Beatriz (beatriz_lume) | 12 comments Good morning!

Please, delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The ebook profile of that book already exists connected with the paperback edition and the Goodreads author's profile.

Thanks Scott. Do I have to let anybody know to merge or will it just be picked up by a super?

Nikki,
this is not a correct thread for your request.
This would be the best one https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Please next time start a new thread if you're not sure where to post.

I moved the listed books from your profile.

The meta-data seems completely garbled. It strange that it's been shelved, unless someone was automatically adding every title by that author as to-read and didn't question the odd "Untitled 2" title.

The publisher is listed as Ballantine Books, but as far as I can tell that imprint hasn't published any of Eric Ambler's works. (I didn't get a match searching for Ambler on the Random House site, but it's possible they may not list out-of-print titles.) As far as I can tell, Ambler was mostly published by The Bodley Head, Farrar Straus Giroux, Knopf, Hodder, and Heinemann.

I tried searching for the ISBNs and got a match for a different title for the ISBN-10, but on closer inspection it's one digit out, so I don't think it's that one.

Many thanks in advance!

#215 Hi Belen, combined the duplicates for you so they are all set for the Superlibrarian to do their magic.

Renske | 12220 comments 219 Done. Please note when separating books for a merge, you need to have the edition(s) that need to be merged together with the edition it needs to be merged into, so the reviews can be moved to the right edition.

annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments #227 Hi Iris, as the duplicate edition had no shelvings, ratings or reviews, a regular Librarian could merge them for you. All done, and I created a series page as well. Oh, and happy release day today as well! :)


message 231: by Annamariah (last edited May 15, 2018 07:57AM) (new)

Annamariah | 20 comments I have a problem, and I'm hoping a superlibrarian can help me with it. There is a Finnish edition of Shakespeare's Hamlet (ISBN 9510228095) translated by Eeva-Liisa Manner and published by WSOY. The same edition with the same cover and ISBN was printed three times: 1998, 2001 and 2010. Hamlet has the correct details. When I tried to add the missing ISBN13 (9789510228098), I found out that someone has created another edition with it, but Hamlet has the wrong cover (which belongs to ISBN 9510382272, Hamlet, which is a completely different translation) and otherwise incomplete details.

Hamlet should be merged with Hamlet, but ay, there's the rub: How can I separate the two editions when on the "separate editions" page there are well over 2000 editions, most of them simply titled "Hamlet"? There is no "expand details" option, so I can only see the ISBNs if I hover over the titles, and frankly, I don't have the time to go through them all manually. If one of you superlibrarians has some sort of shortcut or magic trick for finding those editions, separating them and deleting the other, I'd be thankful.

*EDIT May 15th 2018: Never mind, I figured it out myself. I changed the titles so I could find them on the separation page with ctrl+F, and as one of the editions only had two shelvings, I deleted it and put all the correct info on the more popular edition.

message 233: by Mame (new)

Mame | 23 comments Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
into one item. And if possible, link it as an "other edition" to
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This manga was published by Digital Manga Publishing, who had then created an imprint called Juné Manga. So that they could publish yaoi/gay/pornographic homosexual manga under a collective name. The first volume of Jazz was published under both names. The general name and Juné name. They both have the same ISBN.

Erin (tangential1) | 10 comments I think this book needs to be deleted/merged: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

There isn't much information there (not really a titled and the author name looks wrong), but I think it is trying to be this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

Thanks!
