J.J. Maxwell | 3 comments Hi,
I've screwed up and added extra additions of my book while trying to upload the new cover. Can't get the combine or merge feature to work (only shows one checkbox for all editions to combine).
Can someone give me a hand to get rid of the editions with no cover and make the new cover the one that's front and center?
Thanks *very* much!

J.J. Maxwell | 3 comments Hi All,
I'm trying to delete three no cover editions of my book that I mistakenly created when trying to upload a new cover. When I try to "combine" there is only one check box for all five editions, so that doesn't work. When I click on "Separate Tool", the system takes me to updates of what my followers are doing. Very strange.
Anyway, my book editions are here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...
and I would very much appreciate some help.
Thank you!

İlkim (lkmsrl) | 113 comments Can you delete this complete wrong edition added by amazon_kcw named bot:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Author is a mix of both author's and translator's names. It has no rating or review.

Correct one is here:

Melinoe Black (leahdianeauthor) | 11 comments Hi I have a handful I need merged.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

These basically need merged. And the series names changed on those, it's now Shadow Hills not Clan of Chaos.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The third one is the newest one. If there's a way to merge all of these?

I'm SUPER sorry for all these I just got back to Goodreads after years and i'm trying to clean up! :)

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...

If you need assistance getting the new and old editions straightened out, please start a new thread. Some things certainly can be done, but deleting the old editions is not one of them.

message 118: by Lizzie (new)

Lizzie Huxley-Jones (littlehux) | 2 comments Hello! On request from the author, I combined two duplicate book listings of Apple Island Wife, in order to keep all the reviews. Now there is a third loose edition alongside the PB and Ebook which is the original duplicate that is hanging over and needs to be deleted by a superlibrarian.

The duplicated edition has no ISBN or information, no reviews, but has a number of people listed as "currently reading".

Simplified Chinese edition only published in 2008. 2009. 2014

ISBN of 2008 9787544241694 looks like this

with paper slip http://book.kongfz.com/4615/368134785/
(real book!!)

ISBN of 2009 9787544245555 looks like this

Any other picture is NOT book cover.
Most Chinese don't like paper slip.
Goodresads had books published in 2008. 2009. 2014 already.

This is only a picture with no ISBNs. Is not a book.
Please combined.

message 134: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #137 this ISBN was first used for Job: A Comedy Of Justice and than reused with Marley & Me in 2006

I separated mixed record into two editions and cross referenced the books

D.H. Schleicher (davethenovelist) | 7 comments This is a bit complicated, but when boiled down I think (I hope) this is the right thread for this request as ultimately I am asking for erroneously created duplicate and triplicate entries of the same book to be deleted.

The following book...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

...should appear under my profile but isn't because there was no space between my first and middle initials and a whole sperate profile existed.

This is my correct claimed profile that should include the listing for The Thief Maker:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Because it took me awhile to figure this out, I had inadvertently attempted to create (twice) an entry for The Thief Maker as I had thought it was missing from Goodreads but really wasn't. So I need the following duplicate and triplicate entries deleted:

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

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

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

message 142: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #146 there are two different editions that needed combining;
please next time post in the combine thread or create a new one for similar requests
#147 done


message 143: by Olivia (last edited Nov 24, 2018 06:17AM) (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #148 this is not an issue librarian can help you with.
Please contact staff if there are any legal issues with Goodreads records.
https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
it would also be prudent to remove an email address as this in a public forum.

ETA: we can correct the author name; please start a new thread for someone to look into this
On the second look - please contact staff, as I doubt any librarian will revert their changes

message 148: by Eli (new)

Eli Easton (elieaston) | 20 comments Can someone please merge these two listings for the same book?

https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=ch...

The series title should be on the book (like the first entry that shows up at that link), but most of the reviews/ratings are on the second one. Ideally we can keep those.

Thank you!


message 149: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #155 These are listed as two different editions (ebook and Kindle), so combined them.
