I have two books listed on my author page. The first one (without a book cover photo) was the working title. The second one (with the book cover showing) is the published book with final title. Is there a way to remove the first one, or merge them so that only the second one with the photo shows?

Just wondering if #2/23 is still being looked at. I'm not sure whether the matter's been settled or whether you're still soliciting superlibrarian opinion about.

They look like the same covers to me, just one was downloaded without removing the small black frame first. Although they both have different page numbers.
That ASIN should really have https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XISI4A this cover edition as the latest cover.

In that case, I agree with Renske (message #18), that in the absence of a preexisting ASIN or a specific ASIN edition that it's been listed as an alternate cover for, that the ASIN from B004XISI4A should be moved over and that entry be merged.
Alternatively, as Leila pointed out, you could update the cover for B004XISI4A and list the default entry as its alternate cover. I don't know whether that's in accordance with librarian guidelines, but I think that'd be fine too.
Author name spelled incorrectly:I just manually added Falling from the Moon by Karin E. Zirk. Then I realized I had spelled her name with an E: Karen.
This is especially embarrassing as the author is a RL friend of mine. Please help me change this! Karin is correct. Karen is not correct.
The book doesn't show up when I try to add the link here, but it did get added to my books.

Romance authors, actually many authors, almost always add a cover to their freebies to attract readers, but I can see why you'd wonder. I should have mentioned that the author confirmed that this short story will never be published besides in the anthology--sorry about that!
Here's the link again. Please delete:

Hi, I'm Lisa McIntyre, author of 'Transfixed'. You deleted the book that you wrongly attributed to me by Lisa J McIntyre (thanx). But you are still showing a personal review rating that includes Lisa J McIntyre's book on my personal profile. Can you amend please.

Carol, please post in the thread called "This book is not mine." You do not have an author profile. Someone can move your book to a new one for you to claim.
You will need to recopy and paste your links as they do not copy from post to post. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Please delete this version of the book; the date is incorrect and it's a duplicate, unneeded edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
This looks like they should be merged but different dateshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
possibly ACE was created wrongly?
Please mergehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
with
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
looks like duplicate ACE at different dates.
Please merge these 2 books into 1 - they are exactly the same book but listed twice: it's a Ukrainian translation of Frank Herbert's Dune.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Both books have 100+ reviews so only a super-librarian would be able to merge them into one so that their reviews get merged into the right Ukrainian edition.
Also, please make sure the reviews get merged into the same book (and not just the most "popular" edition of this book, since all the review for this book are in Ukrainian and it would be a shame to lose them.
Please mergehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (used ISBN10 as ASIN #)
