[INCOMPLETE] Merges Required: The Devil All the Time

[Drace]

There are invalid editions of the book The Devil All the Time that need to be merged.

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of US paperback, needs to be merged with ISBN 9780307744869

2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of the current UK paperback, needs to be merged with ISBN 9780099563389

3. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – This edition doesn’t exist and was arbitrarily assigned Kindle format by the bot. Merge it with whatever edition you feel like, I guess.

4. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of first UK paperback, needs to be merged with ISBN 9781846555411.

5. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – Labeled as hardcover, but using cover art that has only ever been used on the paperback. Needs to be merged with ISBN 9780385535045 (hardcover) or ISBN 9780307744869 (paperback).

6. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... – Duplicate of US digital audiobook, needs to be merged with ISBN 9780307941367.

The following editions don’t have enough shelvings to require a Superlibrarian, but if you want to take care of them while you’re here, all of the following editions are invalid:

A. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
B. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
C. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
D. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
E. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
F. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Finally, a quick question re: the US ebook editions.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – This is the first edition of the ebook. It uses the first edition hardcover’s cover art.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – This is the second edition/first ACE of the ebook. It uses the paperback cover art.

The current ebook cover art is the same as the one in the second link, but with an “A Netflix Film” logo since it got a movie adaptation back in 2020. You can see it here: https://images1.penguinrandomhouse.co... // https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – This ACE currently has the correct ebook ISBN, but its cover art is the first edition.

Would simply changing the cover art to the correct art for this one be enough to have it be the ACE, or would it have to get merged with a previous edition and have a new ACE created?

1-6 Done
7. These are separate Kindle editions, both with valid ASIN.
8. Done
A. Merged since it was shelved.
B-D set invalid
E. Does not look like an Invalid.
F. set Invalid

As for your question: Items 1 and 2 are Kindle editions, not ebook editions. They were set to ebook by bot vandalism error.

Thanks for the help and the clarification.

If you check the library edit history on E., it was previously invalidated but got restored by the bot, then was assigned a Goodreads-only ASIN. The actual UK Audible edition's ASIN is B085LTNSXM; it's not on the site (I'll be including adding the edition in a cleanup thread for this book), but you can see its Amazon page here: https://amzn.eu/d/gB0C9Cq

I see that now. This is actually even more complex, since the edit history shows the ASIN used to be B085LTRW3H. Look for that and you will see the bot assigned that ASIN to an ebook, something that cannot be undone, as far as I know.

Whichever is the case, the status was set by staff so it cannot be changed by mortals. You will need to contact support if you want this to be resolved, one way or another.
