Clwseattle | 91 comments On our GR home page there is the category: "Tools" with the sub-category "Find duplicates". I have corrected the ones that were actually duplicated but I have 4 remaining, 2 of which are actually NOT duplicates but TWO different annual editions, TWO different ISBN's, TWO different covers:

Christmas Gifts of Good Taste
published September 1st 2003 by Oxmoor House (first published 2002)
Original Title Christmas Gifts Of Good Taste
ISBN: 0848727177 (ISBN13: 9780848727178)

and

Christmas Gifts of Good Taste
Published September 18th 2002 by Oxmoor House (first published 2002)
Original Title Christmas Gifts Of Good Taste
ISBN: 0848725050 (ISBN13: 9780848725051)

In as much as I owned these books, I know for a fact they are separate, distinct and DIFFERENT editions.

With this following book, one of which I own, the other I borrowed to read, they are an ORIGINAL edition and an UPDATED edition. Again, separate, distinct and DIFFERENT editions.

ISBN: 0898218462 (ISBN13: 9780898218466)

The other two duplicates are originals and reissues of the original. In as much as I did read them both (not realizing) at the time they were reissues.
Rules of the Hunt by Victor O'Reilly, ISBN: 0425150976 (ISBN13: 9780425150979) which I read in November 1995
and Games Of Vengeance by Victor O'Reilly, ISBN:
0747242224 (ISBN 13: 9780747242222) which I read in January 2010

Virgin by James Patterson,
ISBN: 0070488207 (ISBN13: 9780070488205), which I read in October, 1996
and Cradle and All by James Patterson,
ISBN: 0316690619 (ISBN13: 9780316690614), which I read in July, 2000

As I would the first two, I would like them marked as separate books. I just don't know how to do that. Thanks for your help with these.

That does not mean they are not correctly combined under Goodreads policies. All the book you listed appear to be correctly combined.

Goodreads policy is to combine those.

If Christmas Gifts Of Good Taste is an annual publication, the contents are very likely different each year and they should not be combined in my view.
