This book is not mine, please move it (part 9)
Hello, I discovered a book in my author page that looks like someone with my same name, but not me. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Please help me to remove this book from my page and find the rightful owner.
The only book on my page right now should be SWARM.

There is a foreign language book on my page that is not mine. The only book that should be on my page is Bloodletting and Germs. The other book should be removed. Thank you.
Hello -- my author name is shared by three other writers, whose works all show up on my page. There are 30 books listed, apart from my single one, so do I give you the links to all 30, or just one link from each author? --Thanks.

It's for sale on Amazon as we speak. We cannot delete book records. Please start a new thread if you would like us to help you make a new cover edition.

Done. Give it a day or two to disappear.
Hi. Murder in an Irish Bog has been associated with the wrong David Pearson. This happens every time I add a new book. Could you correct this for me please? Thanks.Author of Murder on the old Bog Road and ten more books in the Galway Homicide Series.

I moved the book to your profile.
The automatic import has no way to discern which David Pearson is the proper author. It is systemic, and in no way either an oversight or an error. Your author profile has 2 spaces before your last name. This is what differentiates between you and other authors of the same name. If you post in this forum, and include a link to the book in question, and mention that your profile has 2 spaces, a librarian can move it to your profile in less than a minute. I also added the book to your series.

Can this be remedied, please?
Gordon wrote: "Suzi wrote: "I also added the paperback edition."At the bottom of my Author Page it says: "No e-books uploaded."
That message is if you had uploaded an ebook itself (as opposed to the book records on your profile) for users to download for free. It is not part of your book list.

*Bump!*I'm going to post my query again, because the previous response (32) of it "must be done by someone else" is of no help at all. Furthermore, when I then asked who the "someone else" in question may be?(33)
Well, I'm still awaiting a reponse on this one.
In short, this book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (and all its associated editions) - ASIN : B00AQBZK80 / ISBN: 1481952218 / ISBN-10 : 1470919451 - is NOT J. S. Le Fanu's 1872 novella, Carmilla. However, at some point since Christmas the two different books became linked.
My book is a full length novel, and it is a re-imagining of the story played out in the original novella. The reason Le Fanu's name appears jointly on the cover is because I have incorporated some of his characters and (public domain) prose into the book.
I stress again: The novel and novella are two separate books, telling two separate stories. NOT the same book.
In short, my novel, which was originally published in 2012, and which should have somewhere in the region of 180 Goodreads reviews, is currently showing the wrong reviews and lists over 48 thousand ratings.
If you cannot separate the different volumes, then please point me in the direction of someone able to assist. I thank you, in hopes of a response...

If the process is timing out for librarians then you'll have to contact support and have them do it.

Bad Eagle is not my book. The ISBN is 089840360X (ISBN13: 9780898403602)This is where you find it on Goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
It has the correct title and authors, but the cover photo, description are for the other books. It’s this way on Amazon, too. I’ve tried to fix it on Amazon, too. Does anyone know how to fix this?
