Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6987 comments Done. Since this book is novella length at Kindle: 103 pages Paperback: 124 pages. It should be book 4.5 per Goodreads policies.

A question: Why did you create an empty edition for the ebook edition? It has not ISBN number. Is the ISBN13 number 9781960461025?

Sydney Winward | 21 comments Yes, that's the isbn for the ebook. The only edition I made was the one with the cover. After I made it, I realized there was already one there, though I didn't create it to my knowledge.

Does it have to be 4.5? the next book in the series isn't going to be 5 but 6. so it won't align correctly.

Thank you.

That is a bot error. The bot added the ISBN10 and ISBN13 that correspond to the ebook edition to the kindle edition. Editions should have ASIN numbers. Ebooks have ISBN numbers. Please contact support and ask them to move the ISBN10 and ISBN13 from the kindle edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... to the ebook edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... librarians can't edit or move this numbers. Try not to create empty books when the books have identifiers [ASIN or ISBN] add those numbers if you have them when creating a book and the system will alert you if they are already in use. Librarians or staff can make the necessary corrections if you post it in the librarian group. Empty duplicates can potentially just create more work as mergings are needed so as not to lose user saves/ratings/reviews in some cases.

Yes: "Novellas and short stories should be listed using decimals." "Note: These novellas should not be listed as primary, regardless of numbering used on other sites." Sorry, I'm just following Goodreads policy https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
