Saku (zackyist) | 1 comments Hey!

I tried searching for an anthology book by ISBN and name but the search turned up nothing so I created a new entry for the book. After finishing it I also noticed the publisher had a paperback edition which I thought I would also add to the entry - only the ISBN was already taken and I found that the book was in the Goodreads database after all.

I couldn't find it by searching because it didn't have the ebook edition I searched for and the name had a different apostrophe (' vs ’) than the one I used. :(

So if you could combine this new creation of mine:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

with the old entry by adding it as an ebook edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks!

The 2 editions are different. One did have a truncated ISBN13 in the ISBN10 field, so I removed that, but one edition was listed as Hardcover and the one without a format linked to the Paperback. Also, the covers were slightly different. Fixed a few things, but left both editions.

Cindy | 30 comments Not sure of these should be merged. (the first 2 should be though)I checked on WorldCat and Harper Collins did not have a 1995 edition, they did however have a 1993 edition

#118 - Working on Nothing to do. Those are all different covers, so they would not be merged, and they were already combined. Also, just because WorldCat does not show that there was a 1993 edition by Harper it does not mean there is not one.

Thanks Phillip, I was just looking at the shortened ISBN. I will check better next time

Cindy | 30 comments Even though the cover is a slightly different color, I believe these are the same edition

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #121 - Working on Done
1st book was really messed up, so I reverted a bunch of changes, found it was the same edition, and merged it. In the process found it was an alternate cover edition of this edition: The Book of Lost Tales, Part One. There is a chance they are the same cover, but with the significant color difference, I left both.

Cindy | 30 comments Please check on, I think they are the same book (the first one has a note that it is an ACE but I'm not sure it really is. Don't ACE usually share ISBN)

The ACE note was accidentally made part of the default description, so it's not relevant.


message 125: by Lara Amber (new)

Lara Amber (laraamber) | 6 comments I think this one is fake:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


Notice that it lists a publishing date of 2030 and when I did a search for the ISBN it doesn't show up anywhere as an item for purchase. So if it exists, I believe it's an illegal ebook.


message 126: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Publication dates of 2030 are frequently used by several of our import sources to indicate indefinite future publication date.

message 134: by Liralen (new)

Liralen | 8224 comments I believe this should be deleted -- not a duplicate, but it doesn't appear to be a book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

Actually, a lot of the listings for the editor seem to be magazines as well: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

(Am I mistaken here, or ought those magazines be deleted?)

Thanks!

The one to keep is the one with more data (including ASIN), the only data on the one to delete are "Kindle edition", "Published December 13th 2014" and description.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #147 - Just because a book is no-longer being published does not mean it gets removed from GR. All published books stay on the site, so that people can shelve the books they own.

How to add a new book
Add a New Book

If the ASIN or ISBN has already been used by another book you create the record without that information and reference it in the description field.

ISBN was moved off to the other edition, that should never be done. The edition with the ISBN should be fixed.
