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.

Don't you think that is a cropped image?


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... improperly added. merge with default looks fine.

Scott | 8540 comments Comic book issues that should be removed (no ASIN or ISBN):

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

They could possibly be merged into the first collection of the comics:

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


Luca the Jellyfish Queen (queenofjellyfish) Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... as it seems to be invalid and has same title and cover as https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

One is a book and one is a Kindle e-book.

But who is Leilany Hartmann? I think that just needs to be corrected and combined. Though the description is...odd.


Elizabeth (Alaska) no details, please merge with default

annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments Please delete both 'triplicates' (one of the three records has ISBN. PB and KindleEd already exists and has been separated away from the trio):

Duplicate records
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... has ASIN but no contributors
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... no ASIN but all the contributors

same book please merge but am hopeful that you will move the ASIN to the edition with all the contributors so that information will not be lost.

Will need to be recombined with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and note there are no contributors on these editions so that info will definitely be lost if you choose not to move the asin before merging.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Working backwards from here.
#2 I think those are actually ACEs of each other. There are minor difference in the fonts that I can see. Will sort them out now as we still want the ISBN10 & 13 on the same record.
#3 Going to look at these in more detail now.
#4 Queued
#5 Queued
#6 Queued
#7 Queued
#8 Queued.
#9 Combining to merge. In principle, we treat them as anthology components and merge into the collected edition. In future, please do combine as such before posting :)
#10 /11 This is one that needs referring directly to Support for the attention of Legal, I believe.
#12 Queued
#13 Queued.
#14 No merge - reverted a cover change. Can you check again please?
#15 No merge - Alternate covers (see yellow bar in centre highlighting "Bütün Öyküleri". I have marked it as such but not moved the ISBN as I am not certain whether the edition with the ISBNs has the current cover.
#16 Queued
#17 First one pending. Will do second when through.
#18 Queued
#19 Queued
#20 Queued
#21 Reverse merge pending

I've had a better look at these, and while I think it's entirely possible that one is a crop of the other, we don't have any proof. I've seen any number of books where different editions have the same cover but one is zoomed in. I have, however, fixed the title to show in the appropriate script. The author needs fixing still though - S.S. as Primary, and then Secondary in appropriate script. It's not one I know those so I'm leaving it well alone!

Here's the publisher page, which shows the "cropped" cover: http://www.anandabazar.com/calcutta/k...
Amazon.IN shows the "uncropped" cover.

First I want to thank you for having sharp eyes, I missed the part in the log where edition image had been deleted and a new uploaded. But in this case the reverted older art says 'Cover Reveal' at the top, and if you look at the bottom right corner of the old and new Kindle arts, the part that is 'revealed' is identical. So (for once in a blue moon), the replacement of art was in compliance with policy, and the Kindle editions are duplicates, the one you reverted was placeholder is my guess.

Then it needs ACE language and the ISBN moved.

Emily Hussey (emily_hussey) | 1 comments I have a duplicate book on my site that needs to be removed. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This was due to my inexperience in setting up the page and registering my book.

Thank you for assistance.

Wrong thread. This thread is for true duplicates not moving books. Post in the folder "This book is not mine, please move it" and please provide a link to the book.
