[needs more assistance] Please merge

[Darcy]

I would like this:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (correct ISBN, wrong ASIN)

to be merged into this:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (this is the auto-generated Amazon listing)

Thanks!

[Dobby]

Done.

Thanks for merging the editions, but it looks like the resulting edition has the wrong ASIN instead of the correct one. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Only Support can change ISBNs and ASINs. You'll need to contact them with details and links.

Thanks. I'm not sure I understand - the edition which was deleted and merged into the other one had the correct ASIN, but the remaining one has the wrong ASIN, so the merge was the opposite of what I wanted. Is it possible to reinstate the correct version and merge/delete the incorrect one?

[Dobby]

Short answer:
Either action would require Support's intervention (to move the ISBN, or to replace the ASIN). Because the imported edition was complete, I used that as the target.

Longer explanation:
The duplicate book record was incomplete, with no shelvings. It had the correct ASIN, according to the information you've provided.

The target book record, imported from Amazon, had shelvings, the correct ISBN, but the incorrect ASIN, according to your information. You will need to explain to Support why the imported ASIN is incorrect, since that identifier came from the Amazon listing. Librarians cannot change an ASIN once it has been imported.

Thanks, I'll contact support. I want to clarify that the record that was imported from Amazon had the correct ASIN - that was the one which was deleted, I believe. The one with the incorrect ASIN was a placeholder which had an invalid ASIN added at some point.
