مـريم (mariem_hh) | 5 comments Thank you for your help, and for merging the duplicated copy of the book. I just noticed that the book cover is not appearing in a good quality, so below is the book cover link, if you can please update it. Many thanks!

Elizabeth (Alaska) The default has no ISBN, and appears to be the same as this edition (we know my track record for recognizing cover differences).

thank you!

Lu | 601 comments This book has 'two editions'

Odin's Honor
This one has the format, ASIN and everything.

Odin's Honor: A BWWM Paranormal Holiday Romance
This one doesn't have any information about format, no ISBN/ASIN, no publisher.

The Amazon page can only find the Kindle, so I believe they're duplicates.

Lu | 601 comments Doctor Who The Price Of Paradise
Doctor Who: The Price of Paradise
Same publishing date, same publisher, same format. The only difference is the ISBN but the second's ISBN seems to be invalid, neither Amazon or Worldcat found anything and the Library of Congress page about ISBNs says it is invalid.

All 3 are valid. Just because they are no longer available does not make them invalid.

All three ISBNs can be found at https://www.bookdepository.com/

Whether they can be found elsewhere online doesn't really matter much. The ISBNs pass the check for validity, and there is every indication they were in print at least briefly. Therefore, even if they could no longer be found anywhere else online, they would stay.

The original post doesn't have an ISBN, so if you search with ISBN, it doesn't show up.

ISBN is: 9788252199147

Hi Emily, there's two Kindle editions for this now, there should be only one hardcover : ISBN-10 2413013369/ ISBN-13 978-2413013365 and one Kindle? There's a different ASIN for each Amazon (Canada, Italy, Deutschland, US....) when it's in fact the same file (the comic book, 264 pages in French).


message 816: by Emily (new)

Emily | 17467 comments #955 Different ASINs are considered different editions.


message 818: by Mikko (new)

Mikko (malkuth) | 1 comments The two editions of this book should be merged: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I would do it, but I'm not a super-librarian.


message 820: by Emily (last edited Jan 07, 2020 11:51AM) (new)

Emily | 17467 comments UPDATE - see #1050 for future updates.

There is maintenance going on through the 6th that has required the disabling of the combine function, so some things will take extra time. Merging is also disabled.
Will go as far as I can and will update this post later today. There are a couple of outstanding ones above my previous message that I will come back to at the end.

#946 In the Doctor's case, the person who added one of the ISBNs was one number off, so I am merging it into the one with the correct ISBN. Too bad there is no sonic screwdriver to fix things automatically.

#950 Since the only information was the title, and no one had added it as To Read, I have deleted it.

Marcos Kopschitz | 122 comments Please merge the two books below - already separated. I'll recombine later.

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

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

They are the same book, I own one copy of the paperback edition with the ISBN-10 and the ISBN-13 on it.
They belong to a large collection by this publisher which must be over 90 titles by now - all of them in paperback only.
Furthermore, no mention to any hardcover edition at all in publisher's site, Amazon and WorldCat.

Thank you.

And Happy New Year! :-)


message 822: by India (new)

India Powers | 1 comments Please delete the 2 extra editions for my book Demon's Bane (by India Powers). They've already been combined, but the valid edition is the Kindle version that was published on Dec. 30. 2019. The other 2 listings from 2016 have never been published.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...

They've already been combined, and I can't separate them in order to do a merge and delete.

Thank you for your help.

There is no ebook version with this ASIN.

The correct one is:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


Elizabeth (Alaska) default has truncated ISBN, otherwise I think all details OK, and is the same as this edition

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

thank you - and may your 2020 be filled with good reads!

This isn't even a book that's published. It's a draft of a manuscript. I don't know how it ended up on Goodreads. Can this be deleted?

It is (or was) available on Fanfiction.net. Goodreads considers that a published work.

It was a published book available on Amazon, but is no longer available. Goodreads does not remove items that are out of print.

Thanks Sandra... I'm new to this rodeo, so I wasn't sure what'n the heck was going on ;)


message 846: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (jessygt) | 16 comments Hi,

This book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... was added as a separate book, but it's a translation for this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8.... Could you please merge them?

There's also a lot of missing info for the translation. Cover, format and description are correct. Not sure if this is the right place, but I'll gather everything else here just in case.

Authors: Kris Wilson, Rob DenBleyker, Matt Melvin, Dave McElfatrick
Translator: Érico Assis
Publisher: LeYa
Published in February 2015
176 pages
Portuguese

Thank you! :)

message 849: by Rex (new)

Rex Bromfield | 6 comments I am the author of the novel Visitor: When Science Collides With Belief (B07ZDJQYY8). It is a recent release on Amazon. I wanted to include it on Goodreads, but when I found a page under my name, there were already 14 titles showing that should not be showing there at all. They are decades old short stories that I never personally posted on Goodreads. Someone else did. They are not available anywhere. They were originally free on Smashwords years ago during a campaign to supply books and stories for the troops in Afghanistan.
I would like to have them not appear on the Goodreads public listing - I understand you cannot delete titles from the archive but my only option is to have this Goodreads page deleted altogether.
The only title that should be showing as available is my novel Visitor (B07ZDJQYY8) published recently on Amazon (August 2019)
Please make these titles invisible or cancel my page on Goodreads.
Here is a list of the titles under my name that are not available and should not appear to the public:

Fat Pat
David AND Goliath
At Large
Interloper part 1
Interloper part II
Interloper Part III
What Happens When You Die
Fred and Me
Nora-9
Paid in Plates
Phony Collateral
The Great Song
How I got Fat - How I got Back
Certain Realities

Emily | 17467 comments #1007 Rex, Goodreads does not remove valid data. There is no way to separate the author profiles of the novel from the stories. (They were imported by Smashwords and Amazon automatically.)
