Although this book has 0 reviews and 0 ratings it will not let me delete it.
This book is the wrong title and has no ISBN. It should not be on the database.

It has five adds by users.

I have added the ISBNs from Amazon.

Okay, I'll merge it with the title for the 3rd book in the series which is called "Murder at Sugar Rush Beach".

There is no reason to merge it.

There is no reason to merge it." I disagree. It is the same book but retitled by its current publisher.

We don't merge valid editions. It is correctly combined with the others.

I know. I was the one who combined it with the others.

OK. We use the term "merge" to mean essentially "delete the duplicate record so that it is absorbed into another."

I worked as a cataloger in a public library for 20 years and there they used the term merge to combine records. Deleting records is something completely different. Merge does mean combine..,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

While I have you here... I tried to create a book yesterday and was unsuccessful. I copied and pasted the ASIN directly from Amazon.co.uk but the message I got was that yhe ASIN had to be just numbers and letters. It was! So I removed the ASIN and got the same message. Is this a known issue?
