Elizabeth (Alaska) EDIT: Issue addressed. #1 is a duplicate, where the Editor wasn't in the primary position. I have combined them (pending). I can do the merge later.

Elizabeth (Alaska) Ok! I think the combines didn’t go through. But I’m now on my iPad and can’t do them. If someone else is interested, have at it. Otherwise I’ll have to get them in the morning.

Was there ever a physical copy of this?

If not, I think this should just be 2 editions: 1 ebook, 1 Kindle. Unfortunately, amazon has put the ISBNs and the ASINs on the same edition. Staff will need to move them to the 2 editions with covers and merge the edition without the cover.

Please advise about physical copy.

Elizabeth (Alaska) Post #6, 2019 - Done, with exceptions for Nov and Dec which you note, and need ISBN for March added below.

There is also no January or March for this year. Did they publish in those months? You mention no August issue in Post #6. Does that mean GR doesn't have it, or that they didn't publish an August issue.

For April, GR has 2 issues. Was there a Kindle edition? If so, ASIN? If not, will merge. Please advise.

August added:

Found the March 2019 issue and added here, will need ISBNs:

Got it! I just deleted the newly added March 2019 edition ;-)

#10 done, February created here:

For those editions that you are waiting for an ISBN, it would be just as helpful if you would make a new post for them.

This must be referred to staff. That edition has too many adds and librarians can't move the ASIN. I will do that now.


Elizabeth (Alaska) I think I'm caught up. Let me know if I've skipped something.

I think I got these.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Corinne wrote: "Elizabeth (Alaska) wrote: "I think I got these."

Please look at 34 again. I bolded one that got missed. Probably because I put that "1 of these" note"


done - again, apparently, I didn’t save it. I’m done for the night!


Elizabeth (Alaska) Staff completed #19/#29. (Thank you!)


Elizabeth (Alaska) Corinne wrote: "yay. and you were able to make a new edition and mark it invalid so noone makes that mistake again? is that how it works?"

In that instance, the correct ASIN was moved to the edition with the incorrect ASIN - it had the most adds. Then the now empty edition was marked Deleted so that adds/reviews would be moved. Deleted works like the old Merge.

Thanks for getting back to this. ISBNs added to default edition and the other marked Deleted.

Done.

Titled it The Dark Magazine - Subscription only. Marked Invalid.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Excellent. There is still Post #36 with the missing ISBNs. I hope we can complete those.
