#266 Lizzie wrote: "The book already exists in Kindle and Paperback versions with the correct issue dates and covers."Looks like this is an ebook edition with an ISBN that was automatically imported. Ebook and Kindle are treated separately on Goodreads; ebook referring to any ebook not sold on Amazon.

re. the covers with slightly different tones:
1 has a higher-quality cover image, this one shown here: https://www.amazon.com/World-Goes-Lás...
2 has a lower-quality image cropped from a photograph of a copy of the book, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/World-Goes-Lás...
Cancelling this for the moment - GR friend has copy of ARC as well as hardback and is going to photograph for comparison
I've noticed a lot of mistakes about DeAnna Cameron's (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) books, and some other about Deanna Cameron's (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...) ones.In DeAnna's books, three of them aren't actually hers:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
In Deanna's books, one of them shouldn't exist because it's a duplicate:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Can you delete them? Thank you!

#268 Can someone let me know the workaround to make the book records show Deanna instead of DeAnna? I've tried several things and it keeps reverting to DeAnna.
Emily wrote: "#268 Can someone let me know the workaround to make the book records show Deanna instead of DeAnna?

I think the last name has to be different for it to take.
#269 You will need to contact Support for this request:https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...
#270
#271 This thread is for deleting books. Please post in the thread "this book is not mine," you will need to re-copy and paste your links because they do not copy and paste from post to post. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Alison wrote "Try DeannaCameron and then go back and add the space. Or Deanna CameronX and remove the X. I think the last name has to be different for it to take." #277 But when I do those and change the name back, it re-capitalizes the A. 🤷♀️
Emily wrote: "But when I do that and change the name back, it re-capitalizes the A. I tried a couple other things too."I think I've had some accents appear where I hadn't used them, so I believe you! For step 2, did you try changing the name on the profile instead of on the book and vice versa? I'm sure you did, that's just my last idea.
Are you trying to change it to Deanna^Cameron? That profile doesn't currently exist. https://www.goodreads.com/author/simi...
Could that be the issue? If so, create a fake book by Deanna^Cameron to get that name in the system and then delete it later. <--Grasping-at-straws idea.
Emily wrote: "#268 Can someone let me know the workaround to make the book records show Deanna instead of DeAnna? I've tried several things and it keeps reverting to DeAnna."Did you forget the space? DeAnna^Cameron vs Deanna^^Cameron.
I had no issue correcting the author for these editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Capitalization or accents are not enough to disambiguate authors. It has to be done with spaces.

thanks for the rest. what about #231 and #232? they are still standing separated as correct and duplicate editions.
#276 the books are already under Deanna's name, they were just created for no reasons under DeAnna's as well. I was thinking of deleting them instead of changing the author's name? Because they already exist as the real ones here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (book 1)and here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (book 2)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...ISBN 9789056755419 is incorrect, please merge with correct edition (ISBN 9789056725419) and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thanks!

Hello. I mistakenly added a generic page for my book. I'm not sure how to paste the correct location in here, so here's the info the old-fashioned way:Author Name - Legne Hardt
Duplicate Book Name - Anticipation of Desire
Series Name - Lady Quin's Houseparty
There is a book listing Of Anticipation of Desire with a photo cover- I want to keep that one. There is also a book listing of Anticipation of Desire with a manila Goodreads symbol for the book cover - I want to delete that one.
Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

Please do the same with the german edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (the ISBN is invalid) and than remerge with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Thanks
This https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... was definitely the placeholder (now duplicate) and I think it should be merged. It can't be ACE because it's identical to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Right?
Please delete this duplicate:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
This is the proper one with correct information:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I combined them together but couldn't delete the duplicate as I'm not a super-librarian. Thanks in advance.

I think it was originally a troll attempt on Amazon that got scraped. Amazon has since deleted the book.
I ended up adding two listings of my upcoming book thinking I could just go back and put the ISBN in the ISBN-13 box. I had it in the first box. This is the one that is wrong and I was wondering if it could be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...Thanks.
Hi,Please delete:
www.goodreads.com/book/show/41070505
As it just leads to:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753GW94N
Which is NOT a book, just a listing for the series on Amazon.
I dunno why people are adding more of these and it's going against GR policy and just creates more work for us. And it is just unnecessary time wasting by creating it in the first place, and for us to chase it down, to have it deleted by super librarians. Unbelievably ridiculous!
Thank you!
Amazon adds them automatically to Goodreads, so it's an endless task!
Hello, could a Goodreads Librarian help me. Can you merge these 2 sites. They are the same book, the same cover. One was put up by Amazon and the other by Xpresso Tours, which I hired for promo purposes. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thank you Cathrina Constantine
