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

Renske | 12350 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.

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?? :)

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


message 724: by Renske (new)
Oct 22, 2014 04:57AM

Renske | 12350 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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? :)
