Andre Manoel (andremanoel) | 1 comments These are duplicates of the same edition, I've already separated and combined them but I can't delete since I'm not a superlibrarian. Would anyone do that for me? Then merge with the other editions of The Trial, by Kafka.

Thanks

Ettore,
seems like you already added a new edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I added missing data from Amazon.

Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

However, you might want to set up your new edition as default - the one that will come up in searches and will show on your profile.
Here is how:

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #222 The only time I've ever seen a paperback be assigned an ASIN was when it was a Pre-ISBN era second-hand sale. A very quick Google of that ASIN indicates that it was either the ASIN of an obsolete and no-longer available Kindle Edition, or a second hand Amazon sale. If we can't prove it either way, the edition should stay just in case.

the editions are auto imported based on ISBN or ASIN number, so please remember to add one when you're creaing a new edition to avoid this issue.
I merged duplicated edition.

As someone with an intimate knowledge of #228, these are essentially just vocabulary lists, entered automatically by the publisher feed because they have an ISBN.

Scott | 8605 comments Olivia wrote: "#249 done, but please next time prepare editions for merging (combine or separate if needed)"

I used to think they should be combined first, but was recently told that they should be separate. What should I have done in this case? (I think I left them separate.)


message 248: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments Scott,
the merge will be done to the most popular edition the deleted edition is combined with.
Therefore the edition that is being merged should be separated from the other editions with the one we are merging to.
Otherwise the merge will be to the most popular edition.
But if there is empty edition just combine it with all the others, as the merge to the most popular one is fine.


message 249: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #251 I reverted the cover deletion from 2014.
Do we have an edition with this cover?

Melanti | 761 comments Olivia wrote: "#251 I reverted the cover deletion from 2014.

That's a different book. I think what is going on here is that someone tried to list the individual stories from the collection using the cover of the collection (note that they listed the format as "collection").

There's no individual short story editions that have the cover of the full collection.
