lethe | 16377 comments It is not necessary and often undesirable to add the more complete name if it doesn't appear on the covers. We should only do this if a Goodreads Author requests it.

(#3 was done correctly, since Francisco José Soler Gil appear on several covers.)

#4 Since the full name does not appear on the covers, I merged José Luis Velayos Jorge into José Luis Velayos.

lethe | 16377 comments #5 Both versions appear on covers, but since they can both be found regardless of the hyphen, merged into Aquilino Polaino-Lorente.

lethe | 16377 comments I have a question about this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

You added it as a Kindle edition, but with an ISBN. Kindle editions should be added with an ASIN. Do you have the ASIN, or is it a regular ebook (not Kindle)?


message 9: by Manuel (new)

Manuel Alfonseca | 136 comments O.K. thank you!

The ASIN for the kindle edition is B07ZY7PPSY.
It also has an ISBN. Kindle books issued by publishers usually have one. Those issued by Amazon don't usually have.

lethe | 16377 comments Thank you. As far as I'm aware, only Amazon publishes Kindle editions, but I have added the ASIN :)

Yes, but Amazon allows publishers to associate their own ISBN with a kindle book. The field can be left blank, however.

lethe | 16377 comments Ah, I see. Well, since Goodreads changed their policy about adding ISBNs and ASINs, I think having both on the record is OK :)
