I came across this DVD that has one rating and I can't make heads or tails of the instruction in the manual to NAB this. Merge with what? There is only this one record. And when I just click on 'edit details' there is nothing on the right side of the page that says 'mark as not a book'.

Could somebody explain what needs to be done? Thanks!

Because it has been shelved. That will only show up for items with zero shelvings.

There is no actual book to shift the shelvings onto. In such cases the please delete thread is in order. But I got this one.

Does it ever happen that a (motion picture) DVD can be merged with a book, or is that only the case with other non-book items? I'm still a bit fuzzy on this.

Yes, if the movie is based on the book, it may be worth doing that.

Ah! I knew sometimes it appeared and sometimes it didn't! I thought I was going crazy!
