Lainey Delaroque (laineydelaroque) | 14 comments Hello, for some reason a new listing of my newest book has appeared - it appears to be a duplicate of the same kindle edition that I put up as the author.

Can you please delete or merge as appropriate?

Many many thanks!

annob [on hiatus] (annob) | 4048 comments The placeholder record is queued for merge (deletion). Its ratings, reviews and shelvings will be tranferred to the edition with the Kindle ASIN.

When you add a book record manually, and don't include an ASIN or ISBN id, a duplicate record will likely be automatically imported through Goodreads' import feeds from Amazon, Ingram and similar sources. If you can add your Kindle ASIN before that happens, it will block the creation of an imported duplicate. But if it does happen again, this is the right place to ask for help :)
