Michael (mwelser) | 217 comments Please combine (I can't, obviously GR has changed policy wrt "acceptable" combines)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...

and then delete

https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/5...

It will merge into the correct (hardcover, btw) edition.

Thank you, Michael

There have been no recent changes regarding Goodreads Librarians being able to combine editions of a work.

Please link to book/show page, not to book/edit pages.

2nd attempt:

Please combine (I can't, I tried several times)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...

and then delete

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It will merge into the correct (hardcover, btw) edition.

Thank you, Michael

Are you saying there is no paperback edition, or just that it has the wrong (and truncated) ISBN?


message 5: by Michael (new)

Michael (mwelser) | 217 comments I am trying to say that this submission should be deleted because the first part of the ISBN is identical to the ISBN of the hardcover version which already exists in GR (and to which I tried my unsuccessful combine) and because there is no existing paperback edition of this work in the real world. This seems to be just a not very carefully executed submission for an edition already in place and should therefore be merged and deleted. Please.
