Please delete this book! (pt. 31) [Anyone requests; leave deletions for superlibrarians]

What is the reason # 6, 9 and 12 should be deleted?

Didn't you notice the same cover? Another thing, look at the title, now compare with cover. There is an extra র

There is a serious problem with Bengali. In bengali there is a term, "Juk-tak-khor". Goodreads's search engine is so bogus that it cannot find the book, titled with Juk-tak-khor.
This two images can say you everything, I think.

Deleted the duplicates. All should be done now.

However, a quick search of that partial ISBN leads me to 9780007448036, so I could be wrong and maybe https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is an ACE?
Thanks in advance!

It is one of those "I'm really excited that this book has been confirmed, no data is known yet, but I want somewhere to express my excitement"-books that has no real data + the real book is already available for reviewing on the site

Here's the link of the list: https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8...+
Don't delete this one as this one has been added to the series list. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

please recombine

This edition had the isbn13 without 978 in the isbn field. Merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Also please check if those two are to be merged, I think so, but can't be a 100%: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

And finally merge: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Recombine all of the above with Pure (Pure, #1).

Thank you so much, Lethe :)

I think those are cases where someone read a public domain version of an old book or story and added some internet jpeg as a cover just to have a cover on it.

and re-combine with: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

That is an incorrect title. The correct title is also listed.

Do I recombine them? I was trying to change things to get one to delete. Do I go ahead now and place them back with the others?


No, they need to be separated so the reviews will be transferred to the corresponding edition. When a super- librarian deletes one of the edition they will re-combine.

Not a problem, just ask in the group and we will help.
For example see this link on how to set a default edition for a book, this way you can change which edition to be shown when people do a search.
It is okay to put in the description a comment such as "this edition is no longer in print", but no need to remove all other data and full description. When users search by ASIN/ISBN their edition will show up.
Not a book is reserved for things that are actually not books (toys, DVDs and calendars being the most common).

Can a Super librarian delete this book of mine please.
It was only available for a limited time, on e-copy. It's no longer available and will never be again. Plus I never added it, someone else did, from Amazon details.
It has more than 5 ratings, so I couldn't get a normal Librarian to do it.
Thanks so much! :)
