Two books to merge

[Nemesia]

Hi everyone,

I found 2 different entries for the same book:

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

I think they need to be merged.

Thank you in advance for your help and keep up the good work! :)

Combined, which does not require a super librarian.

Oh, sorry, I thought merging 2 books was not the same as combining 2 editions of the same book. I'll know better for next time. :)
Thanks for your help.

Merging is indeed not the same as combining. Merging means deleting a duplicate, combining means keeping two different editions of the same work.

So how do you combine two books? I know how to combine two editions of the same book, but I didn't find the tool for this.

Thank you for your help.

Navigate to the author's profile page and click on Combine editions next to author's book list. Note: You can only combine books with the same primary author. ...
You may wish to filter by work ID or keyword. ...
Check the box next to the titles that need to be combined.
Click Combine editions.

I have just combined two books, but author's profile is unaccessible now...

Well, authors profile appeared =)

But I need to merge two Ukrainian editions of a book here now:

Thanks! I just have to remember to change the author first if needed. :) It makes sense.

The two editions have different ISBNs, they should not be merged.
