A super needs to look at all editions of this book - a hot mess. More merges than the above need to be done.
Can this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...please be merged with this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...?
This edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... has no info. I'm not sure if it should be merged with the
paperback: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
or
ebook: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
with the same cover?
Also can this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...be merged with this https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...?
Got 912, 913, 916, 917, 918, 919, 920, 921914 - editions updated with information
915 - basic's done but more work needs doing - will review when I have more time
Please delete this entry! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...It appears to be a duplicate of the other entry (and not a different edition), which is more complete and can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Got, 923, 924, 925, 926
Please, delete this book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It seems to be a duplicate of this one which is complete in data:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Though this book has been reprinted at least seven times, all editions have the same ISBN so I think the first one is a duplicate.
Thank you very much.
My book is listed twice, and one needs to be deleted.This is the listing that needs to be deleted:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thank you for your assistance!
Please, merge:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
I added just the one, but when I was approved as Goodreads Author, another was added.
Got 928, 930

please merge https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (new record with isbn) and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (original placeholder edition with no isbn)thanks!
Hello~A book was added to my page that is a duplicate of the two books that are correct on my page:
Book that needs to be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Books that are correct: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Someone added illustrator but there is no illustrator, only a cover artist who should not be listed as illustrator. This book is also out of print so no new versions of this should be added.
Thank you.
941 - The editions are combined, as per policy
Paula~The issue is with combining the editions is that now there are 2 editions of the same book. The Kindle edition, edited by Good Reads Librarian Philip has the correct ASIN here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/8...
In combining, instead of deleting, an incorrect book with an incorrect ASIN # has been added. No new versions can be added as there was only 1 ebook and 1 Kindle edition ever released and the book is out of print now. There should only be 2 editions of this book as there were only ever 2 released and now all versions released by that publisher are out of print. All the other versions of these out of print titles have only 2 editions.
It still needs to be deleted please.
Thank you.

There is 1 ebook and 2 kindle editions with different ASIN's. A google search shows both ASINS where once for sale and have reviews on amazon against them hence according to GR policy they stay on GR

Okay. Thank you for correcting the addition of the illustrator. Very appreciated.
Could you please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...? I originally was going to release this book as a series of novellas, but decided against that plan. This novella is not available anywhere, and I am releasing the full volume later this week. It would really help to cut down on confusion.
#948 - Both had the same cover, 1 had the ASIN in the ISBN13 field.
Please merge this:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(Missing everything but title)
Into default (Since there's nothing to identify a particular format).
Thank you!
Please delete this version of Kaima (The Namesake) and then combine it with the original English book. They are the same book and same edition. Originally the version to be deleted had a misspelling in the author's name (Lhjumpa, not Jhumpa).To be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
To be preserved and combined https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
combine with this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
Please merge this:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(ISBN10 in ISBN13 field, no cover)
Into this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
(Correctly assigned ISBNs, matching above)
And recombine with this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Thank you!
#954 - 
DUPLICATE EDITIONSThese two "editions" are the same Kindle version of the same state of the same book--one identified by its ASIN, the other by its ISBN-13. Both the ASIN and the ISBN are correct, but they should both be attached to the same edition. (I did read the instructions, tried to separate, merge, re-combine, but nothing happened when separate was attempted.)
REMOVE:
Sweating Bullets: Notes about Inventing PowerPoint
(Kindle Edition)
ASIN: B009VNGD9E
goodreads: 20432167-sweating-bullets
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
RETAIN:
Sweating Bullets: Notes about Inventing PowerPoint
(Kindle Edition)
ISBN: 098514243X (ISBN13: 9780985142438)
goodreads: 18590545-sweating-bullets
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
RESULT: This book will have 5 editions: Hardcover, web pdf, Paperback, Kindle, and ebook (ePub), with 5 sequential ISBN numbers. (Now it shows 6 editions, with two of them the same Kindle edition, one with no ISBN but only an ASIN.)
SUPPORT: Search http://www.amazon.com for "9780985142438" and then for "B009VNGD9E".
The two searches return the same unique search result, the (only-ever) Kindle publication of this book.
Please merge this:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(Missing identifiers)
and this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(Missing identifiers, cover)
into this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(Having identifiers, only edition)
Thank you!
re 956, will your ebook be available from any retailer with the kindle ISBN 9780985142438 attached?
