Here another problem same as before. Cloud you please consider this?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
