Shelby (stang_lee) | 8 comments I hope I'm putting this in the right place. I found when I read Equinox, as my GR didn't update as read on the kindle version, that there were two versions of the book. It's co-authored and editions had been set up under both author's name. I combined all the editions into one, but there are still two kindle versions.

Edition #1 - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
has all the reviews, but is the wrong ASIN and page count, even though the Amazon link does take you to the correct book page on Amazon. It was listed under Eli Easton as the first author and had 6 total editions before the combine.

Edition #3 - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
has the right ASIN and page count, and the Amazon link takes you to the full series like you would expect, but the grey scale series link does not appear on the page. This was originally listed under RJ Scott and only had one other edition before I combined.

This may not be something a Superlibrarian can fix either. I'm not sure. But I thought it was at least worth posting.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments Both Kindle editions have ASINs, so we would not merge them. You correctly combined them. Googling the edition with ASIN B0CHBJHXW4 doesn't return a current Amazon listing, but it does return an obsolete listing for Amazon.in. In addition, it was added to the catalog through an Amazon import. Those clues indicate that the edition was listed for sale on Amazon at some point before being withdrawn; therefore, the edition is valid.

I cleaned up the listings, moving Eli Easton into the primary position and correcting R.J. Scott's name to include the periods after his initials. I also corrected the titles that included the series name.

The fact that the series name does not appear in grey on the newly combined editions is due to a lag caused by caching issues. It will eventually show up, though it might take a few hours. If you go to the edit page for that edition, you'll see the series link toward the bottom of the page.
