Phil Hall | 5 comments Hi

I've been asked to write to you to request a merge of two listings of my new novel Murder O'Clock.
The relevant urls are
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Phil

Phil Hall | 5 comments Apologies if this is inconveniencing you.

It was your people who sent me the link and told me to ask the question.

What do you suggest I do?
Thanks,
Phil

Lieke | 4925 comments I combined them they are two valid editions (Kindle and paperback), there is nothing else to do.

edit: you say it is your new novel, but you post from a user profile. Is the claimed profile also yours or should we move your books to a new profile?

Phil Hall | 5 comments Hi Lieke,
I've had a profile for a couple of years but Murder O'clock is my new novel in the sense that it was published a couple of weeks ago.
Does that make sense?
Regards,
Phil

Hi Scott,

Again apologies if I'm doing something wrong.
I took out a promotion with you guys and I'm just following instructions from my contact. And starting to regret ever bothering with it.
Regards,
Phil

Librarians are not employees of Goodreads, but regular users who can edit book records. If you contacted Support, they probably told you to post in the Librarians Group, not necessarily in the Superlibrarians folder.

In Goodreads, merging and combining are different things. Combining is combining two different editions under one header (two editions remain).

Merging is combining two duplicate editions and deleting one (one edition remains).

lethe | 16359 comments There are four authors named Phil Hall on Goodreads, three of them Goodreads authors.

Could you provide titles of books you have written so we can figure out which one you are?

Lieke | 4925 comments Looking at your photo on Amazon I think non of the claimed profiles is yours. I moved your books (the ones I found on Amazon) to a new profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

You can claim this profile by filling in this form:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/conf...

If I assumed wrong please let us know. And also if you are missing any books on your profile.
