Drace (dracenines) | 7558 comments There's an invalid duplicate of Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky that needs to be merged.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - This is an edition that has never existed (see below), but I guess it should be merged with the US paperback (ISBN 9781250768728)?

As a note, Balaji Publications is something of a recurring issue on Goodreads. It's a secondhand seller that makes Amazon listings with incorrect information (this edition is supposedly a hardcover, but there has never been a hardcover edition of Elder Race in any language) and lists their own name as the publisher's name. Given the fact that this nonexistent hardcover that they're selling is apparently $116 in Canadian dollars, the whole thing seems pretty fishy.

I don't think Goodreads has any option to search editions by publisher, but keeping an eye out for Balaji Publications editions to deal with might be worthwhile.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments I’m not aware of an option to search by publisher. My modus operandi is to merge Balaji Publications editions with the default edition when I come across them.
Done
