Emily | 17471 comments Bivek and Paulo,
please stop creating new editions in order to merge one. If the info in an existing edition is wrong or missing, please add it in a new thread and someone will edit it, which is much easier.

Oh, okay. So only #530 can be done and maybe #532... The book will be released in October so we know for sure that one ASIN was never used/published.

Thank you

Katherine (athryn) | 336 comments Working through here (568)

Tip: if you're posting multiple entries, it helps us SLs if you number them, so we can keep track of what we're doing with long lists! Thanks!

#549 - this is the wrong thread, you need to post in "This book is not mine, please move it " and you will need to repost your links.

#551: Yes. Merged.

#557: These both have valid ISBN/ASIN, they just needed author name to be fixed and then combined. (and it looks like someone did it anyway)

#564 is there a merge target for them? I'm a little iffy on comic books, but I thought the policy was to merge them into a collected work, otherwise I'm reluctant to delete them based on the various discussions.

Everything else has been merged, (with some recombines pending,) NABd, washed, dried, and folded.

All their covers disappeared along with my reviews. I really screwed up! CouId you retrieve the data for me? (I put up the titles again, quickly, but all the data is gone. I should have 9 active books...one new one that I was just adding. Rolynn Anderson -Last Resort, Fadeout, Swoon, Faint, Lie Catchers, Bad Lies, Cezanne's Ghost, Fire is Nice, When Mountains Fall. I don't know what I did wrong...I'm begging for your help! Thanks. Rolynn (I took a Goodreads course from Diane K. Peterson...could she maybe help me?)

This is not the right thread to post your request. You should have started a new one.

All books were combined under one title. I've separated them: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list... and will merge the duplicate editions that were added.
Also, please don't use allcaps in the title field.

It can take up to a couple of days for all pages to show correctly again.

Correct title : Pour Albertine: Proust et le sens du social

Correct format : Paperback

Description (Page 4 Cover) :

Elle survient dans un roman où elle n'était pas attendue et qui, de toute façon, n'était pas son genre. Elle va ensuite y prendre une place hors de proportion avec sa vocation première. Elle quittera pourtant la scène bien avant la fin. Mais le vaste intermède de ses amours avec le héros lui aura suffi pour infléchir le cours des choses, faire que son image irradie la fiction et invite le romancier à réajuster son point de vue sur l'univers social.



Elle, c'est Albertine Simonet, la "jeune fille en fleurs", la "prisonnière", la "fugitive". La critique a toujours ignoré son rôle, alors qu'elle figure dans un tiers du roman et que, entre la noblesse rayonnante des Guermantes et la bourgeoisie mesquine des Verdurin, elle introduit une troisième voie, celle d'une bourgeoisie ascendante, éprise de grand air, de sports, d'arts et de vitesse. La jeune femme annonce la fin d'un monde et oblige à une conception plus réaliste du social, à une sociologie désenchantée.

Mais ce livre n'est pas seulement un portrait sociologique –; en parlant du style d'Albertine, de sa présence, toujours déroutante, Jacques Dubois nous propose de lire la biographie d'un personnage.

Professeur émérite de l'Université de Liège, Jacques Dubois est l'auteur d'une douzaine d'ouvrages, dont, au Seuil, Pour Albertine et Les Romanciers du réel. Il a également dirigé l'édition " Pléiade " en trois tomes des romans de Georges Simenon.

RE: 564

Yes, you're correct they should be merged if there's a target, but if not they should be deleted. Otherwise, we just let all the individual comics added against policy remain on GR?

Thanks so much for saving my life on Goodreads :-). I will read directions more carefully in the future. Rolynn

Katherine (athryn) | 336 comments #578, doing a little bit more digging on these, according to the publisher's website, they were published as limited edition hardbound copies in addition to the magazine edition, (plus some of them have ISBNS.)

We usually leave magazines alone if they've been sold as perfectbound/have ISBNs.

Okay, thanks for checking- I missed the one edition that had an ISBN. I'll just ignore comics in general from now on; it's too hard to tell for sure even when most of them shouldn't have been added in the first place.


message 538: by Katherine (new)

Katherine (athryn) | 336 comments Yeah, if you look at other librarian discussions of comic books/manga, they are a little bit of a fraught issue.

No, please do not do that. Please start a new thread, link to the empty edition, and write what needs to be added or changed. It is much easier.
