Please delete this book! (pt. 29) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]

and
Three Men in a Boat xx
are duplicates, one having the ISBN-10, the other ISBN-13
(xx in titles needs to be deleted)

I just posted a corrected entry for this book. My first attempt (linked above) had the author and adaptor mixed up.

The first link is the regular formatted one, the second is the other one.

7 Those are valid editions, that needed to be combined with the other editions. And I edited the titles.

Then, low and behold, I found it. Please delete my entry and leave the following entry.

I will mention that I couldn't find the book under the title Cut and Run. I had to search Phoenix Code.
Thank you!

Easy way to search if it does not show up right away is by either the ASIN or ISBN.

There is a cache delay on the search, sometimes the search for title doesn't work right away. Also, Cut and Run is a popular title. Sometimes partial title and author's last name works better.

Please merge to: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Thanks!


If so can https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... please be merged

19 Regular librarians can't do certain edits when a book is added more than a certain times, to prevent too large mistakes. Superlibrarians can do things beyond those numbers. (although we can't do everything, some things are limited to the Goodreads staff.)
20 Yes, merges are what we do most of the time in this thread. Done.

I have mentioned this before here but the books are still there.

Skyla, can you provide a link to something from the author that says book 3 is the last in the series? Like a blog post or something? Thanks!

Found the complete ISBN and the publisher's page to confirm. Deleted truncated ISBN13 and added details to book record.

Also Scribner publishing is a part of Simon & Schuster.

I accidentally entered my story First Death twice! Can you delete the edition without the ASIN and cover?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thank you!

I'm not pretty sure if it's better to merge it with one of these other french editions, or to just delete it, as it's not complete in its details at all.

Thank you all for the good work and help! ;)

Librarian myself but too green yet and wishing to avoid mistakes (I just fix what I know how to so far). So:
This edition (spanish)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... should be merged with default edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
Tried to do it myself but wasn´t sure about the exact procedure. Could you share the link with the detailed steps for me to check and learn? rgds.
