated with the record and an ACE was eventually created - presumably after the cover was changed. 32 people have shelved that ACE, so that suggests it's correct. Multiple booksellers also display that cover with that ISBN. I did create an ACE for the second cover that was uploaded.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... - short stories from the anthology

The cover of the legitimate paperback isn't exactly the same, but I'm not sure if that should be taken into account given that these are records for short stories.

Hugo (hugo_nebula) | 740 comments There are three stories from this anthology - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... - which have been entered separately and erroneously; they have more than 5 adds, so could they please be merged into the Stories anthology? I have already changed their Primary Author to Neil Gaiman (Editor of the anthology) to ease this.

Two of these stories are:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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

The third story has less than 5 Adds, but as Gaiman has 1157 Distinct Works I can't get them to appear on the same page for Combining.

This story is:

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

If a SuperLibrarian could merge that one along with the others, I would be grateful.

Empress (the_empress) #29 combined all three stories into the main anthology.

Just FYI how to do that: Add the main work title into the short stories titles and use the search field on the combine page.

Hugo (hugo_nebula) | 740 comments Thank you for that.

Elegant and simple, and I don't believe I would have thought of or figured that out in a million years. (I've been a Gaiman fan since literally his first comic, but 1157 works even took me by surprise!)

Thanks again. :o)

Linda (lindalanz) | 159 comments Please delete:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It's a duplicate with bad truncated ISBN-13 in its ISBN-10 field (no ISBN-10 from Japan would start with a 9). This is the good one:

Thanks!

Barbara James | 15 comments Please merge, thanks:

This is the best entry for the other two to be merged into, since it has a book review. The other two just list the people who have it on their to be read list.
