message 154: by Joe (new)

Joe Mahoney (ilanderz) | 13 comments Hi... somehow I seem to have created an extra version of my book Other Times and Places under a non-existent ISBN 9780359868. I wonder if someone would be so kind as to remove this version. It's the one with no cover associated with it. Many thanks!

message 167: by Kim (new)

Kim (celticoracle) | 7 comments Not sure what to do with this issue - there are a number of entries for the Devil’s Panties series attributed to Lauren Perry, rather than Jennie Breeden. I’ve done a fair bit of research and there seems to be no similar works attributed to Lauren Perry anywhere but on goodreads. The Lauren Perry titles have ISBNs that don’t match the Breeden books, and the publisher listed is the one that used to publish single issues of the DP comic (she now self-publishes).

However, some of the Perry-credited titles do have reviews that shouldn’t be lost. What’s the best way to deal with these?

message 171: by Elias (new)

Elias Rosner (iasmael) | 20 comments Separated out because the ebook version is not the default. Please delete the two without ISBNs

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

and then recombine with original entry. (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...)

Thanks!

Emily | 17559 comments UPDATE 1/23/20 Everything through this post is done or I am still addressing it and it is pending.
If something on this post has not finished merging or was skipped, please let me know.

118. See #122
119-121. Done
123. Done, I added the Kindle edition
124-125. Done
126. They are ACEs but not of each other
127. Done
128. They are ACEs of different editions
129-131. Done

While superlibrarians are careful to do this accurately, the first post in the thread explains that you should separate the two editions and combine them together for merging first. It goes much faster that way. I’ve done this one.

140-141. Yuko, since this thread is long I went ahead and moved that book instead of redirecting. Next time post in the thread called “This book is not mine.”
For your other books, if you would just start a new thread in this folder. List the books whose covers you illustrated and someone will remove your name.

ETA: I see you have talked with someone else later in the thread
143. Someone has done this
144-146. Done
147-149. Done
150. The color in the default edition is too different a shade from the others for me to merge it.
151-153. Done
154. The cover on the edition without the ISBN has more red in it than the other one. I have made a note that says it is an ACE of the default edition.

155-6. Done
157. This edition did not have text on the bottom like the hardcover edition does. It did have the same cover as the Kindle edition, so I merged it into that one. Then I created an alternate cover edition for the Kindle version, because the cover has since been updated on Amazon for it.

161-166. Done

167-170. Done
172. Someone recombined it and changed the empty hardcover edition to Kindle. I am leaving it as is in this case.
173-174. Done
175. Done due to the length of this thread, but next time please post in the thread called “This book is not mine.” Note that the librarian note field does not alert librarians.

176. Done
177-178. Done
179. Still merging. I will add the authors later if they don’t transfer
180-181. Done
182. Done
183. Done due to the length of this thread, but next time please post in the thread called “This book is not mine.”
184-185. Done
186-187. Done
188. Done
189-190. Done
191. Done due to the length of this thread, but next time please post in the thread called “This book is not mine.” In the future, please post links to the books you need moved.
192. Done
193. These are both valid; they have different ASINs.
194. I marked these as alternate cover editions. One of them has larger text and the floating objects are in different places.
195. Done
196. Done
197. Pending
198-200. Done
201. Done
202. Merged into novel in which it subsequently appeared
203-204. Merged into anthologies in which they appear
205. Done
206-207. Done
208. Merged with anthology in which it appears
209. Done
210-211. Done
214. Merged with the anthology
215. Went ahead and did this. Next time combine the editions together for merging

217. Even though the ASIN was in the wrong place, we do not change it to an ebook edition in this case. I moved the ASIN to the right field.
“Letterer” is not a role that we include in the author field.

218. I’m not sure why a new edition was created and the ISBN moved. The cover just appears clearer in one of the editions.
219. I’m not sure why a new edition was created. Are these different?
223. Done

Jayson (jaysongo) | 64 comments Please delete: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

This book does not exist. It was only solicited for publication before being cancelled (see Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/140...). The Amazon listing says it collects Detective Comics issues #994-999, 1001-1006. It was eventually split into two books.

Issues #994-999 were collected as "Volume 1" here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Issues #1001-1006 were collected as "Volume 2" here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The Goodreads description only lists the former because it uses the default description from the correct Volume 1, the Amazon listing shows its proposed and intended issue composition.

message 185: by Ash (new)

Ash (shipsaint) | 2 comments This title and author are both misspelled:

I'm not certain it corresponds to a particular edition, but this is the correct work - is it possible to merge these?

Well, actually, this may be the right thread? (or maybe not.) I am added as one of the authors, but I only made covers, and I am not an author. Books needs to stay, but my name need to be deleted. Thank you.

If books need to stay, then definitely wrong thread.

Checked 1 book & you're listed as illustrator (which is correct & in line w/ GR policy). IDK current GR policy re: removing entry, so suggest that you start new thread here:
