This is not a book, but a PDF-Manual, handed outduring an event.
And the exspected publication date( "2106") would have made it impossible to be read anyway.

looking for second opinion
#546 and #547 could someone with more experience as super decide on the deletions?
#548 placeholders like these as far as I know are allowed
#551 answered in 552
#553 answered in 554
#555 done, recombined

I'll look at the New Yorker ones later - might be able to find anthologies for some/all, which means we can at least merge not delete :)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
was originally added by user with ISBN 9780062394422, but someone changed the data (before publication date), so the ISBN does not match the cover
I can't revert the changes as this edition was later automatically imported, so old ISBN is now taken.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Now, would it be better to merge the edition to the one it was originally created as and matching cover
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
or the edition with the matching ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Goodreads considers the following to be valid book records:
snip
* short stories published online (the format should be "ebook")
snip
Is there more criteria required for it to be an ebook then? (totally happy for these to be NABs, personally)

Apparently they are considered published in a magazine, and not on it's own, even when the magazine decides to also publish them on their website.


Edit: never mind, I remembered the author :D
These two:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
can be merged into the default, per the table of contents preview here: http://www.simonandschuster.com/books...

Firstly, this is not the correct thread for your request.
In the future please create a new tread for your request if you are not sure where to post.
Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Goodreads policy is to keep all published covers on the site, as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have. Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition.
I have created alternate cover edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
and paperback edition for your book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
You might want to set up one of these as a default edition - the one that will come up in searches and will show on your profile
https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Please also note that Goodreads does not allow titles or degrees in the author field.
I requested your profile name to be corrected by GR staff.

added a new book (as and editor) only to find out readers had already added it.
If it would be possible to merged them with all editors and contributors and still keep the ratings that would be great.
My addition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
And adding the other one to my author profile would fix it.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
And separating me and Anna Jörgensdotter as authors. we are two seperate being.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thank you!

I accidentally gave my own book a 1-star review:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Please don't laugh--I guess I inadvertently clicked it while scrolling down the page. I don't know how to delete my accidental 1-star review. Is that something you can do. Many thanks! Pam

No, Goodreads librarians can not delete your reviews or ratings. But you can. Click the edit option next to the section title 'My Activity' visible when you are on the book page. Then click the 'Clear' option visible next to the star rating you have given.
If you have further questions please post a new thread since this one is dedicated only for requests to delete duplicate editions of book records.
