#896 Done-Roman, next time please make a post explaining any changes that need to be made instead of creating new editions, as it is much easier that way.
#897-898 done
#899 ASINs can vary according to the version of the Amazon website they use. So one of these is valid for amazon.ca, one for amazon.com, one for audible.com, etc. People are welcome to add them, even if they are essentially the same editions. Only one of these Audible editions had no ASIN, so I have merged it with the most popular edition.

#904 I merged the edition without ISBN in the first link and the one with the wrong ISBN in the second link.
Please delete the following: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...It should be an alternate edition of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... . However it's not and the author isn't the appropriate one. I attempted to create the new edition with the second link but I can't until the first is deleted.
Thanks! (please let me know so I can create the new edition OR you can do it if you wish!)

Anthony, I have responded to your other posts within this thread. I'm not sure why you are not looking at the thread for a response.
#906 I fixed the author and combined it with the other editions. It is a valid edition with ISBN and can't be deleted. Do you have a link to a source for adding a new edition that we can help with?

I cannot delete the book since I'm not a superlibrarian--can one of you all do it? Or can the author himself delete it? Thank you!

They've both got the wrong author profile and there's errors in the description of the latest book (Amazon already publishing the fix). I'll create a new book version once it's done.
This following book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Is a duplicate of this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I saw it while looking to add it to my reading shelf. The first one doesn't hold the information the second one has either.
Hello,Can someone delete this as I'm pretty this is no a book but maybe some kind of ad

#913 If you make a mistake when adding a book, it is much easier for us to fix it instead of deleting it and you creating a new one.
Adding the ISBN13 (the 978 number) to the ISBN10 field truncates the numbers. I have merged the duplicates and corrected the ISBN13s.
#914 and #929 Authors need to contact Support for those requests.

#915 done
#916 and #917 Someone else entered the ISBN after you had posted this.
#918 the ISBN was entered in the wrong field. I found the rest of the numbers and put it in the correct one.
#919 done
#920 done; you did this correctly; next time if the Kindle edition is the default, then the books can all be combined together without separating. You can go ahead and combine the whole lot as they don't have to be done separately.
We also remove the secondary author(s) before merging.
#921 done
#923-926 done

#928 They weren't duplicates--one is paperback and one is Kindle, like on your other book. I combined them.
#931 done
#932 and 933 This is the wrong thread for your request. Please post in "This book is not mine" here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
You will need to re-copy and paste your links as they do not copy from post to post.

#936 Pegaz, I have moved those to your profile so you can make the necessary edits (or you can make a new post requesting them). We don't delete valid listings; we just edit them if they need editing.
#937-938 Done

Please delete this book. It is not a published piece of work and I did not have permission to add it. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Please delete this book as well. It is unpublished and I did not have permission from the playwright to add the title to the database. Ugh.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

It's a magazine.
Also I got a question. It says that regular librarians CAN delete books, but only with less than 5 reviews. But it's happened to me so often that a book has like one review (this one has only one person that marked it as to-read) and it apparently still has "too many reviews for me to delete". Does anyone know why that happens?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... Please can this be deleted It was unpublished from Amazon...
#942-943 In most cases you do not need permission to add a book to Goodreads. If it is a placeholder for a future publication or an advance reader copy, it is still ok to add. If you have questions or want it to be deleted, you should contact Support and give more detail about these books. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...#945 Regular librarians can *merge* items with <5 "reviews" which really just means "shelvings." Only staff and superlibrarians can *delete* an item outright that has more than 0 shelvings, so posting here is appropriate.
#946 Goodreads does not delete books once they become out of print or no longer for sale. Please see:
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... and
https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Hi there - Can you please delete this book from my author page? It's a duplicate. Thank you. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
#944 done#945 pending
#948 done
#949 It is the Kindle edition and not a duplicate. I have combined it with the paperback.
#951 No, they are distinct editions. I reverted the change where the ASIN was removed.

I was referred to this thread because I need a super librarian's help.
I am actually trying to merge 'audible audio' editions and not delete any book. I was denied access as it is a best selling book with too many reviews.
These are the audible editions separated from the original work, including the correct one:
