message 252: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1535 comments Can you please delete this audiobook edition?:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I added the edition but there was something wrong with the cover photo file, which I noted too late, so I re-did it with a working file. (the correct book edition is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...)

thank you!

You should post in the thread called "This book is not mine." You will need to re-copy and paste your links because they do not copy and paste from post to post.

Philip James | 1 comments I've managed to create a phantom book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) while trying to claim a real book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5....

I'm sorry about that. I don't know how I got here, but obviously what I'd like to do is claim the real book and delete the phantom.

Thanks in advance.

this a short story published in a 1939 collection. I find no evidence that it has ever been published separately.

Thanks, please combine it with the collection.

Ere (erekanezawa) | 56 comments This is unfortunately not something published as a book on its own, the book record was made after scanlations:

message 295: by Edward (new)

Edward Buckton (biblionautbuckton) | 14 comments Ooh, just spotted this - there's two editions of A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson with identical covers and page counts. One has an ISBN, the other has an ISBN13.

I just checked my copy, and both numbers are present. Think they must be the same edition. Could these be merged please?

ISBN - A Walk in the Woods

ISBN13 - A Walk in the Woods

Thanking you kindly, my dudes.

Tessa | 1 comments Hello!

A request for a merge or a deletion, as a non-librarian, of a version of 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets':
- This is the right one, as a new (Audible Audio) edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
- This is the wrong one, as a separate book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thanks for considering my request.


message 298: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8628 comments https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is a magazine short story that was not published separately. I have already combined it with the book collection in which it later appeared; please merge. Thanks.


message 299: by Suzi (new)

Suzi | 8661 comments This is a short story from "Hangman's Holiday" with no publishing information. Please delete.

message 300: by Sharif (new)

Sharif Khan (sharifkhan) | 8 comments A book I did not write is listed on my page because someone else has the same name as me. How do I get that book removed? It is called "The Sheriff of Squash: The Life and Times of Sharif Khan Legendary Squash Champion." That is not my book. Thanks!
