[INCOMPLETE] Cleanup: The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands

[Drace]

There are a number of errors that need to be cleaned up with the upcoming novel The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands.

1. US Hardcover Edition: The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands (ISBN 9781250878618)

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:
For fans of Piranesi and The Midnight Library, a stunning historical fantasy novel set on a grand express train, about a group of passengers on a dangerous journey across a magical landscape

It is said there is a price that every passenger must pay. A price beyond the cost of a ticket.

There is only one way to travel across the Wastelands: on the Trans-Siberian Express, a train as famous for its luxury as for its danger. The train is never short of passengers, eager to catch sight of Wastelands creatures more miraculous and terrifying than anything they could imagine. But on the train's last journey, something went horribly wrong, though no one seems to remember what exactly happened. Not even Zhang Weiwei, who has spent her life onboard and thought she knew all of the train’s secrets.

Now, the train is about to embark again, with a new set of passengers. Among them are Marya Petrovna, a grieving woman with a borrowed name; Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist looking for redemption; and Elena, a beguiling stowaway with a powerful connection to the Wastelands itself. Weiwei knows she should report Elena, but she can’t help but be drawn to her. As the girls begin a forbidden friendship, there are warning signs that the rules of the Wastelands are changing and the train might once again be imperiled. Can the passengers trust each other, as the wildness outside threatens to consume them all?

6. UK Hardcover Edition: The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands (ISBN 9781399607537)

- The ISBN-10 and ASIN are both missing. They should be 1399607537.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:
It is said there is a price that every passenger must pay. A price beyond the cost of a ticket.

It is the end of the nineteenth century and the world is awash with marvels. But there is nothing so marvellous as the Wastelands: a terrain of terrible miracles that lies between Beijing and Moscow.

Nothing touches the Wastelands except the Great Trans-Siberian Express: an impenetrable train built to carry cargo across continents, but which now transports anyone who dares.

Onto the platform steps a curious cast of characters: Marya, a grieving woman with a borrowed name; Weiwei, a famous child born on the train; and Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist.

But there are whispers that the train isn’t safe. As secrets and stories begin to unravel, the passengers and crew must survive their journey together, even as something uncontrollable seems to be breaking in . . .

Bumping.

[Drace]

Another bump.

[Patricia]

All done except #7&8. Their ISBN and ASIN got mixed up and that book is set as "Deleted".

[Drace]

A few issues left to correct:

#3 has been given the UK edition's cover art. It needs to be given US cover art as linked in that section of the post.

#9 still needs to be added.

I'm not sure what you mean by "deleted". Can they not be re-added? Would I need to go to the superlibrarian folder to ask them to correct the issue?

[Patricia]

#3 is done
#9 added
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The book is deleted which means you can't rate or add to shelved but I can change the status of the book into "Public" but I can't change or edit the ISBN or the ASIN of the book so you need a superlibrarian to do that.

[Drace]

Can you please change the status for those two books to public so that they're visible?

Superlibrarians cannot changes isbn's or asin's, see https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

and recently this announcement was posted that ASIN's can no longer be edited or removed, not even by GR Staff,: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Here it is
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The ISBN of #7 is in #8. Do you still want to edit the book?

[Drace]

The edition with the ISBNs and ASINs from 7 and 8 are listed as a separate edition from the actual book. If somebody could please combine it, I'll send a message to Support to correct the ISBN issue.
