I see absolutely no reason why someone would add the same empty edition 7 times over, but since so many people have rated these, maybe one of them should be kept* and not merged into one of the three Czech editions with more info (the most popular being https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... in case you disagree).

*Because of the book's checkered origins, see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/614...)

After merging, please recombine with https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...

Thanks!


See Arenda's comment 395. I flagged one of the edits and referred to the others.

Please check the changelog before merging any of these editions, as there has been removal of valid data and titles changed.

*headdesk*

Thanks, Arenda. I was wondering why a Persian librarian would add all those Czech editions, but didn't think to check the changelog.

Slight change of plan: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Please merge all editions into the one with the cover and translator.

There is one coverless edition with a description, but it doesn't seem to be of the book itself, perhaps Kundera talking about the book? I would not save it.

There is a Persian edition with a similar (but not the same) cover already combined with the main work: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Its description may be used:

بار هستی اثر میلان کوندرا، نویسنده‌ی چک، تفکر و کاوش درباره‌ی زندگی انسان و فاجعه‌ی تنهایی او در جهان است...
چگونه بار هستی را به دوش می‌کشیم؟ آیا «سنگینی» بار هول‌انگیز و «سبکی» آن دلپذیر است؟
برداشت فلسفی و زبان نافذ کتاب، از همان آغاز خواننده را با مسائل بنیادی هستی بشر روبه‌رو می‌کند و به تفرک وا می‌دارد... اگرچه شخصیت‌های کتاب واقعی نیستند، از انسان‌های واقعی، بهتر درک و احساس می‌شوند.

And please recombine, thanks :)

lethe | 16359 comments If you agree that this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

is the same edition as this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
please let me know so I can separate them to be merged.

This is available on Wattpad and it is completed, so we should not delete it.

Jack Clark | 2 comments Hello Librarians,
I recently asked for books now written by me to be removed from my authors page which had been done. Thank you.
Unfortunately, in the process part of the titles of my books were deleted also.
My books are:
Tears of Abraham: Genesis
Tears of Abraham: Revelations and
Tears of Abraham: Apocalypse,
Could you please re-instate?

Thanks you,

Jack Clark

Emily | 17452 comments #409 In the future just start a new thread, as this one is for deleting books from Goodreads. The series title is not the primary title. https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
If you have more questions you'll need to contact Support.

This image is not book cover, maybe a poster.
It looks like DVD https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B06XDPFCTW
No mater, The book cover never looks like that.
This book only published one time in paperback.

All of these are duplicate.

It's easier to edit that than delete the book. You can, or you can tell us the correct ISBNs and we can do it for you.

I see there are now three editions. Do you have ebook or Kindle info that can be added to the empty ones?

message 392: by V.C. (new)

V.C. Myers (vcmyers) | 6 comments Please delete this duplicate edition of my book, the ISBN is wrong:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...

Also...
This is the correct, default edition with the correct ISBN that will be released on Sept. 24th:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...

The old placeholder edition has the wrong cover (never used for any edition or ARC):
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47...

I previously requested the placeholder cover be deleted, but it never was, which is why the new, correct edition was created.

The problem is some advanced reviews & ratings were mistakenly put on the placeholder edition by other users instead of the correct, default one, even though none of them received the edition with the wrong cover.

Is there a way to move the ratings & reviews from the placeholder (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47...) to the correct edition (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...), then delete the placeholder (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47...)?

If not, please combine them so the correct cover & details from the default edition are used with the ratings & reviews from the other. Thanks!

message 394: by Abrams Books (new)

Abrams Books (abramsbooks) | 49 comments Hello! There is a duplicate edition of our book called Letters from Hollywood, one of them with an old subtitle. Could you combine the editions?

This is the one that should stay: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

And this is the outdated one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

You can contact me at mvanlangen@abramsbooks.com with any questions. Thanks!

Please delete this duplicate.

I apparently have two copies of this book but only one has a review. Can you delete all copies of Perfect Soul and leave only the one with a review.
