as this book no longer exists and has been rewritten as a novel: "Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22... and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/32...

They have been sold to a new publisher (Parvus Press) and completely rewritten. Parvus have previously contacted a GR admin with a request to scrub the old books and been told that the author (myself) has to make the request.

Hi Rivka,Thank you for the fast reply. As we can't delete the old edition, could you please advice or direct me to where I can find advice on how to add a new edition of a book without linking to or referencing the old edition or sharing/transferring reviews in any way?
Thank you!

However, as the author, you will have the ability to change which edition of each book is the default, which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Here's how: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Hi Rivka,I understand that merging reviews is the normal policy, but the revisions in this new edition are massive to the extent that old reviews on the new edition would be considered misleading and grossly unrepresentative of the new book. My publishers have said that unless we can completely separate the editions or have the old edition removed, we will have to retitle both the individual books and the overall series. Is there anything that can be done?
I appreciate your assistance!

#32 these magazines have Kindle editions:
1) merged to Kindle edition
2) ASIN added
3) couldn't find on Amazon Issue 35, there is Issue 34 and 37 though, so I think it was published as Kindle, I just can't find it.
Edit: @32.3 here is an e-book version that we can't use as source of data, but it's a prove it's been published with ISBN https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-...

Several books need to be deleted from my profile. I'm the author of "All the World We Never See". The other books are from other authors. (We have the same name.) Thank you!
David,the correct thread for your request would be This book is not mine, please move it, but it won't be done in your case anyway, as there are to many books to move.
You were assigned the default profile in error and you'll need to contact support to be moved to the new profile.
