For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread. [Non-librarians: Please just note in your requests that you are unable to complete this step.]

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

Annika | 568 comments There are two editions of this book, both have the same information, but the most sehlved one is incomplete - and with a "wrong" cover. Could you delete the incomplete one. Thanks.

Emily | 17458 comments #6 ETA I see that you have done this.


Christian, you will need to repost your link (not copy and paste) and make your request in this thread, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
as this one is for deleting books.


message 8: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17458 comments #5 To someone else: There have been discussions on this magazine. Can you clarify whether it is a book?


message 9: by Antonomasia (last edited Feb 06, 2019 08:21AM) (new)

Antonomasia | 514 comments What I think has happened here is that, seeing a 'no image available' placeholder cover for a new book, someone created an ACE to show the actual cover, rather than replacing the placeholder with the actual cover. (I deleted the placeholder just now and then reverted that change.) They are listed as ACEs in librarian notes. I think these two editions should be merged.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
and
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I have separated them but this book is getting a lot of attention at the moment so wouldn't be too surprised if they end up combined with the main listing again.

Antonomasia | 514 comments Sorry, another one for the same work:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
to be merged into the most popular edition.
This was previously listed under a different author profile.

I started adding librarian notes when separating one for merging because the same thought occurred to me one day.

Alison | 961 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... merge into default, no unique details


Elizabeth (Alaska) Default has truncated ISBN and no cover

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

This edition has no ISBN and is the hardcover on Amazon

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

Those ISBNs are:

ISBN-10: 1743792476
ISBN-13: 978-1743792476

(same ISBNs at amazon.com.au and with the page count shown here at GR)

Cristina | 1 comments Duplicate entry:

I've generated this book (which I've translated) by mistake: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

That version should be deleted and merged with this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Can you please help me out? Thank you!


message 23: by Esther (new)

Esther | 1 comments Duplicates here. This one can be deleted:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

And this one can probably be merged:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

With the original here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thank you!

Emily | 17458 comments Bea, don't forget to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread (see message 1).
Also, as long as you're editing the edition to keep: if you notice it says Audiobook but it is an Audible edition, you can change the format to Audible Audio instead of Audiobook.

#19-21 Done
#22 Changed primary author, merged, added your name to correct edition
#23 Done
#24 Combined and merged the empty Kindle edition. Then recombined alternate cover edition with the original and the other editions. (Merge means delete on Goodreads)


Elizabeth (Alaska) no details, please merge with separated default (ABC Books is a division of Harper Collins Australia)

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

and recombine with

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

thank you

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #26 the cover on empty edition is different than other covers...

EDIT: The edition without data is an ACE. Marked accordingly and also added ACE for Kindle (same cover change).

Mihai Buduleanu | 4 comments Hi

The following need to be removed
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...


First two are duplicate entries of the below two and the trilogy entry makes no sense, as there's already a series page and individual books maintained.

message 28: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #28 First two are valid paperback editions. I combined them with other editions.

Series listing will be merged shortly.


message 29: by Antonomasia (new)

Antonomasia | 514 comments No details, can be merged with most popular edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...


message 30: by Susan (new)

Susan Gaines | 2 comments Hi Librarians. I am trying to "inhabit" and clean up my authors page in preparation for a new release

There is a duplicate entry for my book Echoes of Life: What Fossil Molecules Reveal About Earth History.
It also has the wrong title (Of Mud an Molecules)--I believe the publisher may have added this before the book was released, as that was its working title.
Can someone please delete it?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/2...

THanks!

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #30 done
#31 it's a valid edition with unique ISBN; I corrected the title to match the cover

Zoey Ellis (zoeyellis) | 43 comments Hi

A duplicate of one of my books has suddenly shown up. The duplicate is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

But the book already exists here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Please can someone delete or merge?

Thanks

#42 Amazon will eventually upload a copy of the book with the ASIN if it is not added into the manually created record; that is why it just appeared suddenly. I have merged your other one into it, and the shelvings will transfer over.

The isbn10 and isnb13 are correct. It's the same book. Please keep the second cover. It's nicer. Recombine with:

Yael Shahar | 44 comments Can someone please delete A Damaged Mirror?

This is a pre-release cover design study which shows up as an actual edition. In fact, no book was ever published with this cover.
