Grace B. (kivaaa) | 15 comments Hi,

The book in question is a Bulgarian edition of "Lolita":
Book name: Лолита
Author: Владимир Набоков
Publisher: Народна култура
Year: 1991

This is book cover:


Link to the author page in English: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Link to the author page in Russian (and I presume Bulgarian): https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I know it's hard to delete books if there's a review on it. If it was merged, shouldn't my review be transferred? "Lolita" is nowhere to be found in my books and I'm kind of devastated because I spent quite a lot of time on this review. Can you tell me how this happened and if the book and review can be restored?

Grace B. (kivaaa) | 15 comments No, sorry. I don't own the book and the only thing I could find online was a "Code/Thematic number": 04/9536329411/5532-63-91

Only "9536329411" resembles an ISBN-10, but another book exists with it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

So I'm back to square one. I can give you lots of information about the editor, translator, who wrote the introduction, etc.

Scott | 8823 comments Unfortunately with a classic like this it's very hard to zero in on a particular edition. Have you looked through your books to see if any other edition of Lolita appears? I suspect the autobots have deleted it.

Thank you, I sent a report. Hopefully, they'll be able to resolve it. I'll update this thread as well.
