Jennifer Bradshaw (jennywren129) | 1304 comments These are search results for non-book items that need to be edited to be "invalid" one-by-one. It isn't possible to NOT A BOOK the authors because the author is generally "unknown author."

LHGY Vinyl Decals (about 230 items)

PJewelry beads/jewelry items (about 380 items)

Pro Jewelry .925 beads/jewelry (about 350 items)

Pro Jewelry .925 beads/jewelry (mixed into the results -- some have Pro Jewelry .925 in the titles, but some are missing the 925)

Elizabeth (Alaska) Choose any author who was publishing before about 1920 and filter the combine page for Leather Bound. About 99% of books in the result will be Invalid items.

Camilla | 343 comments #4 and #5 were mostly done by someone, caught a few stragglers. But these will multiply, no doubt.

#11, #15, and #16 seem to be done by someone

Clare O'Beara | 1119 comments Seems like ten or so would be quite sufficient. Or if it's a genuine staff test, they should remove the dud when test complete.
While we're at it...

Heh, I was the OP posting this to the Librarian's Group yesterday (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...). Didn't get a response.
I take it there's no way to batch-edit?! Surely this is a job for IT... Doesn't make sense to do it individually at all.

MAPOLO boots ~200 -- these have taken over the records for music scores so the image and author/composer are for the music score, while the titles and descriptions are for the boots. Some of the composers' names can be updated (missing diacritics, etc.) as well.
(example: Dvo AK).
