Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #53 Tricia,
there are two editions for this book now: ebook without ISBN data and Kindle edition with ASIN. Will the book be available on other platforms than Amazon?
If so, we would need to keep the ebook, as it is listed separately from Kindle on Goodreads.
#54
1) I can't see any duplicated editions
2) deleted one article, but the other seams to have been published (it has ASIN)
#55 done

They were self-published (and no longer available) and they were tied to a separate author email. I opened this new email in 2018 to re-brand myself now that I am being published by Macmillan. I would really appreciate them being taken off my author dashboard for this email account. Again, I did not add them. Thank you.

It doesn't matter. You wrote them and people have read them, and will want to keep their reading history intact and retain any reviews they may have written.

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...

There are two versions of the same book. The other version already has reviews attached to it 😊

"Published" nine months ago and out of print? There should be some trace of the existence of this book, not just a mystery Goodreads record.

Some authors only publish via Kindle, and take them down after a few months. It's not uncommon, and not a reason to delete the Goodreads record.

Yes, but the other edition is missing the edition-specific data, like format and ASIN. So it's actually the one needing deletion -- after I combined it with the one with the data, so the reviews etc will move over to it. The merge is now pending.

Next time, if there are two editions involved, please link both so the librarians responding to your request can see the whole picture.

First link in #64 pointed to editions linked to author's name incorrectly spelled. These are now deleted.

ebook & kindle are indeed two different editions. Changing the author name & combining was correct action. Thanks!

Mauro (mauro_mdc) | 37 comments This edition has no ISBN nor any details: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Should be deleted and merged with the other editions, I guess.

Thanks!

Nope, I can't find any prove the ISBN is not valid.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Please add editor L. Trammel and denote that this entry is for the Kindle edition

Thank you :)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #98 done, corrected authors on other editions

#99 Blake,
I merged duplicated edition with the Kindle edition.
Please note that on Goodreads editors should only be added for records like anthologies and reference materials. Novels and other works of fiction should not have editors listed.

I removed the editor from one edition.

I also corrected the title as the collections of poems wouldn't generally be considered a series on Goodreads.
