Drace (dracenines) | 7415 comments There are a number of invalid editions of the book Blitzed by Norman Ohler that need to be dealt with.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... – blank edition with no cover or ISBNs. Based on subtitle, needs to be merged with the US hardcover edition: Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... – blank edition with no cover or ISBNs. No subtitle so I guess merge it with whatever English edition strikes your fancy.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... – Invalid edition, the ISBN here is the same as the hardcover’s ISBN but has the letter I in it instead of a 1. Needs to be merged with the US hardcover edition: Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... – Invalid edition. The ISBN-10 here is not actually valid. It’s the first 10 digits of the UK paperback edition’s ISBN-13. It needs to be merged with the UK paperback: Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... – blank edition with no cover or ISBNs. Based on subtitle, needs to be merged with the US hardcover edition: Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – blank edition with no ISBNs or ASINs. Says it’s an audible edition, so needs to be merged with the actual US Audible edition on Goodreads: Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – no ISBNs, needs to be merged with UK paperback: Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – invalid edition of German hardcover made by Goodreads bot importing a secondhand seller, needs to be merged: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – blank edition, no ISBNs, either mark invalid or merge with whatever edition you feel like.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – blank edition, no ISBNs, either mark invalid or merge with whatever edition you feel like.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – blank edition, there is no US digital audiobook edition so I guess just merge with whatever edition

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – blank edition with no cover or ISBNs. Based on subtitle, needs to be merged with the US hardcover edition: Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – invalid edition that seems to just be complete gibberish typed into the various metadata fields at random, should be marked invalid

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments Regarding your first and sixth requests, is there a reason you believe these blank edition should be merged with the US hardcover edition rather than the much more popular Kindle edition of the same subtitle?
Requests #8, #9 and I presume everything onwards, do not require a superlibrarian since they were shelved less than five times. Please repost them to the "Book & Author Page Issues" folder.

Drace (dracenines) | 7415 comments For the sixth one, the publisher is listed as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt rather than Mariner Books. HMH is the imprint that the original hardcover was published under, whereas the paperback and Kindle are Mariner Books.

For the first one, not really. I went with hardcover because that's the edition I have currently checked out from the library, but if it should be merged with the Kindle instead because of popularity/shelvings count, I don't see any reason why not.

Will repost them to Book/Author Issues at some point in the near future. Thank you for your help.
