Bruno Rodrigues | 13941 comments These two editions are duplicates:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

One of the editions has the ISBN 10 and 13, and the other has the ASIN, matching the ISBN10 of the other edition.

Both editions lead to the same Amazon page

So I ask to move the ASIN and merge the editions.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12817 comments Generally speaking, superlibrarians cannot handle ISBN or ASIN issues, please read before posting.

As another rule of thumb, if the edition was shelved less than five times, anything we can do you can do yourself.

For the subject itself, there is no reason to preserve the ASIN since it is identical to the ISBN. I therefore deleted it, something which you could have done yourself. Please DONT RECOMBINE until the merge is done, see the merge policy in the librarian manual.

Bruno Rodrigues | 13941 comments Thank you for your explanations.

Almost 48 hrs after you merged them, the 'second entry' edition: Deleted edition id=[book ID] title=[book tile] primary author=[author name], merged 0 reviews - This indicates that the merge is now complete still didn't appeared, so I contacted GR Support about this.

So this request is now done
