https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks, Jan

Sandra | 31525 comments #584 sorry no Jan. One batch of books has 5 essays and the other batch has 6.

Gjuro (gjuroszlikovski) | 101 comments Please combine:

This edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
with this Kindle edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And also please use title from first link, to correct second (see second link, title is "Ruined", and text in brackets is extra... it should link to series, but it doesn't)


message 567: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31525 comments #587 done. Duro, combining them attaches the 2nd book to the series.

Gjuro (gjuroszlikovski) | 101 comments #588 Oh, sorry, I get it. I'm tired, 2am at my place... :)
What about #585?


message 569: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31525 comments NO worries, I've been there :)

#585 merged. May take a little while to look correct due to caching.

Yahya Alyasiri (yahyaalyasiri) | 4 comments please combine these editions
War and Peace
الحرب والسلم 1/2


message 580: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31525 comments Yahya, the arabic edition appears to be a Vol 1 of 2. If so, we can't combine it with the full editions.


message 581: by Yahya (new)

Yahya Alyasiri (yahyaalyasiri) | 4 comments This edition contains two parts beacaus the novel is big ..


message 582: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31525 comments Yes I realise that. That is often why a book is split into 2 or more volumes. GR policy is that they aren't combined with the full work.


message 583: by Thiago (new)

Thiago (thiago7) | 92 comments These are all editions of "The Hour of the Dragon" aka "Conan the Conqueror" by Robert E Howard.

Also, there is a second profile for the author that should probably be addressed and a couple wrong descriptions, like a synopsis for the Halycon edition on some other edition and a text about Algernon Blackwood. It looks pretty messy, really. Thanks!

message 586: by Alex (new)

Alex | 2736 comments #604 Combined editions of Hour of the Dragon, separated those that also included The Hyborian Age, changed the default description to a more generic one and removed that Algernon Blackwood one.

I peeked at the Robert Ervin Howard profile and grabbed the edition of Hour of the Dragon and combined with the rest. Not sure if the profile itself should be merged with the Robert E. Howard one, as some editions have the full name on the cover.

In any case, I think the Howard profile and its books would make a great project, if anyone's looking for one.


message 587: by Dan (new)

Dan Jones | 5 comments Hi, I'm trying to separate the first editions of my book 'Look Into My Eyes' from the significantly expanded (50% more content) second editions. When I click on separate tool or separate it just goes back to my home page.

Is it possible to have them separated?

These two are the first edition:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And these four are the second edition:

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

I updated the descriptions for the books, and the edition details, but have been unable to separate them.

Thank you

All the best

Dan

Sandra | 31525 comments #608 I could separate them but they have the same name & same characters so another librarian will just combine them again in the future.

Why not just select the default edition as one of the new ones and that means it will be the one they see first. As long as the covers for the new ones are the same, and the original are different you shouldn't have any difficulty.

Only authors & staff can select default editions. Instructions in the 4th msg down.

Hi, thank you, I have just done that. I am just going through my books trying to update details (new to Goodreads as an author) and setting primary editions. I seem unable to update my 'Hypnotic Assassin' novel. I want to add the cover image. The book is showing as 'Daniel Jones' it is me, but I am unable to add the cover (as seen on Amazon for this edition)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

All the best

Dan


message 590: by Dan (new)

Dan Jones | 5 comments Hi, as I go through my books, I seem to be unable to have permissions to edit many of them.

I've been unable to edit the Hypnotic Assassin


Or Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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

Any of the editions of Hypnotherapy

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I haven't check other books of mine yet.

How do I get access to be able to edit the details of these and add the correct cover images etc?

All the best

Dan

Added the first one of your linked books to your profile by adding the missing space (for future reference, yours is the 4 space profile) the others were already,there so you should be able to edit details.

If you find other books that are not attributed to your profile you have to ask in a separate thread(this one is just for combining elditions), with mentioning the amount of spaces librarians can do that really quick. (Spaces are the way goodreads distinguish between authors with the same name and don't affect searches)

Not hundred percent sure if authors can edit the cover, but librarians can -> just ask (with a cover from an acceptable source and link to the book) in an extra thread


message 592: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26450 comments #610 Moved the book to your profile and added the cover from Amazon. Also added Daniel Jones to those editions that have that name on the cover.


message 593: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26450 comments #611 Moved four editions of Hypnotherapy to your profile. (Only one of the five editions was on your profile, the others had a different Dan Jones).
You should be able to add covers and other details.

Someone else has moved Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts to your profile. You should be able to edit them now.

These are the same, the actual name of the book is "Media & Democracy. Also, some editions have two authors "James Curran" and "Curran James". The profiles should probably be unified as they are the one and the same.

Alex | 2736 comments #615 I've merged the flipped author names and was able to objectively verify the titles of two of the editions as "Media and Democracy", but now I'm stumped with these:

If anyone feels there's enough to go on to combine, feel free.
