Explicit Love by T.L. Smith
Author T.L. Smith has changed the Dark Intentions Trilogy into the Dark Intentions Duet and incorporated this (previously book 3) into Book 2 (Sinister Love).
660-663 done.664, Laura, those all look legitimate to me. They all have their own valid ISBNs and are available for sale on Amazon and other bookseller websites. Not sure why you want to delete them.
665 done.
Please merge this edition into Kindle - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

#657 and #658 got skipped?
A book entitled "Sax Burglar Blues" was added to my profile page. It was written by a Welsh poet, not me. We share the same name so the error is understandable. Here's the ISBN: 1781724083. When convenient, might someone remove it from my page?
#772 Robert that is something that any librarian can do & the correct thread is - Book Issues This Book is not mine, please move it (part 2).Book moved from your profile.
Hi - I'm a Goodreads librarian but need the help of a superlibrarian.I work at a literary agency and one of our authors, William Kent Krueger, has a book tentatively scheduled for Fall 2019 release.
It has not yet been officially announced, but somehow has already been added to Goodreads. In 2016, someone gave it 1 star (before he'd even...written the book?). The synopsis for the book was totally incorrect (again, it hasn't even been announced), which I was able to delete. However, we'd really love if the book could just be deleted and re-added when it's actually announced.

658 looks like a perfectly valid ebook edition with an ISBN. No deletion.
Working...666 - Appears to already be done
667 - The edition without the ASIN has a different cover (additional text on the bottom right).
668 -
669 - This is the wrong thread for your issue, see message 1 in this thread.
670-672 -
673 - Were any copies, including ARCs, distributed with this cover?
674 -
675 -
676 - Someone recombined this one. Can you separate them again?
677 - I don't know the answer to your question, so maybe staff or another super will chime in? Or you could start a new thread if no one else answers.
678 - Not done, reverted changes to book which restored a unique ISBN. Please do not remove what appears to be valid data.
679 -
680 - Not done. It is better to edit the record to add the missing data than outright deleting it. I've separated it from the other book. You can start a new thread in the book issues folder to have a librarian add any missing information you have for the record.
681 - Not done
682 - Not done, all editions have unique ISBN/ASIN. Combined.

Duplicate, but not sure which version is concidered the correct one to delete? Covers are identical (except for slight difference in brightness), no ACE notes. Original carrier of autoimported ASIN: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Current carrier of the ASIN: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Also, I tried to fix the author from "Saroj Ghoting" to "Saroj Nadkarni Ghoting". I noticed there are locations for authors for : "Kathy Fling Katt" and "Saroj Ghoting" but I don't see "Kathy Fling Katt" in this book and "Saroj Ghoting" is "Saroj Nadkarni Ghoting". There is a record with books attached for "Saroj Nadkarni Ghoting".

I've Combined two identical editions (one added by Author, the other by Amazon) but need a Super to Merge them - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... Thank you!
#782 #724 well that's weird - I'm pretty sure there were two editions (which was why I added "merge" to the title to separate correct) but log doesn't mention a merge by someone else...I did even mention the need of a merge in the thread about the book https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
strange...
I've recombined...
that's one of these Amazon series listings - no real book just info about the series itself https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...not sure in which one (if at all) it should be merged so didn't combine yet.
Re 766: Can you provide a link to back up that info? Maybe a blog post from the author or something like that?767 done.
Re 769, can someone confirm that we do these sorts of merges, where the ISBN is only for the kindle edition? I remember this came up a while back, but now I can't find the thread where Rivka confirmed what to do with them.

Re 777, I know it's frustrating to have a book rated before it's even out (your author isn't the first that's happened to), but deleting the book would be contrary to Goodreads policies. Besides, lots of people have already shelved the book, and if we deleted it, you'd lose all those shelvings. Don't you want people to shelve your book and eagerly anticipate its long-awaited release? Presumably you will also have some sort of pre-release campaign complete with the release of ARCs to bloggers/reviewers/etc. You'll presumably want those reviews posted to Goodreads as part of the run-up to release. That's why GR allows books to be rated/reviewed before their release date.

Proper version with ISBN.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
DOCTOR WHOThis ASIN/entry appears to be just an umbrella for a particular series of Doctor Who novels. Although you can buy it as an e-bundle, you are getting individual books (with their own ASINs naturally.)
It doesn't seem like an official "set" to me, more just a way for Amazon to collate them all on a single page.
Mod
I checked the source (author manually added); that the ISBN searched on Amazon brings up the Kindle edition; and that there appear to be no listings elsewhere for that ISBN.
Deletion pending.
