All three are the same book (kinda annoying though that people can't do this properly)

Deanna F. | 2 comments My 2nd book is not under my name because I did not use my middle initial on the 2nd book. It won't allow me to merge profiles. Please fix!

Deanna F. | 2 comments Here is the link to the 2nd book i want to claim. I also need to add the cover art and get rid of the illustrator name as it is from an old edition and his art is not included anymore.

Utopian | 224 comments re:15- Acttually it's not. The Turkish edition contains two different works from two different authors while the other one contains only one of them.

19 merged - Goodreads policy is that editors should only be added in the author field for records like anthologies and reference materials. Novels and other works of fiction should not have editors listed there. I added a reference to the editors in the description field.

Irm | 23 comments This is the same book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... but in the second one the author's name is written in Cyrillic alphabet so I can't combine it by myself. Could anyone fix it?

It's exactly the same edition as this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

...or merge them. The first one only has 23 ratings

and

** please check if the ASIN is entered correctly.
I tried to search using "B00P86K12I" and this book didn't come up until I manually entered title/author.
That ASIN is the existing Kindle designation:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P86K12I/?...

thx

Ellie Stevenson | 1 comments I've been reading about the value of combining two editions eg paperback and ebook - but have been unable to do this. Says must choose at least 2 - does this mean my book is combined already? If not, could you combine please. Thanks

Yes it has already been combined. You can see it on the book details page under "other editions".

Bea #37 completed. I did research the unknown ASIN B00CGOSOHY and found that it once existed on Amazon but is no longer available. The current Kindle version on Amazon has an ASIN B00P86K12I and is published through Amazon Digital.

Of the books I combined, one has the no longer available ASIN and another Kindle edition has no ASIN but it has a different publisher.

Esther | 18 comments Hi there

I wanted to combine some books but I saw some warning signs that told me I should not mess with this myself..

1) this notice was added at the bottom of the page "note: This author already has many combined works and thus we don't recommend using combine editions function unless you really know this author and know what you're doing"
2)the author names...Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis, some people have added them like so: "Kaaberbøl & Friis" - I think because their names are on the cover this way

It is about "The boy in the suitcase"/Drengen i kufferten
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

and these books are Dutch editions of it:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you for your help!

Arenda | 26461 comments Working on 47 done.
The authors should be separate.

Update: fixed the authors.
There were 3 ebooks, one with isbn-10, one with isbn-13, and one without isbn. Merged these to one ebook-edition.
The ebook had a cover from a bookseller (bol.com), which is not allowed. Replaced that cover with the same cover from library website.

1) this notice was added at the bottom of the page "note: This author already has many combined works and thus we don't recommend using combine editions function unless you really know this author and know what you're doing"
This is a general notice when an author has many combined works. In this case the Dutch translations should indeed be combined with the other editions.
All editions should have the same primary author to combine them.
