Renske | 12220 comments 151 Not all were duplicates and some of the duplicates needed to be merged with a different edition than the default edition. But the duplicates are merged.

152 The yellow part in the upper right corner seems different, it looks one has two words, the other one.

153 done

154 I think I'm missing to what you are referring to.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #163 - Was that book ever released with that cover, even if it was for free to beta readers, or advanced readers?


message 156: by James (new)

James Farner | 3 comments Hello,

This is the main book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

There's a duplicate of it here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Can the duplicate be removed, please?

Also, this book cover is outdated. Can the current cover (extracted from the Amazon link on the page) be applied? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you!

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #161 - Was the book released as an ebook instead of just as a Kindle? If so it would probably be beneficial to add the ebook edition information, since it is listed as that and not as a kindle.

I did combine for the moment, but can merge if that ends up being the proper thing.

I also standardized your titles for GR series standards, and created your series.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #161 - We do not remove old book covers but create an ACE (Alternate Cover Edition), that way people can shelve the book they read.

Here is your ACE:1964

You can change which edition is seen by default when a user searches for your book or looks at your Author Page.

Here is how to set your Default Edition.

169 We don't remove out-of-print editions. We have a policy how you can mark your book as no longer available, but I can't find the link to that at this moment.

170 Merged the editions.

Out of print is not to be taken literally here. For an ebook, it means 'no longer available'.

Same book. One listing is paperback and one is kindle. GR doesn't really keep separate listings on purpose for one format versus another, does it?

Absolutely YES. They should not be deleted.

However, different formats should be combined, which I have done. (In future, this is the wrong thread. You were misdirected. A new thread in Book Issues is best for such requests.)


message 185: by Chris (new)

Chris (kingtermite) | 11 comments OK. Thanks for the quick work and thanks for the tip.

I would normally have started a new thread, but it looked like maybe that first thread I posted in was an all-encompassing thread for this, so I used it as first option.


message 186: by Zachary (new)

Zachary Bartels | 3 comments Hello. Recently, a second copy of my book 42 Months Dry appeared on GoodReads.

The original page is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... .... please note that it lacks the subtitle, but has 10 reviews and has been up for quite some time.

The newer page, which has the subtitle, but no reviews, is here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Ideally, the second one would be deleted and the subtitle added to the first one.

Thanks!
