The first book's title is wrong, though obviously the blurb is the same for both


message 203: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17453 comments #226 It's a valid edition. The title must have been changed later on.

Marte (marteawqakuq) | 61 comments hi!!

lethe | 16359 comments I may have caused confusion by replying out of turn to #211 (sorry about that), but I think #197 to #210 still need doing? At least, they have not been acknowledged yet :)

Yes I was waiting on them to all be done before posting from 204 on. :-) You're all good.

These books are not duplicates and needed to be combined, not deleted. I have combined them. As it happens, one is a duplicate of another edition so I am merging it.

Then please recombine with the ebook.

is it possible that #201 got skipped?

Katherine (athryn) | 336 comments #241 my apologies, I swear I'd worked through (and made my post) right after #197, not sure how it slipped a few more through in between.

#242 done

Soobie is expired (soobiemennym) | 30 comments Duplicate:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

(The cover is different because the images come from different sources. The first edition was published in 2008, there can't be one published in 1992)

No need to recombine.

Since the first Kindle device was released in 2007, looks like the pub date is a typo and the other entry claiming 2011 as the first edition for this title is correct.

Page count differs quite a bit, but Portuguese print editions have 560.

Please merge and recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Thanks!

I will then recombine the proper version with the original book. Thanks in advance!

Why should they be removed? They all have ISBNs, so are valid editions.


message 228: by Anna (new)

Anna (lilfox) | 91 comments But there are already books with same titles and all correct data and spelling that were added by Goodreads User (beneath part for description it says "Description Source amazon_kcw ").


message 229: by Antonomasia (new)

Antonomasia | 514 comments It looks like they just need to be combined with the other editions of those titles.


message 230: by lethe (new)

lethe | 16359 comments @Antonomasia - agreed.

@Anna - editions with ISBNs should never be deleted. If there are duplicate editions with which they should be merged, please combine them together and post the link here.

If they merely need combining and cleaning up of the titles, that is something you can either do yourself, or request to have it done in a separate thread, not in this one.


message 231: by Fiona (new)

Fiona | 1 comments I'm not sure if this should be combined with Infinity Son (to which it might be referring) or if it should simply be deleted? My instinct is to delete as there is nothing but speculation and nobody claims to have actually read it. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Emily | 17453 comments Working on 232 through this post.

Nobody claims to read it cause premiere is in nearly 5 months.


message 236: by Ayshe (new)

Ayshe | 3084 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... - the 'e' at the end must be a typo, I can't find book by that title.

Emily | 17453 comments Working through here and am updating this post as I go.
#232 Done. (For future reference, if the ARC/unpublished copy had a different cover from the others, it can't be deleted.)

#233-235 done
#236 done
#237pending done
Toffee, if you see this, please do not delete the links from your posts in case someone needs to go back and check something. You can use the strikethrough HTML or you can put Done at the top of the post. Thanks.


#238 done
#239 done; many are!
#244-250 done
#251-256 done

#257-261 If users add books without the ISBN, then Amazon or another source will import them separately, thereby creating a duplicate. We can edit the imported book if there are errors and merge the placeholder that the user created.

#262, 265 You are correct that those needed to be merged as they were placeholders. I merged them with their corresponding editions.
There is one valid ARC edition where people have already read the book, but most of the time people add regular placeholders or "Untitled" books until the real one is put on Goodreads, whether or not they have read it.

#263 done
#266-7 done

#268 Paradox, this is "please delete this book." You will need to post in "this book is not mine." Please re-copy and paste your links as they do not copy from post to post.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
#269 done

#270 Done; it is much easier to edit a book's information than to separate, combine, merge, and then recombine. That process can take a long time and can time out, especially for books with many editions. For the future, please post in a new thread and let us know what to edit instead of creating new editions. I also encourage you to apply for Goodreads librarian status if you haven't already lately and mention the languages that you know. (I don't know anything about the process, but it would be worth applying.)

#271 done
#272 done

ETA still merging

Btw thanks for your help, but I was confused since the title change and librarian note I made was still intact, I did not realize it had already been combined. Next time just post again and revert any title change that was made if you combine them.

#196 - Covers and translators are different


This book has one edition in Poland. Cover is the same, maybe colours are a little different but c'mon, there are photos, it can be a little different.
In one of them someone put name of one from two translators, in second someone put names both translators. Still it is the same book, because it had one edition.

This book has been published in Poland for the first time in 2017 and it has one edition (publisher web: https://www.swiatksiazki.pl/cma-63424...).
The right edition is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
