message 705: by Joshua (new)

Joshua | 1 comments I tried adding a book to Goodreads but when I tried to post everything something happened and now it's not only not listing me as the central author, it won't include the cover for the book either.

Here's a link to the page
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

and here's a link to my author's page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Please if there's anything you can do, please please let me know. Thank you.

Suzannah Rowntree | 22 comments Hi! I have a duplicate which is *also* shelved under the wrong author (with the same name. Oops).

This is the real edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

And this is the duplicate that has popped up on the other author's profile: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thanks :)

If you look at the cover you'll see the author name is slightly different. On amazon, looks like the book is real and published by Gollanz, just under a different author name & slightly different cover. It also has a different asin.

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 102 comments please deleate duplicate: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (wrong ASIN BOOEZSRFFG - double O [letters] instead of double 0 [numbers])
the correct edition is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (B00EZSRFFG)
the only difference between the books is the page number and this changes often with Kindles :-( - currently 60 pages :-)

It won't let me separate the wrong edition from comment #632 because it's too popular. Please delete the duplicate without the ISBN as the edition with the ISBN has a free preview etc. and the one without doesn't.

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

It's literally the same edition added twice but one has an ISBN and one doesn't. A super librarian has to delete it.

Jon Ureña (joeloverbeck) | 3 comments I accidentally created an entry for my new kindle book twice. Please delete the second one, as I will link my author page to the first.

Sorry!

(didn't need a Superlibrarian to be merged, a regular librarian could do the trick).

Kristen Stieffel (kristen_stieffel) | 6 comments Please delete this entry:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Which is a duplicate of this entry:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The second entry contains the publisher name and ASIN; the first one lacks these details. Merging the two would work also. Thanks!

This is still the wrong thread as mentioned in post #1 and here, here, here and in several other replies to your requests.

And as you have the default profile that will happen again if any other Alexander Gordon publishes a book, no idea how common that name is but might be a good idea to bookmark the "please move that book" thread. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It's already separated out and will merge with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... (added 3517 times).

This pair is an ACE and also a later printing. Once the extra record is deleted I'll moving the ISBN when combining it back into the main work. Thank you.


message 745: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31405 comments Enthusiastic fans have created this edition, however its a multi-author series and book 4 is a different author.

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

correct edition which I've added to the series
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Didn't know whether I should change author as it would make a mess in the log and make it harder for you to follow.

You will need to separate the two editions that are needed for merge process - one duplicate, one original. We don't usually delete books outright on GR. What we do is - we merge duplicates which means we transfer all the reviews and ratings for a duplicate edition into corresponding original edition with ISBN/ASIN. That way we don't lose user ratings.

For this duplicate edition which you have separated, you will need to keep the two Kindle editions together so that when a superlibrarian merges the duplicate edition, all its ratings and reviews would transfer to the edition with ASIN. Once the merge goes through, Kindle edition can be re-combined with its paperback.

Hope that explains it :-)
