with the following edition:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
is a true duplicate of this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
and should be deleted, while the second should remain.
Thank you!

#263 Leaving for someone else - I haven't done merges for some time; is it acceptable now to merge a subscription work to a completely different work?
#264 request unrelated to the thread subject; please next time post in 'Book Issues' - done
#268 done
#269 done
#270 I think this has been done by someone
#271 done
#272 done
#274 done and set the first author listed on the cover as primary
#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.

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.

Thank you.

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.

#329 this is similar to 'Choose Your Own Adventure' novels, which I've seen a lot on Goodreads, so I guess it's allowed regardless of if they call it a game or a novel

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

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.

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,

Please delete this - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... (it is the dublicate of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...).
Thank you in advance!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
into this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
(ISBN13 in ISBN10 field)
Please merge this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (ISBN13 in ISBN10 field)
and this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (no details)
into this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... (this one has the fewest adds but has cover & ISBN in right place)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
It will be authomatically merged into the original work, so doesn't need to be separated

#378 no idea what this is - the topic you linked does not exist anymore; if it's only available as a youtube reading surely it should not be listed separately. Would this be a merge target? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
