Marta Oliva Riera (martta) | 10 comments Hi! I've just realized that Homes m'expliquen coses, Els and Men Explain Things to Me do not show up as different editions of the same book, when the first is just a translated version of the second. The author is also not filed as the same, for some reason! Could you please combine them? Thanks!

Gizem (gisela92) | 41 comments Done. I also changed the title; the title should begin with the article

Thank you!

Hey there, would it also be possible to combine Paklausk Alisos with the other editions of Go Ask Alice ? The author is listed as "Anonymous" (as on the cover), but is actually Beatrice Sparks.

Thank you!

Z-squared | 8575 comments Do you know if the English translation was ever actually published? The cover showing for it is the Dutch one, I think, and I can't find a listing for an English translation on either the publisher's site or the author's site.

It just affects what I'm supposed to do with it. Merged with the Caldera.

Bobby Underwood | 57 comments Hi, I created a listing for my new book, Whisper Valley, only to discover a day later that someone at Goodreads didn't bother to see that it already had a listing, and created another -- same book, same asin -- but completely separate. Can someone please do something to fix it so that both are listed under the same link? Otherwise I'll end up with reviews and ratings here, and reviews and ratings there. This could have been avoided if someone had simply looked before creating a listing for a book which had already been listed! Here is what it currently looks like when you do a search for the book --- https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=wh... -- Please fix this! -- Here is one link --https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... -- and here is the other -- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... -- These need to be listed as one, and the second should never have been created in the first place! I have the paperback edition to list and now don't even know which link to place it at as an alternate edition! :-( :-(


message 24: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12223 comments 25 I merged the two editions. When you created your edition you added the ASIN to the ISBN slot and not the ASIN slot (There is a link after the ISBN13-slot with 'Click for ASIN') therefore there was also an automatic import with the ASIN in the ASIN-slot.

Thanks! I see now, and be more careful in future. My bad.

Julita | 11 comments Hi!

Someone added a Polish translation here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

but it's actually already here (without ISBN though):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #30 Hi Julia,
I think the second entry was suppose to be e-book edition.
I combined editions and corrected ISBN


message 30: by VMB (new)

VMB | 12 comments Hello, this book has the wrong authors listed (not those on the cover, who are the correct people) - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thanks

Sean (seanshadow) | 49 comments Hey there, I have found three books that are all the same, under one author. If they were all combined that would be awesome! Here are the three duplications.

VMB | 12 comments Hello,

Please can these two editions of the same book be combined:

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

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Also please can these duplicates of another book be combined:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

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

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

Please could they also all have the same cover photo if possible?

Thank you

message 41: by Katharina (new)

Katharina | 1 comments The following book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
is the "Exclusive Collector's Edition" of
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
but does not show up as "other edition".
Probably because the author of the first book is incorrectly listed as "Thomas Angie" but the lady's name is "Angie Thomas".

Can you please correct the author and combine those two?
Thank you!
