Please delete this book! (pt. 55) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
Jolie wrote: "I self-published the book and it's been removed from Smashwords and Amazon for over a year now. Is there no way to delete it from here?"No, sorry. Goodreads does not remove out-of-print books. Unlike Amazon et al., GR is not a bookstore but (strives to be) a database of all books ever published. See https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
...Aaaand I see you have vandalized the book again. Please STOP doing that.
Please delete this Book. I already put this edition under the all editions of this book. But when you scan barcode, they show you this.https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/4...
Hi,The Turkish edition of Thomas Bernhard's The Lime Works was added twice. I'd appreciate it if you delete the second one that lacks some information.

Please separate (I am not a librarian) and merge:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
with (correct edition):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thanks!
Working on 891 through 914 - everything done, just waiting on recombines894 - it has a valid ASIN, so I can't delete it. I've combined it with the ebook edition.
898-900 - in the future, if they are all the same title (especially one that's as huge as The Scarlet Letter) please put all the requests in one post, so we know that they all have the same recombine target. Thanks!
902 - looks like it's already done
907 #3 - this is a 1-click series that needs to be marked as NAB. If you are able to next time you see one of these, merge it with the first book in the series and mark it as needing to be NABd.
Please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and recombine.I know the pub dates differ, but the correct pub date is on the merge target. The edition to be merged once had the ASIN for the merge target, it was needlessly removed before publication and the pub date must've subsequently changed.
Hi, I accidentally marked my Book Hard Cover, rather than Kindle and am not able to add my book cover. Can you help?https://www.amazon.com/UNS-UCK-YOURSE...
TIA!

You don't need a login or be a subscriber to read it, and DSF is not really an online magazine IMO, they just publish a short story each day. (I know it's often a thin line...)

I've been wondering about this myself. ISFDB considers DSF a "webzine" and collects their stories under monthly publications. When I've run across them I've left them alone, but I think if a merge target was created, it would make sense to merge them into it. Other web based magazines are treated similarly.
For example: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cg...
Edit: they consider themselves a magazine, so it's generally against policy. I've deleted it.
working on 918-926 done, recombines pending
Please delete this book from my authorship, I am not the author of it. The book is, The Qumran Diary: Vi veri veniversum vivus vici.Thank you

Please delete "The Transition: A Practical Guide to Engagement for the Catolic Man" ISBN 9781697213119.This book was never published and no copies were sold or otherwise distributed. The typo in the title was noticed after ISBN assignment, but before publication.

Hi, can someone merge these two editions?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thank you!
Please delete my mistaken entry. I was trying to add an existing book and created this aberration of an entry instead! :) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I have now managed to do this two more times Sigh... I'm trying to add an existing book and apparently hitting enter publishes the bloody thing rather than picks the existing bookdelete
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
But I also can't add the correct listing to my author profile https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
#946 + #947 done - no super neededSam, the systems does as expected. You add a new book and you get exactly that. You can't move books from another profile to yours that way - only librarians (or staff) can do move books from a different profile to another.
Books get imported on the wrong profile quite often because of the spaces GR uses to seperate authors with the same name.
The way to go without duplicates is ask here e.g. in this thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... or open a new one.
I merged your empty duplicates into the moved kindle edition.
I also changed your formats to the correct one (they are kindle instead of ebook) and added a Book Lover series.
It might take some time until the duplicates are vanished.
Please merge duplicate (Spanish edition), the ASIN is in the wrong slot https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Thanks
A sci-fi book called Bodega has two editions listed, however I am near certain there is only one edition of it. One of these editions (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...) lacks an ISBN number and the assigned published date is not true.
1 click series listings to merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
a spanish 1 click series listing https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...I separated the spanish #1 to merge it with - needs to be recombined afterwards with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
Please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...I was trying to upload this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4..., and something happened, making a book with one of the author's names.
