Please delete this book! (pt. 55) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]
Please delete these eight entries:(1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2..., it is a duplicate of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Each is a English language Kindle edition without an ASIN and, if at all possible, should be merged with the English language Kindle edition listed subsequent to each entry. Despite appearing different, I do not believe the first five are alternate covers, but rather the paperback cover mistakenly purported as Kindle.
Hello,I posted this in Authors and Book Marketing where a member suggested I post it here...
"My new book, The Best Hamburgers in Hell, appears in the Goodreads search but had no cover image. I tried to add the cover through the author dashboard. Now the book appears twice. How can I get the cover image of my book to show?"
(member) Tal responded:
"Actually that book has three entries so I suggest you post in the GR Librarian's Group where they can combine/merge the duplicate(s) and get the correct book data added, including cover"
Thanks to all
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...although the note says these are 2 alternate cover editions, the one with the ISBN has... no cover. So it seems useless to me.
The 2005 edition with that ISBN only has that one cover, so please delete the duplicate and move the ISBNs to the one with cover.
re-combine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
thanks
Polish edition needs merging see Emy's note.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Hi John, I combined the three editions, added the cover to the paperback and seeing that there also is a Kindle edition up on Amazon, added the info to one of the other editions.
The third, empty, edition has been merged. No superlibrarian necessary.
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (Sphere 1987, 12th printing)I had added the ACE note to the description before seeing that the cover image is exactly the same as the Sphere 1984 edition (1st printing): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
So the only difference between the two is the printing. Please merge the 1987 edition and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Thanks!

Please post in the thread "This book is not mine" and provide a link to each book that is not yours. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
There are 50 books listed on your profile. Are all of them yours except the ones you listed? If not, you may wish to write to Support and have them move you and your books to a new profile, as more wrong books would continue to import to yours otherwise. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

#65 I would need someone else to rule on these before merging books with different covers. I can make ACE notes on them. #67 done
#68
#69 done
Emily wrote: "#65 I would need someone else to rule on these before merging books with different covers. I can make ACE notes on them."I patiently await this ruling. All I can say to bolster my position is that Kindle/Comixology graphic novels never have alternate covers, as I'm certain representatives of those services would attest. If there are different covers for the same book concurrently, they're limited to special edition or anniversary printings, which are always explicitly advertised as such in the titles and on the covers, and listed under a different ASIN.
#78 Thank you for those details. Someone will look at it soon.EDIT:
I think you're right, as investigating this further it appears someone added them all without ASIN and the regular edition was added later. We just have to be extra careful in situations like this.
Can you delete this one for me, please, and I'll create an alternative cover edition instead ?Thanks,
Lynda~

no deletion needed, the books have been corrected (see posts #82-83)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
I don't know if these 2 are real books: the "author" E. Stranieri doesn't exist: "Scrittori italiani e stranieri" (that is, putting together the supposed title + author of the books) is indeed the name of an imprint by Italian publisher Mondadori (the words mean "Italian and foreign writers" in Italian)
http://catalogostorico.fondazionemond...|||
maybe they should be NABed?

Moloch, if you try the Look Inside function, can you discover which book it is supposed to be?

thanks for your suggestion! I did, now they are alright. :-)I'm editing the post 81, the books no longer need to be deleted

Hi,... I am a new author (well... new to goodreads) and accidentally created the same book twice on my author pages... (albeit with slightly different spellings)How do I get a super-librarian to delete the duplicate? I cant seem to do so.
Jeffrey A Robinson - the duplicate is the one without a cover (and title in lower case "deadly vantage")

They are all different editions, so should not be merged. I have combined them instead.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Please merge into the Kindle edition. It's a magazine (not a book) with no ISBN/ASIN
Thesehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6539009 [IMDB],

Please delete them.
Please merge into the default: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...And NAB ISBN 0792292553 / 9780792292555 (it's a DVD)
Working through #97#80 looks like you already made an ACE; next time you can just manually move the ASIN and make it an ACE instead
#84-85
#87 has been done
#91-97 done
When convenient, I would like someone else's opinion about #65/78-79
My request (#6) was supposed to be merged by now (see #11), but a week later it still isn't. Is that even possible? If necessary, please retry the merge.
#99 done, sorry about that, please recombine as I am not sure what it goes with. Next time just link to the one that needs merging
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...Please merge and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
