Sanjoy Kumar Boshu | 340 comments Edition page: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Book list:
1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
3. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

3 is the main edition and real book edition, keep this. 1 is ebook edition but not official. It is part of a magazine that is manually scan by someone. 2 is duplicate of 1. So please merge these 3 edition into one by keeping 3 and make 3 is default edition.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments Done. You didn't leave a recombine target, so I assume either it is not needed, or you are going to handle it.

Please merge this edition into one. keep last one with ISBN and make this default.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments A new thread for every request is preferred.

Some of these are paperback and some are hardcover plus there are two very distinct covers. As a librarian you should merging all these editions is very much against policy.

Since I don't know the language I rather not touch it at all until you explain what exactly needs to be done.

Sanjoy Kumar Boshu | 340 comments Ok. Next time I will post a new post for another request.

All books are not real book except last one with ISBN. Because last one (with ISBN) is recently(2024) published where others created in 2020 when those content published in a part of a magazine. So those are not a real book. Please merge those by keeping last one( with ISBN) and make it default.

Thank you for your response.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments The turnaround in this forum is around three days. Please don't bump more often than that.

For the matter itself, a novella published as part of a magazine is indeed not a book and could be marked invalid. However, if we have a suitable target for merge we prefer to use it and maintain all the reviews and shelves.

Done.
