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

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.

Violetta | 477 comments I suspect that this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) is a duplicate of this book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...), as the ISBN listed, 9780007448, is invalid.

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

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).

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.

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

Separated for merging.

However she has vandalized one of the editions trying to NAB it. Reverted.



This can be merged into the default edition as well: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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).

Lisa Swallow (lisaswallow) | 13 comments Hi there.
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! :)
