Why?
If it's because it's not available any more, that is not a reason to delete a book.

A fan must have made it, as I only just released this book a few days ago. Which is already on goodreads and correct. Thank you

lethe | 16359 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - this is volume 1 of a 2-volume set. The volumes were not published separately and share an ISBN.

Please merge into https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (the 2-volume set, with ISBN)

and (re)combine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

See https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... if extra information is needed.

Thanks in advance!

ETA Merge was completed, I recombined myself.


message 412: by Scott (new)

message 416: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #372 In future start a new thread in Book Issues for this kind of problem.

Incorrect form of author name merged with correct form. Will continue to work on this later once the first merge is through.

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #371 Copied URLs from other posts don't work - that link goes to Harry Potter...

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #415-417 - Pending

#422 - Agreed, merge pending
#423 - What edition should that one be?
#424 - Queued. Please could you add author's name as on cover as Second Author once the merge is done.


message 421: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Picking up from yesterday

#369 - First merge pending. In future please can you sort the separation before posting
#368 - Placeholder merge pending
#367 - Merging all into relevant novel based on numbering
#368 - Leaving for now as personally not comfortable with full deletes when there are so many shelvings.
#365 - Pending
#364 - First merge pending
#363 - Pending
#361 - Untitled work merged

This should put us up to date. I think!

Skipped #362 as unauthorised translations isn't an area I'm familiar with.

And as they are a legal issue, probably best for the requestor to use the Contact link on the help page. Support will probably need to do some research.

message 428: by Emy (new)

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments #432 If they are stories in an edited anthology, I would usually change the Primary Author to the editor of the anthology and add the name of the anthology to the beginning of the title so it's easy to find in the combines list.


message 429: by Katherine (new)

Katherine (athryn) | 336 comments Aha, I was considering doing that, thanks! (I'm a little rusty)

#446 I don't know, probably could stay, as it's different format than the other one
#447 done
#448 cover are different
#449 I left 2 versions of the cover as I'm not sure these are the same
#450 This edition is different than other two and it has different subtitle. Please do not update this as it should be in line with the subtitle on the cover for this edition.

Thanks!


message 449: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (bookwormhannah) | 198 comments A librarian added entries and a series for every novella in a single published volume.

This is the correct entry:
The Heirloom: Four Holiday Novellas of Love Through the Generations

These four and the “series” have not been independently published outside the volume. Please delete these entries.
Gift of the Heart
A Shot at Love
Legacy of Love
Because of You

Thanks!

Please combine them for merging.
As they were just added I would assume you would be able to merge them yourself, but if not please post again when they are combined.
