Please combine
#760 D.K., I changed your name on the book and then combined it with the other edition.

I think I need two books merging rather than combining... the first is the one connected to my author profile, the second added by a reader.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Thanks
#777 I began working on this and decided someone else should do it--just fyi for someone who picks it up.
Found a few combinations here:The Hope of a Goddess and Glimmers of Reality: The Hope of a Goddess -- looks like the first one may need an author edit, too.
Una Luz En La Obscuridad / A Glimmer of Hope and Una Luz En La Obscuridad / A Glimmer of Hope
A Light Beyond the Darkness and A Light Beyond The Darkness
The Legend of the Fallen Kingdom and The Legend of The Fallen Kingdom
Out of the Darkness Into the Fire and Out Of The Darkness Into The Fire
Thank you!

I already combined those because you posted in a different thread. Maybe only post in one thread and give us a couple minutes, so as not to end up with multiple librarians trying to do the same thing?

#774 author needs to be changed to the proper one before they can be combined, cuz they're listed under different authors. But i don't know which author is actually the correct one...
#777 done (authors name just needed to be altered to match . The goodreads author Daniel Skimmer had 2 spaces in between first and last name. The other one only had 1 space. Same name, but then shows up as a different author.)

Thanks Arenda!
I'll correct that
I've been reading the manual and trying to figure out the best way to combine and merge my books. It looks like I have quite a mess. Can someone please take a look and give me some advice? I don't mind if you want to do it. I'm afraid I'll mess it up at this point. I only have three current series, Destiny Paramortals, Calloways of Rainbow Bayou and one standalone Undone. It looks like there are many that could be merged or combined. https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin... Storm Crazy both kindle and ppbk have isbns, and the CMAR ppbk, I've also created new alternate cover editions for all the Destiny Paramortals books and made those editions the primary. Was this the correct thing to do? Livia Quinn
Livia, I fixed Storm Crazy and will look at the others later on today.

it appears that 901-905 are already done, and i've done #906
Shannon wrote: "it appears that 901-905 are already done, and i've done #906"Yes I did them, but still correcting the primary name
#906 - #910, #912, #915 - #919, #921 - #926, #930, #931 done.#913 done. I simply added the English version of his name as the primary author, and shifted the 2 other author listings in arabic down so the English version could be listed as the primary name so I could combine them.
#911, #914, #920 were already done
However, i've noticed that a LOT of these don't have the same primary author, and I know they have to to be combined, so I've been changing that as necessary (and looking at all the other editions to make sure everything is correct)

I looked at your page and it appears that all the combining is done. You only have one of each book listed and all the separate editions of a book are collected under that single title.
So waht I would recommend you do now, is go through each book individually, and find out if there are any stray editions that are duplicates. For example, if you notice you have 3 paperback editions of the same book, but only one of them has an ISBN number, and the rest are just kind of there with no REAL details, then, you would post the links of each of those extraneous paperback editions to be merged with the real one.
And if you find editions that need to be deleted/merged, the thread you will post them in will be under
Book Issues > * Please delete this book! (pt. 51) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
#939 - #945, #947 - #952, #955 - #967done
As for #946. I didn't combine these, because the primary author listed on the book cover is different for these editions. I looked at both primary authors (carol and Susan), and it doesn't look like one is a pen name of the other (when they're the same person just under different names, then i can sort it out). Even with the Bolan books you've been listing, because Don Pendleton is the series creator, but someone else actually wrote the book and is the primary author (that i can verify IS the primary author), I can edit the details so that the primary authors are the same and I can combine them. But with this, I don't know what to do. I would suggest that you take the books from #946 and create a specific thread just for them so you can find someone more knowledgeable than me to help you figure out if you can combine those.
#969 - #972done

They should not be combined. No need for further investigation.
Emily wrote: "Livia, I fixed Storm Crazy and will look at the others later on today."Fantastic, I appreciate it, Should I have the Men of Honor books merged or combined with the Under-cover knights series? That was same books but series and title change but not the same ASINs.
