I was looking at your books. There are 2 books with the title: The Carpenter listed as Kindle editions.
One has an ISBN, which is not used for Kindle editions on Goodreads. Is this actually a Kindle edition, or a paperback or an ebook available on another platform?
Frankly, I'm VERY frustrated with Goodreads. Most of my books are a mess with extra editions I swear I didn't create. (I know I messed up with the Mechanic.) I always check my books after I create a new one, and never see a second one...only to see sometimes as long as weeks or months later, a second edition.Can you combine the 2 Carpenter records, for starters?

I combined the Carpenter book, but did not want to delete it until I made sure that the ISBN is not used elsewhere. If you have a few minutes and can answer my questions, I think I can help you.
What makes the second editions is that you are adding ISBNs and Goodreads only uses ASINs for Kindle editions.

Hi again, The Carpenter is an ebook only on its own, but not a paperback. Does this answer your question?
I just want to be sure none of my reviews get deleted.

I need to know if it - or any other of your editions - are available as ebooks on other platforms.
If you have an ebook that is listed with other retailers, such as Kobo or Walmart, then we will keep the edition with the ISBN. If it is only available on Amazon, we will merge the 2 records.
Robin wrote: "I just want to be sure none of my reviews get deleted."they will not, which is why I am trying to do this the right way, and get the right editions merged.
Robin wrote: "It's only available at Amazon."I will queue it to be merged, it will take a few days to disappear because the site is heavily cached.
Robin wrote: "It's only available at Amazon."If you will post links of the ebooks that are actually Kindle editions, I will review them, or I can go through them myself and ask you questions about them.
I'll help you however I can or that you prefer.

this one has 2 ISBNs, and were published a year apart. Can you shed any light on that? One of them will be merged with the Kindle edition. One has no cover. So I'll work on the others. Let me know about that one.

Has The Landscaper's Christmas been published?
Delivery Man ISBN - I'm not sure what you're asking, I triple-checked the number on my list of book ISBNs, and this one is correct: "The real ISBN for The Delivery is: 9781944514013"The Landscaper's Christmas - has not been published yet, nor is it on pre-order.

I will have to keep this, since it was imported from smashwords and has been a valid publication at least for a time.

It has been added with no publication information. I will note in the description that it is not yet published.

Ok, I have no idea how The Landscaper's Christmas book is on Smashwords...let me look into this on my end.

oh, ok.

And also, someone was already working on these books.
