#275 The description on author blog says 'Free for a limited time only' and free download is no longer available; are you sure there are no plans for the book to be published? It would be a shame to loose all these reviews.

Olivia--re: #275, I checked with one of the authors and it's just a temporary freebie reader magnet. It's not going to be published. Some in this group of authors have done this type of anthology in the past as well.

Robin Hatcher (robinleehatcher) | 21 comments I need help from a superlibrarian. I have been trying to help fix an issue with Colors of Truth by Tamera Alexander. It was scheduled to be published by Thomas Nelson, but rights were returned to the author and she published under her own imprint, Fountain Creek Press. I got rid of all of the Thomas Nelson versions, but someone added them back in. There is a Kindle version that has the wrong ASIN also that I'm not allowed to delete. The Thomas Nelson audios with Brilliance Audio also need deleted as the audiobook is being released via Fountain Creek. Can a super librarian contact me so that these ISBN and ASIN versions from Thomas Nelson that were never released can be deleted and the reviews all assigned to the Fountain Creek Press versions which have been released? Thanks.

Deleting the editions with ISBN as well as just deleting the ISBN from the records has only caused them to re-import automatically. Since so much has been changed I suggest you contact Support so you can explain in detail what is going on. It could take a few days to weeks for us to get this far in this thread.

Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments #304 I'm not sure of how to proceed here.
I am aware that books only available via subscription are not considered a valid book record. However, the manual also states that Goodreads considers the following to be valid book records: advanced reader copies (ARCs)
One of the reviews states clearly that it's for an ARC.

Yes, but if it's only available via a subscription site, we would not allow.

They are not. They are not stand-alone books; they are part of apps.

Sarah Remy (sarahremy) | 16 comments Hello! Earlier I asked for this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

With this ISBN: 9780578782812

To be added to my pen name:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

We got part way there. A different version was added. Pretty sure my computer saved before I finished entering info. Sorry. So:

This version is an incorrect ghost version (my bad?) and can be deleted:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

The one further above with an ISBN is the real version, which would love to be attached to my pen name.

Thanks again, so very much.

Sarah

Antonomasia | 514 comments Thanks very much for catching up with all these, Olivia!

I was waiting to ask about this one until the more straightforward merge had been done on this same work.

I think this (default)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
should be merged into this (for the librarian note re ASINs, cover and other details)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

That default started out with the UK Kindle ASIN but someone added a Spanish cover to it in 2012.
The second one listed is the older UK Kindle cover (i.e. not the current one) that is also the same design as the hardcover from when the book was first published here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The ASIN is now on the most recent UK cover design.

Sarah,
please create a new request in the 'Book Issues' folder. It does not require a superlibrarian,

It will be authomatically merged into the original work, so doesn't need to be separated
