Done! :)


Elizabeth (Alaska) invalid ISBN
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

but the Amazon link takes me to the Vintage Canada edition:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

with which I think it should be merged.


Elizabeth (Alaska) no detail, to be merged with default

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Done. And for future requests-the two books that should be merged should be combined - so that the reviews and shelved books of the incorrect edition will merge with the correct one.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments #528:

Just because the books aren't written by you, doesn't mean that they should be deleted.

I've checked with WorldCat and Amazon and it states that the author is James E.T. Lange, so I've moved the book to that profile.

Those last 3 are all valid editions and therefore shouldn't be deleted. I've added a cover for the first one (was reviewed on Amazon, so still viewable via a Google search) and all three have been combined, as required.

Goodreads keeps all published editions of books. Please see here for more information.


message 517: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #530 - I added the cover to that book you moved, which also shows that name.


message 518: by Philip (new)

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #528 - One other thing.

Technically that is not your Author Profile at the moment. Anybody with your name and a book that falls under it can claim it.

If you want to claim your profile you can use the link below.

Carol Oates (caroloates) | 1 comments Can someone please delete this book?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I haven't written it and don't plan to. I'm unsure where the person who added it got the information there is a third book and it might be misleading to readers.

Thank you.

It is a duplicate book with a wrong title and no ISBN.

https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

This is only available here: http://www.sevenstorieshigh.com/one-b... as a online short story so there isn't a real cover. Not sure why there are two different ones then so I don't know what to do. :)

Re 540: The author added both editions and both covers, so it's fine to stay. (In general, online shorts vary, but if the author considers it a book, that weighs toward being fine.)

Ninja Neko | 171 comments Can a super delete/merge this one please? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... it has no isbn and the title & author were misspelled.
This one has no isbn info either so should probably also go: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


message 534: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Done. But in the future, if an author's name is misspelled, first check to see if the profiles should be merged. This one should have been. Since the correct profile is a claimed GR author's you have to put the request on this thread. I have put these profiles there for you.


message 535: by Paloma (new)

Paloma Meir Hello Librarians!

I seem to have two copies of my book Trashed showing up. Could you remove one of them. Also both of the pages have a reader who added it. Is there any way to combine them? Does this make sense? I don't have a lot of almost readers yet, and I would hate to lose one.

Thank you so much!!!


message 536: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments I combined them. Both readers will show up.

At first, I thought that I failed to do something properly (or did it for wrong edition) so to preclude a super from merging relevant edition and then combining w/ rest. Now I realise that your reply was more b/c you assumed that upon posting, I wouldn't go back confirm merge/combine and then continue w/ fixing.

Not so. But do appreciate your finishing name order fix for me.

Also appreciate (re)statement of GR policy. Going forward, I'll be sure to mirror fix for each and every applicable edition prior to posting. And I'm sure that everyone else will do the same.

Done -
Can you review the author name - is it displaying the name in to languages - if so it needs to be in just one language by the looks of it Japanese - since they do not appear to be translated in to a roman langage
