Amiya (amiya10) | 7 comments Hi,

I think these books may need to be merged together. Can someone please check and merge if required?

Most popular link:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
(The summary should say 'Three Men and a Maid', the serialised format of 'The Girl on the Boat')

Other links:

#668 Working on done
#669 I will combine the ones that aren't already. For future reference if the book has a valid ISBN, it doesn't need to be deleted/merged.

We do not delete valid books as we have mentioned. Instead we make alternate cover editions that you can then make the default after claiming your author profile. Please post in your other thread (linked in message 664) if you have more questions, need help making the new editions, or wish for your middle initial to be added to your author name.

(#686) Those are both valid editions. I have linked them together.

No, this is for deleting books. Please post about quotes under "Issues with quotes":

Unfortunately, the title I wanted to keep is gone, but I guess that's all she wrote on that. Did you put the same review twice, because now it says two reviews when someone posted it on the wrong one and then reposted it on the correct one?

There is no wrong or right edition and both are still there:

https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Reviews are shared when editions are linked together, so if someone has reviewed both editions they will both appear.


message 571: by J.D. (new)

J.D. Sanderson (ascifiwriter) | 4 comments I apologize - I didn't mean title as in Kindle or Paperback, I meant the actual full title of the book - The Clock's Knell: The Sequel to A Footstep Echo.

Sorry for the confusion.


message 572: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8540 comments The titles are correctly formatted according to GR policy.

message 585: by Orangesinwater (new)

Orangesinwater | 14 comments Please delete this book!!! I meant to make this a new edition because I didn't see an advanced readers copy with the same number of pages as the book I have but it made a whole new book instead of an edition and now it says the author wrote two books with the same name.

book link:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

author link:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

(I have gone through this process before - adding a new edition (usually an advanced readers copy since I work at a bookstore and we get a lot of early copies) - but this is the first time that instead of adding the information as a new edition to the same book, it created a whole new book as a separate post altogether.!

This was an ebook with a valid ISBN. Goodreads does not delete valid books. You can add a note in the description stating that the book is no longer available. Please see these two pages:

Please do not ask for any more valid books to be deleted. If you follow up with your other thread someone can combine or edit the book records as appropriate.

Katie (hikatie) | 1 comments I think this should be deleted: https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/2...

It looks like it's only a link to a magazine article online?


message 598: by Antonomasia (new)

Antonomasia | 514 comments Please merge into most popular edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 599: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8540 comments I don't think any of these are valid books:

https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

The first has the cover of a magazine listing other authors.

The third has the cover of the Complete Works.

The second is a Spanish version I'm not sure about.

None have ISBN or ASIN.

The could be merged into The Dream Cycle of H.P. Lovecraft: Dreams of Terror and Death, which contains this story.


message 600: by Elizabeth (Alaska) (last edited Dec 11, 2019 02:04PM) (new)

Elizabeth (Alaska) I believe the default is a duplicate. It has the same info as the 2nd most popular edition, but has no ISBN. If, however, it should be an ACE of that edition, then information needs to be added. (I don't see a difference in covers, but we all know I'm not good at seeing subtle differences.)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (default)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (has ISBN)
