Katherine (athryn) | 336 comments Working on 304-330

#307/8 Deleted the empty edition (thanks for the reversions) and combined editions.

#320 - Covers are different

#321 - I remember doing 252, the covers look the same to me, just a slight shading difference. I *absolutely* remember doing 264, because I'd remember a book about a cat named Bob. Dunno why they didn't go.

#328 - Merged (and found a 1-click NAB in the process too, thanks!)

#330 - I'm not grokking what you're saying here. This ISBN shows up as valid all over the internet with only some cosmetic differences. I've updated it with the info and proper (non editorial) description from Penguin's website. Bonus, an added ebook version!

Whoops, I should have mentioned that everything else was done.

aniryllis | 225 comments I'm pretty sure this hardcover ISBN has the wrong cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3.... When checking the publisher, Quercus, the URL and the ISBN, it's this cover here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I don't think it's an ACE because of the different publishers.
Someone added the ISBN when there was no cover and then the other publisher, Flatiron Books, added their cover or deleted the original one (from the changelog it looks like a deletion, but I don't want to undo it to see what has been deleted).

I think the ISBN should be moved to the right cover and then this should be edited and merged with the second most added edition, which not surprisingly has the same identical cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (it doesn't have an ISBN because it's already an ACE).

I'm not doing anything because it's the default edition of a popular book at the moment.

Let me know if I'm totally wrong, lol.

These have different covers. We would need to find out directly from the author if one had been used or will be used for advance copies.

That's not true. A watermarked image generally could come from a site that's not acceptable for cover images, such as a bookseller. In those cases it's perfectly acceptable to remove a cover image (with a change note) and replace it with one from an acceptable source. The super-librarians know this, and that's why this thread is for them to make judgement calls or ask for clarification.

Isabella August (isabellaaugustauthor) | 5 comments Hi! I manually added a new book a day or two ago as soon as it went live. When I woke up today, it looked like some identical edition had been automatically uploaded as well. Since that one is (as far as I can tell) totally identical, and has no comments yet, would someone be kind enough to delete the copy that was uploaded on November 14th?

Emily, it's not a matter of ARCs. Flatiron = US = blue cover. Text Pub = AUS = yellow.

That's why I noted 'correct US cover'

Emily | 17466 comments We merge this thread in order. Please leave merges to superlibrarians as mentioned in the topic. Otherwise, it gets confusing, because we don't see offhand that the merge has already taken place. Thanks.

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

When I set it up, I had an error in the spelling of the Amazon title. I have now corrected this, but I can't seem to correct my goodreads entry. If you can delete, I can just start again.
Thanks

Well I lost all the comments I made in my post before I could post them. I'm nearly done. I will update this again. If yours is not done then I am still working on it in between Dracula work. ;)

Toffee, in future posts please link to the edition to combine it with.

They are both valid editions. I changed the author order on the paperback and combined with the Kindle edition. No deletion.

Megan Grooms (groomsbooks) | 3 comments I have two books that are the same title however they each have ratings/reviews I would like to merge them without losing those ratings/reviews if possible. This first one should be merged to the second one so that the second one that reads The Bladesmith (The Fayhaven Trilogy Book 1) is the only one people see. Thank you.
