Please delete this book! (pt. 53) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
please delete this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...it's not only missing a lot of key info, but the person had the author's name AND title completely wrong, making it unable to find this book through search. the correct thing to do would be adding another edition from the original book, not creating a whole new book.
please and thank you
Please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...it's duplicate to this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I have combined these editions, but it appears to me that two are duplicates. Please delete the duplicates and combine the remaining with the Kindle edition for this author. Thanks.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The Imposter's Handboook has only one ebook edition so this one is a duplicated https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (the other one has a little more data)
Working through #220#200-202 done
#203 I moved the other edition to the correct profile and combined them. This thread is "please delete this book." Next time just start a new topic thread.
#204-207 done
#208 (162, 173) Another librarian or moderator will need to finish this one up
#209-212 done
#213 Is the other one without the ISBN also a duplicate?
#214 This edition was automatically imported by Amazon. If you click on the Amazon buy link you will see it is wrong on the site. I am fixing the edition here and will recombine it with the correct editions, as that is easier and preferred to deleting something and starting over.
#215 done
#216 I added the ASIN and other info to one. I merged the other two that had no data.
#217-218 done
#219 Done, next time please separate out the two editions for merging
#220 The covers are different, so they cannot be merged. They are alternate cover editions of the same book.
#222 done, always search by ISBN first :-)

#231 wrong thread#232-236 done
#238 done, remember to put which one to recombine with
#239 done, make sure I combined it back with the right one
#240 done, I merged the 2 empty editions. We don't merge the ones with ASIN or ISBN.
Hello!I need this specific edition deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I don't know why it exists. All the relevant information for the book is in the other edition of the book. Seems like at some point some well-meaning user tried to add the book a second time or something.
Hello again.I also need this specific edition deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Similar to above issue. Just duplicates.
The book at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... is a no-ISBN no-cover edition added by "Goodreads User".Based on the dates of the six users who have added this edition, they all are *probably* fine to add to the (default) first edition.
#242-243 Done; please note we do not add cover artists to the author field. I have removed them and listed them in the description field. You will want to go back and edit any others you have added.#244 done
Hello!Following specific edition should be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This version originally had the ISBN 10 and the main version had the ISBN 13. All information is on the ISBN 13 version and I've moved the ISBN 10 number over. The version that I'd like deleted also uses the pre-publication cover art (as Paizo puts a mock-up cover on their website before the final version is done as a filler). Moral of the story is that it's unnecessary.
Following specific edition should be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...Duplicate of regular version, seemingly generated from the Amazon page instead of the Paizo webpage. Has an old temp cover that they used on their website before the real one was published (which Amazon still uses for some reason).
Please delete this bookhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
There is another same book with ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Following specific editions should be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Duplicates of regular version under the ISBN 10 of the books rather than the ISBN 13. Already moved the ISBN 10s over to the regular entries with the correct cover art and such.
Please don't move the ISBNs or ASINs. We try not to move them unless absolutely necessary for fixing a record. Reasons can include having moved them previously for ACEs, which one is default, etc. It has to be done in a certain order before one can be merged. You can just state what needs to be done and someone will take care of it. Thanks.
EDIT: It's best if you wait to add all of the details until after one of the editions is merged. That way you won't have to redo it in case the one to be merged is the one you edited.
Hi!This page grouping three of my books as some unauthorized 'boxset' suddenly showed up yesterday. I don't know how but I think one of the two reviewers created it, complete with a fake ISBN and a screenshot'd cover photo straight from Amazon and a slightly altered summary of Book 1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Can it be removed? If not, what would happen if it were combined with one of the books in the series?
Thank you,
Lucy
#252 Lucy, this is what we call a "one-click buy" and it is auto-imported from Amazon as they assign it its own ASIN. It's not a real box set so the practice is to merge it with the first book of the series, which will preserve the ratings/reviews, and we will mark it as Not a Book so that it will not import again. We will do this as we go down the thread later.
This is a short story that has never appeared as a standalone volume. The cover is the cover of the anthology it originally appeared in. Sad as I am to lose a nice review, deleting the entry is probably the best course.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
No details, please merge with default. (The full title is actually Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Edit: Note that posts 256, 257, and 258 all involved the same title
truncated ISBN, please merge with default (which I think has the correct full ISBNs)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
truncated ISBN, please merge with separated default (which I think has the correct full ISBNS)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
and re-combine with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
#246 The edition you said to delete was automatically imported. It's much easier to create an alternate cover edition and move the ISBN to that one rather than transfer all the info after deleting. If we can show that there were no pre-publication editions then we can simply change the cover. I think you're creating more work for yourself :-/ see my post below the next one#247 Pending. Next time please separate the two editions out and combine them together first. It takes a looong time for books with so many shelvings.
#246, 248, 250 I'm leaning toward making these ACEs (with the ISBNs on the newest editions) and then the author can just set the default editions. They have been out for so long that it is hard to make the call. Another librarian/moderator can weigh in though.
#249 Done
#252 Done, it will take a day or two to disappear completely

Hello, My book The Forgotten Village is retitled The Forgotten Wife in Canada. The two versions have been merged together on the Goodreads listings. I still have two other versions listed and wonder if you can delete both of these.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
and
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Hope that's ok. Thanks so much in advance. Lorna
#264 these are valid editions, so they cannot be deleted.I combined them with other editions.
As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default that will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile. Please see: Setting default edition
