Martin | 36424 comments Colouring books are valid books for Goodreads.

The other three have been removed.

Thanks.

yes, but the 1530/2463 coloring books are exactly the same, just with a different "girl name" in the title, as it is personalized. Maybe we can keep only one of them?

Martin | 36424 comments If they have identical content they could be combined as different editions of the same book but I doubt it is worth the effort.

Jennifer Bradshaw (jennywren129) | 1304 comments I've got a snowy, blizzardy cold weekend ahead of me, and I thought I'd share some projects that are, well, tedious, but better than shoveling snow. I'd recommend starting at the end of the search results and moving the beginning, so that the link will still take people to the results. Sometimes if the first page of results are all marked invalid, the search doesn't show any results.

Qiopertar (a variety, mostly clothes) about 325 items

ainr (women's clothes) about 165 items

Turbo Delivery LLC (phone cases) about 70 items

2 pack hats - about 60 items

MOXIC (rugs) about 550 items

Kristin | 39 comments This author has a mix of valid books and other not-a-book items (journals, grid paper, music paper). I already moved some items to "invalid" because they were explicitly titled "blank lined notebook." But I'm a bit trigger shy about the others because I'm not 100% sure they count as not-a-book. Please, can someone with more experience review? Thank you!

Majority blank notebooks/planners.
Also a couple of "blank" "comic book templates." No idea if those count as "not-a-books." If so, then we can do a bulk delete for this author instead of a one-by-one.

Kristin | 39 comments Dream's Art majority not-a-book plus one coloring book

toxbom majority not-a-book but a couple are called "guided journals" which implies they might have actual content

VU2 Books majority not-a-book plus a few workbooks and a coloring book

Book House majority valid plus a couple dozen blank notebooks

Book House Publishing I *think* these ALL count as not-a-book but I'm not certain. Includes things like guest books and various "logs"

Kristin | 39 comments Dotty Mills These might all be NAB but I'm not sure. Some are "log books" which seem to have some structured templates. Unsure if that counts as NAB.

Krisp Shop Similar situation as above. Might all be NAB, unsure.

These authors have a mix of valid books and NAB:
Nom
Human Editions
Stella Smith

Jennifer Bradshaw (jennywren129) | 1304 comments If the author is "unknown author", as far as I can tell, they have to be marked invalid one-by-one. If there is a different author/brand, you can check that author profile to see if everything is not a book (NAB). If everything in the profile is not a book, you can change the author to NOT A BOOK. But if the profile is mixed with valid books and non-book items, it still seems you have to invalidate the NAB one-by-one. I'd love an interface for deletion like the combine page, where you could check multiple items to mark invalid/NAB at once.

Alternatively, maybe we can use the disambiguate feature to move all the NABs to a separate profile? I tried testing it with the "unknown author" iPhone cases but I kept getting a "page does not exist" error whenever I tried to go to the author's page.
