Please delete this book! (pt. 54) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
Is there any way someone can delete this? I made it by accident. (I was messing around on the page and bumped the enter key.) I apologize for making this thing. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Mike wrote: "There seems to be some kind of ambiguity here and I need to clear it up. I hate to pester, but—again—no book with this title exists."Mike, that book imported on its own from Amazon today--it wasn't there when your previous post was addressed. I have changed the title and combined it with the others. If it happens again, just make a new thread in this folder and someone will fix it.
Please delete - short story only published in magazines or collection, already combined with collection:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
At this point, there's about 3 other short stories that are attached to that collection by now, so whoever is working down may find that it's already been deleted. I didn't want to mess things up and delete posts.
Please delete this bookhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

There is another same book

And add
Title : भैरव अर्यालका हास्यव्यङ्ग्य [Bhairab Aryal Ka Hasya Bangya
Original Title : भैरव अर्यालका हास्यव्यङ्ग्य
Author Name in Nepali : भैरव अर्याल
These 2 books are duplicated:1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
And they are a Portuguese edition of this book, so it should be merged: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

#591: (Hi Emily) Daily Science Fiction seems to be an online magazine, so I treated them like magazine published short stories. Edit: My source for considering it a magazine - it's an email delivered magazine, source: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?3...
Could you double check 568-574? They still seem to be non-deleted. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but 18 hours seems like enough time for the system to have digested the changes.

#499 I referred to Support a couple days ago.
Hi all!My name is Taylor Brown (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...). It appears that my new novel, Pride of Eden, has two listings:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Although only the first listing appears in search, the second listing (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...) is the correct one. Could we possibly merge these two listings, or else delete the first one?
Thank you so much!
I thought that since the Daily Science Fiction site posts the stories every day, that it wasn't the same as a magazine. However, if they are compiled first, that is different. This could be a gray area that someone else wants to take a look at.

Thanks for replying! I was about to update. Someone was really going overboard on making duplicate editions with split ISBNs.
Please merge these two (ISBN 10 & 13 divided between two records):https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Hi, do you mean then we need remove the first one and keep just the second one? Is it correct?

Please clarify, what to do with two books? There are two entities with a bit different info. We can remove one, but do we need to update some info on the second one? And which one to keep?
#629-630 Alexey, these are a different situation and don't need to be separated. We just need them in this thread. For context to others, the author says they are ending the series at issue 193, so 194 needs to be NAB'ed

There seems to be some kind of ambiguity here and I need to clear it up. I hate to pester, but—again—no book with this title exists. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
The two main entires were merged successfully after my earlier post, and I appreciate that, but "The Day It Finally Happens: The Good News About the Bad News―and the Bad News About the Good News" was a temporary title that was completely discarded by my publisher (but a few places online still have this title by mistake). Nothing ever went to print with that name, nor will it.
The book is called "The Day It Finally Happens: Alien Contact, Dinosaur Parks, Immortal Humans—and Other Possible Phenomena." There's no edition with any (English) title other than that one.
So to be absolutely clear:
"The Day It Finally Happens: Alien Contact, Dinosaur Parks, Immortal Humans—and Other Possible Phenomena." = Real book going into print now.
"The Day It Finally Happens: The Good News About the Bad News―and the Bad News About the Good News" = Not the name of any book that has been published or will be published.
Sorry that was so long and repetitive. I just didn't want to leave room for any ambiguity.
