David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments In the future, please number your requests so we can be sure we handle them all.

1. Not done. One of the editions has ISBN and the other has ASIN and librarians can no longer edit ASINs/ISBNs. You will need to contact support and ask them to move the ASIN to the ISBN version and merge them..

2. Not done. The first is an ebook (with ISBN), the second is a Kindle (with ASIN). These are different editions.

3. Done

4. Not Done. Edition 1 has an ISBN but Kindle editions should not have ISBN, they use ASIN. The ISBN probably belongs to an ebook editions, so I changed the format. The other three editions are Kindle, but each has a different ASIN so they cannot be merged. Editions 2 and 3 have ASIN from Amazon which is probably correct. Edition 4 has an ASIN added manually. If you want to delete an edition with an ASIN you will need to contact support.

Scott | 8684 comments It probably wasn't getting done because you posted it on the weekend and a holiday.

In addition to what Scott said, you will want to read this post and keep in mind that superlibrarians, like all librarians, are volunteers.

Christina (christinahoag) | 33 comments Thanks so much David. I just saw a lot of other requests filed after mine being marked DONE, so I was wondering what was preventing mine from being done. Appreciate all you do! It's very tedious work.
