Better quality cover on edition to merge. May want to transfer that to edition to keep.

Goodreads does not delete out-of-print books or editions. Please see http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22......"
My confused readers are contacting me by email, not realizing that authors have no control over what books are listed under their names on Goodreads. Now, my new book's cover photo is connected to the old book! The new book has been completely rewritten and as a different ASIN # Please, please, remove this cover photo from the listing. I didn't put it there, I have no idea how it got there. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The newest cover was automatically imported with the book listing by Amazon on January 21. For more concerns you will have to contact Goodreads staff: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Alex Cavanaugh (alexjcavanaugh) | 2 comments An author who contributed to the Insecure Writer's Support Group Guide to Publishing and Beyond listed the book a second time and made herself the author.

This is the actual book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (I'm listed as the first author and I'm also the founder of the Insecure Writer's Support Group.)

The version that needs to be deleted - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you!


message 459: by Alex (new)

Alex Cavanaugh (alexjcavanaugh) | 2 comments There are two listings for another Insecure Writer's Support Group book - Writing For Profit. The second needs to be deleted or merged with the main listing.

The actual book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The second listing - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The book is eBook only.

Thanks!

Emily | 17467 comments #483-484 482-483 We will merge this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
But the others will just be combined. Kindle and ebook are two separate formats on Goodreads.
Also I am putting the books under your name as the primary author, as we only use group/publisher names when there is not a better option.
EDITED to add: These are now done

Should be under Kimberly Stedronsky Adams, not Kimberly Adams. It's confusing my readers. Thanks so much!

Emily | 17467 comments #488 487 I moved the book to your profile. It was automatically imported from Amazon to that profile since that's how it appears there. We will merge the other edition as it is a duplicate.

I think the second one is a bad one. I was told I need a super librarian to delete one.

Let me know how it can be fixed?

You will need to re-post your link because links do not copy and paste from post to post.


message 473: by Emily (last edited Mar 21, 2019 07:15PM) (new)

Emily | 17467 comments #494 493 These are both valid editions. Please see my response here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

At one point you had the ISBN13 in the ISBN10 slot but you corrected it, so all is well.

Nicole Pyland (nicole_pyland) | 4 comments Hello,

Librarians, please delete this version of the book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

It's a duplicate for Kindle Edition with a non-existing cover. The Cover was changed on Amazon pre-order before the book was actually released, so it should not exist on Goodreads either.

Thank you!

That was an alternate cover edition, not a duplicate. Someone reverted the change from Amazon's cover upload. I undid this, revealing a different cover from Amazon.

#503 working on This one was challenging-- but to make a long story short, the books are ACEs. One of them has writing on the very bottom (and had an incorrect ISBN) and the other doesn't. I moved the ISBNs to the newer one.


message 478: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (seabelis) | 580 comments #476 I'd reverted the cover change. The original was the same as the one on the ACE (Jun 07, 2015 12:30AM) which was created after the cover change (Jun 01, 2015 05:16AM) on the original edition. The new cover should have been on a new edition. The ACE was probably created in response to the cover change.


message 479: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17467 comments #505 OK, can another librarian please have a look then? Thanks!


message 480: by Emily (last edited Mar 22, 2019 01:13PM) (new)

Emily | 17467 comments #502 were any ARCs either ebooks or physical books distributed with the older cover?

I'm a little confused why the edition ISBN/ASIN and formats were swapped and an alternate cover edition created.

Emily | 17467 comments #510 Linda, one of the authors needs to contact Support through the Help tab at the bottom of the page or by emailing support @ goodreads . com to do this


message 485: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Pyland (nicole_pyland) | 4 comments #502 Emily, no books in any format with the old cover were distributed. The one and only cover should be this one:

Kindle Edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Paperback Edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

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

The book was in pre-order on Amazon with the old cover. That's when Goodreads linked it to my profile. But the cover was changed on Amazon before the book was released, so old cover did not get to the readers. However, it still exists on Goodreads for some reason. I tried to delete the old cover myself, and it would not work.

Alright, I have merged that edition into the correct Kindle edition. Then I recombined the paperback edition with it. It will take a couple of days for the shelvings/ratings to transfer and for the other edition to disappear from the page completely. As you figured out, since librarians have to edit certain parts of the book records, just post in the Book Issues folder if you need something in the future.

Hi!
I very much doubt that the books are ACEs. One of them is simply a very dark picture of the real cover.

Emily | 17467 comments Paulo wrote: "#503 I very much doubt that the books are ACEs. One of them is simply a very dark picture of the real cover."

Except that there was writing on the bottom of the nicer looking one and not the darker one. It says "Diario de Noticias."

ETA I have deleted everything I wrote earlier, because it was brought to my attention that this is a Portuguese newspaper whose logo matches what is on the book. It could be an ACE after all, so more research may be required.

Book already exists (Publisher entered it under another Michael R. Johnston; I've already asked for that to be fixed). I created this version by mistake.


message 493: by Emily (last edited Mar 23, 2019 07:32PM) (new)

Emily | 17467 comments #519 I could not find evidence of an ebook edition either for this limited edition comic. I think it was a placeholder added before the Kindle edition imported. Done.

#520 Done
#521 I merged all of the editions you created. I went ahead and created the ebook edition with the ISBN and cover on the publisher's website, so it will not import automatically to the wrong profile later. I created a series as well.
