Susan Kelly (susanamandakelly) | 12 comments Hello
My book BEND THE RULES is showing twice - please delete one of the copies. I think it happened because I added the book manually but then the system seemed to add it automatically from Amazon. I'll leave it to you to determine the copy that should be kept.

Many thanks,
Susan Amanda Kelly

Hi Susan

One edition is an ebook with ISBN the other is a kindle with ASIN. These are 2 separate editions, so both need to stay. :)

Hi Carol - I only created one edition of the book. It has both an ISBN number and an ASIN identifier for the same book (if you look in the opening pages of the book on Amazon, you'll see both numbers listed for that book). This is the same process I followed for all my other books but they're only showing once on Goodreads.
Tnx,
Susan

Heidi McLaughlin (heidimclaughlin) | 8 comments Thank you for fixing my above request.
I have another one. Someone created this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I don't offer these books together, in a bundle, and it's confusing to readers.

Thank you!

They read an ARC and the link on Amazon leads nowhere. So, what happens now? It was never published. Thank you.

An ARC is a published book.

How? I just emailed through the Contact Us form. Thank you. I'm hoping they will delete it. The Amazon link goes nowhere.

Hello,
So I get that I need to move the book to NOT A BOOK. I'd like to merge my only book there. This book was never published and has no ISBN only ASIN. But I also need the cover removed. I noticed none of the books on NOT A BOOK had covers. Only a librarian can do that.
Also, I am confused about how to merge my author account to NOT A BOOK, which is what I would like to do as I only have one book and will publish anymore. I do not want to make the wrong move here, that's why I am seeking more help. Thanks. Help is definitely appreciated. I also submitted two private questions.

Also, what if the ARC was not a complete or finished copy?


message 529: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8610 comments Goodreads is a site for people to catalog the books they have read. Since some people have read this book, the record needs to remain so that they can keep their history intact. It should not be changed to "not a book." As for your profile, just have support move you back to a regular user account.


message 530: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments Jennifer,
What we are saying is that the book should stay as it is.
It shouldn't be marked as 'Not A Book', as it is a valid book record.
If you have further concerns, want a second (third?) opinion or you want to remove your Goodrads author profile only Goodreads staff will be able to help you.

Thank you. How can I contact Goodreads staff? Also, what if the ARC, in question, was not the complete/ finished book? Is it still considered the same book?

Scott | 8610 comments Book samples are valid on Goodreads so I would think so.

If they are new editions they should simply be combined with the old ones, not deleted.

There's information missing and I can't edit it myself, so I didn't want to bother you guys twice, but okay.

They have valid ISBNs so they definitely shouldn't be deleted. Let us know what needs adding.
