message 201: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #201 - Combined with the other editions, it is not the same edition, it is an ebook edition and the other was a paperback.

Renske | 12222 comments 200 Spam should be flagged/reported to the staff, it is not a librarian issue.


message 203: by Fran (new)

Fran (narflet) | 129 comments This book is the US kindle edition and has the correct cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

This has the ASIN of the UK kindle edition, but with the US cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

This has the cover that the UK kindle edition used to use (has since changed, but that's of no consequence) but no ASIN: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Would moving the UK ASIN to the correct edition and then requesting the two with matching covers be the correct course of action here?

Dee (deinonychus) | 16 comments Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse appears 3 times (once with a misformed ISBN, once with an ISBN-10, and once with an ISBN-13)

I have moved both correct ISBN numbers into the most popular edition, but the other two editions should now be deleted:
Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse
Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse

Have checked the page numbers with the British Library, and the publication date on the publishers website, and 219p and 12 September are correct.

Maarit | 450 comments This book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is excatly the same edition as this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (default edition) so they need to be merged.

The only difference between the two editions is the fact that default edition has only ISBN-10 showing while the duplicate has only ISBN-13 showing and they match with each other (I have the physical copy of the book on my hands, so I can see it from there).

Renette (babalela01) | 61 comments This books' isbn is its BN ID. The BN Page says sold by smashwords and the other edition is the smashwords edition, so I think its a duplicate.

No, we keep separate editions for each ISBN/ASIN/BNID.

message 224: by Ash (new)

Ash Hell | 3 comments These two have no publication datas and their cover is actually the first page of the book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

I think they should be merged into the original edition which is the most popular too as soon as their is no English translation of this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


message 225: by Z-squared (new)

Z-squared | 8575 comments re 225, the second edition you linked to has an ISBN and thus is valid. no merge (or did you do a merge already, and the link has been redirected?).

not sure about the first edition you linked to. you say it's the first page of the book -- the first page of which book? the most popular edition?

message 227: by Rinou (new)

Rinou | 101 comments The Buried This Kindle edition's ASIN doesn't link to the ebook on Amazon but to a musician's page. As the Kindle edition with the good ASIn exists, I think this one should be deleted.


message 228: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #229 - Not sure if somebody already did this, but both kindle editions I see for this book, go to valid Amazon pages for this book.


message 229: by Rinou (last edited Nov 21, 2014 11:26AM) (new)

Rinou | 101 comments I didn't explain correctly. On this edition The Buried
the ASIN is B00I829QC0, and when you enter it in Amazon it goes to this page


message 230: by Teodora (new)

Teodora Kostova (teodora_kostova) | 15 comments Can some please delete this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It's a duplicate entry for this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you xx


message 231: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #231 - Not sure why when you enter it in the search bar it shows the musician, but it is a valid ASIN for the book.

If you click the Get a copy button on the book page for amazon it goes directly to the book. It will stay here not deleted since it is valid ASIN.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #235 - Got it. Done.

Helps if you separate out the editions that need merged.

message 240: by Monica (new)

Monica P | 24 comments The description of this book contains a link to the author's twitter account stating that this book does not/will not exist: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 245: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 239 Such things can be edited, so there is no need to delete the book. If you need help, start a new thread.

240/241 Those two editions have different covers and should both stay.

message 246: by Apple (new)

Apple | 5 comments 247 https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... but it doesnt say switch editions, how can you make it so that it does?


message 247: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12222 comments 248 You have already added both editions to your shelves, therefore you can't switch.


message 248: by Apple (new)

Apple | 5 comments 249 oh then is it that i delete on from my shelf? So that its possible to switch?


message 249: by Ash (new)

Ash Hell | 3 comments 227 Yes I tried to merge it, maybe that's why the second link now redirects to a good edition.
I saw on wikipedia and oher websites that the Japanese edition of may 2006 was the first one. And about the picture I'm sure it's the first page but I can't tell precisely which edition it comes from (not the French one though).
