Nay (4ukcats) | 530 comments I have three ACEs that were created only to add a black cover with "Out of Print" or "Discontinued Edition" on them. I've added the correct cover and the valid publishing info to the ACE, so now could someone please merge the originals with them? The merge targets are exact duplicates of the original editions. I've left the ACE verbiage just so that you can see it, but it's not needed on these two once the merge is complete.

1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

2) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (I had to isolate the two editions, and I can recombine the remaining editions after the merge.)

For this one, an ACE with a black "Discontinued Edition" cover was created several months ago and since then, another ACE with the newest cover has been created. I've isolated them for the merge. Please merge this one and leave the ACE verbiage on the target because it refers back to the originally published edition (I corrected the ACE link):

3) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thank you! I can recombine any that require it once the merges are complete.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments I did 1) and 3) but I thought I'll ask about 2) because I'm not 100% sure I follow. Which edition should be the ACE target in the verbiage?


message 3: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) | 530 comments For #2, no ACE should have been created at all, so it's fine to remove the ACE verbiage.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12797 comments Oh, then I misread your text. I was expecting text relating to item 3) to come after the "3)". I went ahead and merged it as requested.

Would this edition be a placeholder or a suspected ACE?


message 5: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) | 530 comments Probably an ACE. I noticed she'd added empty extra cover editions to a few of her titles.
