I was going to merge it into book 7 since it appears there, but I can change this to 1. Can someone please confirm whether this should be merged?
It is merging into #7."


RE: above post #901, SS = 'The Alpha Alternative' should NOT be merged as it falls into accepted category = published online as a specified short story (i.e. not a "bonus"). FWIW, 'alt POV' only in that KMM's Fever series began w/ as single POV (Mac).

IMHO, fact that SS incorporated into later book should not make difference/nullify separate listing after the fact. Kinda like reverse of anth short later published separately? Also, IIRC, audio made of SS.

For convenience, orig link from post #834 = https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Apologies for late reply--holidays et al, plus GR overload & maintenance. But major plus is that SS editions still exist & can be separated out once function becomes available tomorrow (6 Jan).

Thx for your time & efforts, Emily :)

Emily | 17466 comments Karma, thanks for your explanation. Originally I thought it would fall under the policy of a short story published on the author's website. I did some research, looking at other examples, looked at 834, and asked about it for more detail on the plot from a couple of friends that have read it, just to make sure it was the same chapter and I wasn't misunderstanding the reference.

I understand what you mean with "reverse of anthology short."
The question might be if this chapter was published as a short story before the actual book #1 was published.

If it is an alternate POV of a chapter in book #1, I don't see why it wouldn't fall under the policy in the manual. I would ask that the moderator or someone else more experienced with these to make the decision.
I definitely don't want to merge it (either into book 1 or book 7) if it shouldn't be. I'll be happy to separate it back out. This is just one of those uncommon examples that I don't come across very often.

(1) Fever #1 pub'd in 2006, whereas SS in 2011.

(2) Yes, definitely an uncommon example. Been yrs so memory fuzzy & copy of SS not handy, but IIRC, actual scene not in Fever #1. As far as readers know, MCs d/n have sex until later book (which is why SS ruffled some feathers when pub'd on author's website).

But now I'm curious b/c SS listed @ 16pgs, which is bit much for single sex scene, no? ;-) So you/your friends may be right.

When home, will have to locate Fever #1 & compare actual text of Chapter against SS to see extent of difference vs. overlap!

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. .......


Jessica, I managed to correct / include most of the data you provided, having checked it on Amazon and WorldCat first.

But combining with the other editions is a feature which has been suspended for some days for site maintenance. I'll come back later and do that as well.

Edit: Done. :-)

Users are allowed to rate and review books as they wish, including before publication.

Bernard O'Keeffe | 2 comments I don't understand. It has been added to my author profile as one of my books, but it has not been published. I have no idea how someone has managed to read it as it only exists in manuscript form at present. Can I find out who added it, and can I remove it?

You can't find out who added it. Sometimes people rate books even before they read them. If you have questions about it then you have to contact Support, and they can help, as it is not something librarians have control over. https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Emily | 17466 comments UDPATE 1/7/20
I will now work from #1001 and then update THIS post. If you notice a post before #1000 that has not been addressed in this post or above, please let me know. Please do not delete your post.

938. The record with the truncated ISBN has a note from the Goodreads team that we are not to edit it, so I am leaving it alone.
939. Done
940. Went ahead and did this, next time start a new thread.
941. Done
942. Merged into the B&N edition of Cruel Prince
943-945. Done
950. Done
951-959. Done

971. Merging
972-974. Done
975. N/A
976-979. Done
980. Will recombine in a couple days due to many editions done
981. If it was ever on Amazon with this ASIN then it has to stay. I added a note in the description pointing readers to the correct edition.
982-3. Done
984-986. Done
987-8. N/A
989. This is the wrong thread for your request. Since the thread has built up I went ahead and addressed it here rather than directing you to “This book is not mine.”
The books had been moved wrongly to a different profile, so I moved it to the correct one.

990. I merged Raymond Feist into Raymond E. Feist and combined the German edition with the others. There was no other book to merge it with as the ones I saw all seemed to have unique ASINs.
Someone else may want to combine and perhaps correct the titles of a few other German books that transferred over when I merged the authors.

991. Done
992-3. N/A
994-995. Done
996. This is the wrong thread for your request. Since the thread has built up I went ahead and addressed it here rather than directing you to “This book is not mine.”
The books had been moved wrongly to a different profile, so I moved it to the correct one.

997-999. Done
1000. Combined

#1003 Someone added all of the information. I combined the book with the others. Nothing needed to be deleted (merged).

#1004 Will recombine in a couple days due to many editions Someone already did this; it says it has 4 novels so I don't know if it is combined with the right one, or if this particular one is just split into 4.
#1005 done
#1008 done
#1009 will readdress / pending review

#1021 New Yorker only - done
#1022 Poem merged with magazine in which it appears
#1023-1027 New Yorker only - done
#1028 No wonder I was confused in #1003. I combined it with the other editions
#1029 Please do not create alternate editions if a temporary cover just needs to be changed. Instead, post in the Book Cover Help folder. I have merged the editions; it could take a day for reviews to transfer.
#1030 merging done
#1031 done
#1032 Merged both blank and one with ASIN in ISBN slot
This post will go through 1049 and then I will start the next update in the next to last post of this thread.
#1033-1036 done
#1038 pending Please don't create new editions in order for the other one to be merged. Instead, we can edit the existing edition. Since you just added a better cover from your own file as the author and the other part of the ISBN I merged them.
#1042-1046 done
#1048-1049 done
Anything not done from this page is now being addressed

Sammm | 88 comments Hi there! This is about the French revised Fantastic Beasts companion book published back in 2017 in paperback. Two sets, because the matching cover colorization and page numbering just so happens to have exactly two data? Treated the other set as ACE unless other Librarians determined otherwise.

1.
Temporary work id# 75281575

2.
Temporary work id# 73286140

For the second one, it'd look like a regular librarian such as myself can do the merge without asking for help, however, after comparison, I feel that the image used for the edition that has only 1 add, is actually of higher quality, it's also created slightly earlier, so am wondering if Super Librarians here can merge Les animaux fantastiques Vie & habitat by Newt Scamander to Les Animaux fantastiques vie & habitat by Newt Scamander instead of the other way around, thanks.
