If there is a duplicate edition, you will need to be more specific and point us to that edition.

Mara (miciamara) | 16 comments Hello super librarians, I’ve recently started noticing a flurry of “new” entries that seems to be a bot-like injections of books already on GR (with no rating and no reviews). Yesterday (i think) I merged one entry, after correcting the “unknown” author (it was Winter halo by Kerri Arthur). Today I noticed plenty of other books of hers are the same weird entry. I can’t delete them and it seems to me it’s useless to keep them. But I leave the choice to your expertise. Here are some links.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13315 comments Mara, as a librarian you should know better than piggy-backing another reader's request.

Regarding the issue of invalid bot editions, it has been ongoing for months, see here. As clarified by Jaclyn, redundant paper editions with ASIN only should be marked Invalid, which you should be able to do yourself.

I went ahead and marked the first three books. The last one has a valid ISBN.
