rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Can this edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) please be merged into the default edition? There is no information there accept the fact that it is in English. :)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments What do I do about this book that has an invalid ISBN number? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Renske | 12223 comments 732 Done

733 I wouldn't delete that one. It is the only ebook edition.

734 It is not a duplicate but a valid edition as both audio CD editions have different ISBNs


message 709: by Renske (last edited Oct 20, 2014 08:30AM) (new)

Renske | 12223 comments As it seems a valid book, it is not something the librarians will delete. But if there are any issues like legal issues, they should contact the staff https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta... as the staff handles that kind of issues.


message 712: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments I don't know what to do with this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) because that ASIN number is actually the ASIN number of the German edition of this book. Do I delete the edition and remake one with the correct information + cover or just edit this one?? :)

Okay. Will do. Thanks! :)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Can https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... please be combined. They both lack an ISBN/ASIN but are both kindle edition with little (matching) detail.

duplicate, invalid isbn (cover is not showing on bookpage, cover is showing in editions list and when you edit the book).

please recombine

Thank you. Query: What does NAB'd mean?


message 724: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12223 comments 748 NAB means Not A Book. If we would delete items like a DVD but they have an ISBN they could be re-imported. Therefore we have special profile/list for those items to prevent their return.

749 Done

Ah, interesting. Thank you.


message 732: by Laina (new)

Laina SpareTime | 22 comments Ah, bit of an odd question - for privacy reasons, could I get permission from someone to PM them about a possible "book" deletion?


message 733: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 233 comments This company lists 741 notebooks of various styles. Must we work through the entries one at a time, or can a staff or super librarian NAB them all at one go?: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

If it needs that level of privacy, please use the Contact Us link on the Help page instead of asking for a librarian to delete it.

Kathy, if each and every item of theirs is NAB-worthy, any librarians can merge the "author" into the NOT A BOOK author.

(smacks self on forehead with palm of hand) Of COURSE we can!

Thank you, Rivka. Think I need to sign off and get some sleep.

It is a duplicate of this:

message 743: by Deon (new)

Deon (deonva) | 3718 comments 769, this book is in a giveaway, so deleting an edition should wait until it is over (nov. 1)


message 744: by ReadingFrog (new)

ReadingFrog | 139 comments Please delete this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Which is a duplicate of this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Thank you.


message 745: by Z-squared (last edited Oct 23, 2014 04:10PM) (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 771, i reverted the cover change/isbn moves you made. The original cover attached to that record is not the same as the edition you wished to merge it to. Please be careful when sorting through duplicates. if you have to delete a cover AND move an ISBN to get something to merge, chances are you're violating Goodreads policy.

In the meantime, I found another edition that IS a duplicate and am merging for you.


message 746: by ReadingFrog (new)

ReadingFrog | 139 comments Thank you! I just looked at the edition you input the ISBN for and this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
is actually original Shueisha Japanese edition. It had previously been listed as the VIZ Media English edition.

Mystery solved. :) General rule is if the cover attached to a record and other publication info conflict, go with the cover.

Evyta Ar (evytaar) | 2 comments same edition. double book. please delete this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

similar to the right one

message 750: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 1368 comments Would it be appropriate for this edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) that has an invalid ISBN number to be merged with this edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) that has a valid, but different, ISBN number and the same details? :)
