something_ | 1 comments Hello,
Could you please delete this book? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (Sangue & Fogo, no ISBN)

It's a duplicate of ISBN 9897731369 (Sangue e Fogo), which (supposedly) is already the most popular edition for that work.

Thank you.

Emily | 17452 comments Working on #306 through 341 and will update this post
Please do not delete your post, as the numbering will be off.

#306-307, 309 Merged and NAB'ed
#310-311 done

#312 Nicole, you need to contact Support for this:
https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

#314 Merged and NAB'ed
#315-317 done
#318-319 Merged with box sets and NAB'ed
#320-324 done

#325 Someone recombined these. Please separate them again and re-post. Sometimes I make a note "separated for merging" in the librarian note field
#326 done
#327 done
#329 had already been merged, so I NAB'ed it from the changelog.
#330 Merged and NAB'ed

#331 see #332
#333 I merged the placeholder Kindle edition into the one you linked
#334 Merged with another audio edition (it had a "narrator" listed) and recombined
#335 I merged the second link into the first link. As it is an alternate cover edition, it does not get merged with the third link.
#336-337 done
#338 Next time just start a new thread and we will edit the wrong edition. Just FYI merge means "delete" on Goodreads

#339 Virginia, this is the wrong thread. Please post in "This book is not mine." you will need to re-copy and paste your link as they do not copy from post to post. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

#340 Done, it was the second most popular
#341 Done

Emily | 17452 comments #343 Rutger, do you know why they might have credited you on this publication?
EDIT: Your name appears in the list of contributors in several other places on the internet where the book is listed. If you have questions about this, you can contact Support: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Jenny (ma_burlande) | 4 comments Please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/1... .
Kindle edition ASIN does not exist; no other data; over 5 shelvings; not separated. Thanks.

Emily | 17452 comments #344 pending I have merged with the trilogy and marked as Not a Book. Should they return just let us know. It will take a couple days for them to disappear completely.

#346 while it is no longer available, it was once available on Amazon, so it can't be merged. Someone reverted changes someone else made, restoring the data.

Bone Building Books

These are two separate books in a book series presented as two editions of the same book. They should probably be separated into:


* Title: The Moose Manual: How to Prepare and Articulate Large Hoofed Mammal Skeletons
* Author name: Lee Post
* ISBN-10: 0974713937
* ISBN-13: 978-0974713939
* Publisher: Lee Post
* Publication date: 2004
(Last revised in:) 2016
* Format: Printed Book
* Description: This is the manual you want if you are contemplating a skeleton articulation project of a moose - or cow - or horse - or caribou - or buffalo - or deer - or elk - or wildebeest - or any other large hoofed, four-legged mammal. It goes from the cleaning of the bones to the display of the finished skeleton in steps that even students can follow.​
* Page count: 93
* Link: https://www.theboneman.com/bone-build... (scroll down to volume 6)


* Title: Bone Builder's Notebook, Or More Than You Really Wanted to Know about Preparing Animal Skeletons for Articulation
* Author name: Lee Post
* ISBN-10: 0974713996
* ISBN-13: 978-0974713991
* Publisher: Lee Post
* Publication date: 2006
(Last revised in:) 2018
* Format: Printed Book
* Description: This manual is a companion reference book to any of the other bone-building manuals. Volumes 1 through 9 are step-by-step skeleton articulation guides of individual animal groups; Bone Builder's Notebook tells the rest of the story. If you work with bones or desire to work with bones, this is the answer book to questions you may have about preparing bones or skeletons for use in collections, or for display. It details how to acquire bones, the different options for cleaning, degreasing, and whitening bones, the tools and materials used for articulating skeletons, and includes sections on identifying and siding mammal bones, osteology vocabulary, and reference books. Whether you are a bone enthusiast or a museum professional, this manual has the information pertaining to bone-work that has been virtually impossible to find in print - until now.
* Page count: 149
* Link: https://www.theboneman.com/bone-build... (scroll down to volume 10)


Cheers!

Emily | 17452 comments #348 The best thing to do is to start a new thread (especially if you can't decide where to post), and be sure to read the descriptions of each folder or thread before posting in them--this request does not fit either this thread or the Adding New Books folder.
Don't worry about re-posting; I have separated the books. If you need any help with anything else, the best thing to do is make a new thread in this (the book issues) folder. :-)

Jackie North (jackie_north) | 31 comments Hello! I've already got a page for Ride the Whirlwind, which currently has 11 reviews, yeah! However a second has been added just today. Could it be removed?

Here is the edition with the reviews, that I'd like to keep:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (This should have the ASIN # of B07X7HZGM2)

Here is the edition with no reviews, recently added, which I'd like to have removed:

Thank you!

Emily | 17452 comments #354 are you selling the ebooks on platforms other than Amazon/Kindle?
EDIT: Looks like you changed the ISBNs a while back. I will merge the Kindle edition with ISBN into the Kindle edition that was just imported. In the future please do not move ISBNs from one edition to another.

Which book should it be merged with (the newer version)?


message 320: by SparksofEmber (new)

SparksofEmber | 40 comments This author reached out to me on Facebook saying "Someone...put my reader magnet novella into Goodreads (I give it away free, exclusively to my mailing list), with no cover. So it looks kind of dorky."

He'd like it deleted if possible since it's not an official book, with no isbn.

message 322: by Bryony (new)

Bryony (bryony46) | 30 comments I’ve just stumbled across an “author” (though I assume it’s actually a publisher) with numerous calendars, diaries and similar publications attributed to them. My understanding is that they are not recognised as books and so should not be on Goodreads? If that’s correct then should they be deleted? Thank you.

It could be combined with The Perfect Plan, or deleted completely. Thank you!

Emily | 17452 comments Working through here.
#352 Next time please separate the editions together for merging
#353 pending There is a librarian note that says the two covers have slight differences and are alternate cover editions
#356 done
#357/363 I have merged it; it will disappear in a day or two.
#359 deleted

#360 Since it is for subscribers only, I have deleted it. (It doesn't matter that there is no ISBN.) Should someone add it to the system again, he can just post in this group and we will delete it again.

#361 Done, note that Kindle editions with ASIN are listed as Kindle in the format instead of ebook so I have changed it

#362 There are more than a few of these "authors." There are a handful of books on here that are actual books, so I will work on this; thanks for posting

Moloch | 3975 comments truncated ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
please note that the one with the truncated ISBN has a WRONG cover (which I did not delete, since I've been told that it complicates things for superlibrarians) (ISBN is for an Italian edition, but the cover is in another language), so that's why they are apparently different

re-combine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

thanks

Auntie Terror (auntie_terror) | 16 comments Dear Super-Librarians,

I managed to get rid of one superfluous hardcover edition of Das flüssige Land and to merge the kindle edition to it.
But there's another incomplete data set I, as a regular librarian, can't delete due to number of reviews (I think):
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

[The data-complete edition to remain would be:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
As a bookseller on the German book market, I can assure you that the publisher released only one hardcover edition last month, and there is no other publisher for this.]

Thanks in advance for your help,
Auntie Terror

The correct entry is the following and should be left alone: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

fixed it
It was not a duplicate but the Paperback edition, but you were right that the missing periods after the initials were preventing it from being associated to you.
I have corrected the name of the author and then combined the 2 editions together. No deletion was needed because, like I said, they are 2 different editions and both should stay
