Could someone else take a look:

They look definitely like different covers to me e.g. title placing.

All else aside, the one with the watermark is not a cover we can use, as it clearly came from a sales site.

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments Here is an Amazon page with the cover that looks the same as the one with the watermark and has the same ISBN as the other edition.

Then I vote for keeping both editions and changing the watermarked cover to that one.

Hush (hushush) | 7 comments Hello! Can you please delete this book.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I added this because it is my debut novel. I haven't published it yet.
I have made some changes to my book and would like to remove this entry so that I can create a new one :)


message 616: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #620 this is called combining; please next time post in 'combine' thread or create a new one for your request


message 617: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #622 I see that you already added a second entry, so I combined it with the older one.
As the editions have different covers they should not be merged.
Is the work completed now? Are you planning to have any other editions published or would it just be an online book?

Thank you! The work is still in progress. I plan to self-publish it through major digital retailers :)

Also can you please remove the wattpad link.
Is there no way to remove the old cover?

Filipe Mota (blackspirits) | 12 comments Olivia wrote: "#519 author names corrected and editions combined"

if they are the same author (same person) should not one of them be eliminated?
I think it should be this:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

the author has released the same book in which in some editions has the different name (Katherine / Kathy) but it is not the same author.

I'm sorry but I'm a librarian just a few days away and I'm constantly learning. And this is also one of my doubts

Thanks

Emily | 17473 comments #619, #628 One of her books is listed as Kathy and one is Katherine on the covers. See https://www.goodreads.com/librarian_m... and go to the Author Field.

message 624: by Filipe (new)

Filipe Mota (blackspirits) | 12 comments #629 I think I should get a note or the biography (AKA Katherine Armstrong Walters), because the official of the author is Kathy. For example, in the next book does she only put Kathy Walters, we have to create a new author profile? That does not seem right to me.

Thanks

We don't create new author profiles for new books if they already have a profile. I'd take a look at this:

you might want to start a new thread for this if you want to talk about it more. It will get lost in the shuffle of this thread.

Filipe Mota (blackspirits) | 12 comments #632 Ok, Thanks

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #627 Please contact support to request removal (they might decide to do so as the work on Wattpad is not completed, so please remember to point it out).
As a volunteer and not GR staff member I do not feel entitled to make this decision.

Lee Winter | 1 comments Please delete this book. It isn’t a book at all. It was a private short story I emailed a few friends and suddenly it’s on GR! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Hey there - this book was never published as the publisher folded. I'm not sure how it got a review and a rating. Some kind of ARC or something went out I guess prior to cancellation. It's due to be published in Kindle and Paperback from Createspace on December 26th, so can some super-librarian please either delete it or merge it?

Thanks.

Two books in one entry and two authors melted into one person! - and they already have their own editions in database. Very strange.

#646: If an ARC went out, it can't be deleted.
However, I did combine it with its other edition.

Jim Mason (jabix7) | 3 comments Hi

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

This is a listing for a series, it seems outdated and does not reflect the whole series.. Also, I was unable to find the ISBN and suspect it's a place holder. Delete I think.

Not a placeholder but a link to the Amazon page for the series. Setting to merge into book 1 per policy.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #467 - Looks to be an interesting omnibus of two separate works. Separating out the author names now.

Just look at the top for the current thread. Number 3 is open right now, but close to 1000 comments, so I suspect we'll be on #4 in a few days time: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Added when beta reading so they could leave reviews but has since been picked up by a publisher and everything about the book will be changing.
