Or simply delete the latter (while keeping the quotes, etc, of course). Many thanks in advance...

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #112 - Combined. Looking into some more, but think they can be merged. Then merged, since they were the same edition.

R.I.B. | 3 comments RE: #110

Thanks! - but I forgot to mention the e-books:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Also, 2 other small things:

1: Is it possible to set the original hardcopy (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) as the main entry? Currently everything directs to the e-book

2: I've noticed since the last combining that none of the "Get a copy" links seem to work. Any way to fix that? Thanks again...

Sandra | 31441 comments #121 - librarians cannot change the default edition, only the author or GR staff can do that. The default edition is always the most shelved edition if the author hasn't changed it.

The get a copy links are added by each member of GR so there is no way change that. They work for me, so perhaps you should look at your own settings.

ETA: GR is trialling some different options for USA readers, not sure if that is what you are seeing.

I'm getting Canadian links, and they all send me to 404 pages or "No results found" even though a search on Amazon.ca or Indigo.ca, for example, will show the book is available. The ISBN numbers all seem right, so I'm not sure what's going on...


message 116: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31441 comments ISBN numbers will work on Amazon for pbs or hardcovers only. Kindles require ASIN numbers.

Veronica (_superv) | 8 comments These 2 books are the same

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

The one on 22671904 is actually incorrect because the ISBN is wrong, so are the rest of the info. The only thing correct is the page number and author name. 544325 is the correct one with all the info printed. So perhaps move the reviews from 22671904 over to 544325 and then delete 22671904?

#142 not combined because it is an adaptation and they aren't combined as per the Library Manual.

Understood. Thank you.


message 136: by Nyssa (new)

Nyssa | 172 comments Please combine both copies of the Christmas Megapack.

Yes, I am a librarian, but I'm not sure how to get them to show up on the same page.


message 137: by Abcdarian (new)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Done. The first authors have to be the same to combine; since WorldCat listed Robert Reginald first, I went with that.

In the future it is helpful if you include a link to the books you want combined.
