combine editions

[Camille]

Working on 159.
Edit: done. Tim, can you check it's all as it should be?

[Arenda]

159 separated
all books with the same title are combined, see
https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...

Some Goodreads pages are cached, so it can take some time for all pages to show the separated editions.

[Camille]

We must have been on it at the same time, sorry!

Hi Julia,
You changed the author too but it looks like Augusta Li might be re-releast as August Li Name change is on the cover This Same Floweras well.

These two entries should be combined. Also, looks like the book description ought to be cleaned up:

#173 done. Did I do it right?

[Philip]

#175 - Looks like somebody seperated them, which I did not think that is what you wanted. Since they are just different editions of the same book, so I will re-combine them.

I think what you are wanting is to see "The Gardener Who Could See" as the default book that is shown. If that is the case follow the steps in the link below.

Here is how to set your Default Edition.
Set Default Edition

Also, the other book, shows as another edition, all you have to do to get to any of the other books is click the link that says "all editions"

(An author was added to one of the editions)

Finally, this one is a different "Jon Frost" as the author (this is his only book to date):

Looks good to me. Thanks!

[Selena]

Please combine ログ・ホライズン1 異世界のはじまり and Log Horizon, Vol. 1. I'm having trouble for some reason...

[Selena]

Please combine ノーゲーム・ノーライフ1 ゲーマー兄妹がファンタジー世界を征服するそうです and No Game No Life, Vol. 1. Again, for some reason I'm having trouble...

(If someone can fill me in on why they don't show up on the "combine editions" page and how to combine them, please let me know).

[Renske]

Books need to be on the same primary profile to combine them.

^ I'm not sure I understand. What does that mean?

[Z-squared]

both books have to have the exact same author entered first to be able to combine them. the first book you linked to has this author as primary. the second book you linked to has a different spelling of the author's name here. You need to add Yuu Kamiya as primary author on http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18... (move 榎宮 祐 to secondary). After you do this you'll be able to combine the records. Whatever you do, do NOT delete 榎宮 祐 from the record all together, nor should you try to merge 榎宮 祐 with the Yuu Kamiya profile.

[Selena]

^ Ok. That I can do. Thanks for your help! :D

#186

1) Done.

2) Do not know the language(s), so I could not tell if they were truly the same book. I did add the cover and ISBN10 to the book that was missing them though.

[Rosebud]

please add this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
to this series-

thank you

Hi, I'm a librarian, but I don't know how to combine two books if they aren't at the same page in the Combine Menu. This is the case with this book of Asimov:

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

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

I hope somebody help me with the answer. Thanks!

[Arenda]

#190: add a word to the titles of both editions; on the combine page you can filter for that word, combine the editions, and remove the word from the title.
Or you can temporarily add the English title to the foreign edition, combine and remove the English from the foreign title.

[Pablo]

OK, that will help me. I thought I was missing an option. Thank you very much!

[Kermit]

Hello,

I currently have two books with the same title listed under my author name. One of the books is a retired title and unavailable, the second version I just re-released this week.

Would it be possible for someone to delete the out of print version of my book? Thank you!

below is the retired version I would like deleted.

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

[Sandra]

Kermit, we don't delete books. Think of GoodReads as a library and not a shop.

However, you as the author can decide which edition shows up as the default edition.

Instructions: (These instructions are at the top of the Librarian Group)

How do I delete my out-of-print book?

My book has a new edition, but the old one is showing up on my author page. How can I change that?

Hi, I found this floating around:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

it should be combined with this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

but from what I see the same greek edition is already there:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

so, maybe it needs to be deleted? Up to the all-knowing librarians. ;)

Thank you! :)
