[DONE] Move edition to a different book?

gem There are two books in a series:
#1 Two Steps Forward
#2 Two Steps Onward

The Amazon bot incorrectly added a new edition of "Two Steps Onward" to "Two Steps Forward".

Here's the edition that's attached to the wrong book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

And here is the correct book it needs to be moved to:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Is this something a Superlibrarian can do or will I need to contact support?

Scott Any librarian can do this, so I have done it.

gem Oh d'oh, you separated that edition and then recombined it with the correct book. Sorry I didn't think of that. I thought it would be a more complicated process for some reason.

gem The edition is still appearing as a standalone work:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

I've tried recombining it several times over the past hour (along with a few other duplicate book editions for this author) and nothing is working.

Maybe the combine tool is down again...?

Scott Yeah it's been dodgy lately. I see the other combines I did for this author didn't go through either. Oh well.

gem I'll try again later today. There's an unresolved thread for it so I don't want to leave the user's request hanging. Thanks for the quick reply.
