Diana Sousa (dianasousa) | 18 comments Greetings,

Someone added some extra editions to this book, and as a normal Librarian I don't think I can do anything to merge them or delete the extra ones.

As you can see here: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... the book currently has 6 editions, which shouldn't be the case. There should be hardcover, a paperback, and an ebook edition.

This edition doesn't have an ISBN, so I think it could be deleted?

Same for this one, which is also missing some information, and is repeat on other digital versions:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
This one too: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

(This is the proper Kindle / ebook version: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)

Some of the editions also have only 3 reviews, while others have 14, and I'm not sure what's up with that. If anyone could help me out here, or tell me what I can do to organize this better, I'd be grateful!

Thank you.

Thank you, Corinne! I'm a Librarian as well, but I saw no way to delete an incorrect version or merge it with another, which is why I've posted here.

I'll try and do as you suggested, then. Could you link me to the Super Librarian's group? I thought those requests should be made on this forum.

Thank you!

Do you know how to now? the edition status is right above the title line. screengrab of how it looks: https://gyazo.com/9c3f04559675391e066......"


Thank you so much for sharing those links, I wasn't aware of that new system. I've read the guidelines and I'll act accordingly!

Thank you!

I've been around for a while, yes! Got Librarian status before I got the Author one, so that might have helped :P

With the new system I wasn't sure if a standard Libriarian could take care of the changes, which is why I thought this might be the place to ask about it. But next time I'll post it in the Questions folder!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these things, it's really helpful.
