Edition to merge. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Megh]

Hi, instead of adding a new edition, I ended up adding a new book and cannot combine. Please merge

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
as a separate edition with the ISBN and other details as added in first link
Alternatively you can delete the first link entry and I'll create a proper edition
Thanks

Hey there! Could you please delete:

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

I'm trying to add this version:

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

And I have no idea why I can't add it to my author profile.

#487 We do not merge books with valid ISBNs. I combined yours with the other editions and added a cover from amazon.ca.

#488
R.K., your Amazon profile has a space between R and K. Amazon automatically imported the book that way, so it did not land on your Goodreads profile. I removed the space to transfer it to yours. I merged the book you created into the correct edition. It's a good idea to search by ASIN if you can't find the book right off the bat.

I would like only this one to be added:

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

I have three books already and was trying to add book 4 to my series but for some reason had trouble doing so and somehow all those duplicates appeared. I was trying to add the one above but it never did. Just kept adding all those other ones instead. So I would just like the one above to be added to my books and the other ones removed.

Thank you!

In the 'books by Greg Ryan' I just want to make sure the right edition of Allowed to Die shows up with the cover showing like the other ones listed.

Could anyone merge this 2 editions of my book? One was created by me when I selfpublished it. The other one was created when I got it publish with an editor a few years after. Same book.

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

Also need to merge this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

[Nathalia]

And this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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

I have no clue WHY after a few years of the books being out I'm getting duplicated I didn't create. But please merge them.

[Nathalia]

And I don't understand why I'm seeing this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

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

Those are magazines, not books.

#490 done
#491 I deleted those and a couple more I found. I created the series.
#493 Found a merge target and added Amazon's cover
#494 The editions of this book have distinct covers and/or ISBNs. As the author, you can set which edition you want to be the primary one. Here are the instructions:
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

#495-6 When ISBNs are removed from a book's record, the database no longer has those unique identifiers to prevent duplicates from importing again. I found the book covers and merged the books with the duplicates. It's important for them to stay unless making a new cover edition.

Sometimes people do not follow policy, and they add items to the database that shouldn't be.

**Will someone else please double check these? I think the first link counts as a book and the second one does not.

#498 I am skipping this one for now. done by someone
Previously, I deleted this instead of merging as most readers reviewed both the novella and its logical merge target(s). I didn't want their reviews of the target(s) to be superseded.

#499 Well we can confirm the NAB glitch is still there. (Trying again)

Neither of those looks like a book to me.

was trying to add a new edition of the book and accidentally created a separate book instead, won't let me combine it because it got linked to a separate author profile.

If there's a different thread/solution for this, I apologize and please let me know!

Thanks!

[Emily]

#506 The author has to make that request through Goodreads Support (from the Help tab).

Hi,

Please delete:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
It just leads to: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
So, it's not a book/boxset.

Thank you so very much!

#500 done
Re: #501: The story has since been published on the author's website. Will someone confirm if it should be merged?

#505 I moved the book to the right profile. After doing that I saw that there were no duplicates, so this is the wrong thread. In the future just start a new thread in this folder.

#507-508 done
#509 merging done

#510 I merged the duplicate, but I am not sure that these qualify as books by Goodreads standards. Can you link to a website with their info?
If you want someone to go over the books you added, you will need to start a new thread in this folder and provide links to the ones you are not sure about.

Question and possible deletion: Amazon/my publisher has a free preview of the first couple chapters of this book that (apparently automatically) has uploaded to Goodreads as an actual book. Can this be deleted? I don't know if Goodreads has a policy/procedure on free previews, but it seems dumb to have it here. It appears the one review it has is a mistake that should have been posted to the book itself. I'd really like just to get rid of the Free Preview altogether, if that's allowed!

Hi,

There are three records for the same book:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Could anyone delete the two first, please?

Thanks a lot.

I hope I'm doing this right. It's a somewhat complex deletion/merging problem, and I'm not a super librarian or a power user of this website.

Goodreads has 3 editions of the same exact book (ISBN-10: 1501194135):
-This is the one with the correct title https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
-This one has the wrong title and no art. Needs to be deleted. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
-This is the one where goodreads users have been writing reviews, even though it also has the wrong title. Needs to be merged with the one with the correct title. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
