Scott | 8549 comments "Burning Chrome" short story by William Gibson

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... are entries for the Omni magazine issue in which it first appeared.

They can be merged into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., a true release of the short story on its own.

Do you know which anthology it was published in? We prefer to merge into a target, rather than losing the (extensive in this case) user reviews.

Many thanks in advance! :)


message 80: by Melanti (new)

Melanti | 761 comments None of these were ever actually books.

These seem to be added by someone who is running some sort of challenge or bookclub, and adding "books" for the challenge, possibly so that they can track who did the challenge or list it in the "currently reading" section of their group.

A Book by Pearl S. Buck
A Book with an Animal on the Cover
Free Choice
Holiday Themed Book
A Christmas/Holiday Themed Book
A Book That Takes Place in a Country You Have Never Visited
A Book That Has Been on Your "To Read" Shelf for at Least a Year
A Book by Lousia May Alcott

Giselle Beaumont (gisellebeaumont) | 3 comments Hi there,

I have 3 duplicates I would like deleted. Would that be possible? This is an unreleased/soon to be published book, and I created these by mistake:

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

Thanks a ton! Apologies for the inconvenience.

80 It seems some of those books are already gone. I would advise to report this to the staff, as it are multiple 'books' created by the same person, so they can explain/discuss it with that person.

81 As those covers are different, have the old covers been used for ARC editions or been available in an other way?

Shrey Rupani (shreyrupani) | 1 comments Greetings.

[this](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) is the same book as [this](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...). Requesting a superlibrarian to merge the records and delete one of them.


message 84: by Renske (last edited Apr 14, 2018 11:36PM) (new)

Renske | 12220 comments 83 Those are both valid editions, they only needed to be combined, I combined them.

message 90: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #85/88 - They have different covers showing so are not considered duplicates.


message 91: by Kristīne (new)

Kristīne | 11 comments Someone has uploaded a wrong cover for #85, that cover is from an edition with a different translation (abridged version for children) that was published in 2000s.
Both #85 and #88 refer to the same edition published in 1959, #88 has the correct cover.

Sorry for the confusion.

Then the pub info should be changed to match the cover, I think. That would be better than deleting the whole record entirely.
