(DONE) Merging duplicate editions

[charles]

I found a duplicate of the same book under a different name (presumably an early draft) but with a similar description and the same publisher. The duplicate entry has no other information available pertaining to it. Would appreciate if you could consider merging them, thanks.

The duplicate entry has 952 shelvings and Librarians are only authorized to merge book records with upto 5 shelvings.
This will need the assistance of a SuperLibrarian.

Please move your request to Requests for SuperLibrarians using the tiny EDIT-button at the right of the topic's title (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).
Don't forget to save.

The book you listed as duplicate is an omnibus paperback edition which includes all three books in the series. The description may have been taken from the first book.

I can't say if such an edition was ever released. If we can be certain it wasn't, we can merge it with the first book in the series.

Checked the author's website as well as her Amazon and Kobo listings, which only list the series' books as single entries. Her blog doesn't make any mention of a compilation volume being released either, so I believe it's a duplicate entry as opposed to an omnibus edition.

The entry in the database has no ISBN attached, and a keyword search on ISBN databases yields no results as far as I can tell.

You are correct, I don't know what I was thinking.
I merged it with the most popular edition of "The High Auction" which is also a paperback.
