Drace (dracenines) | 7539 comments There are duplicate editions of the book Pandemonium that need to be merged.

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... – Duplicate of the ebook edition (ISBN 9780345509697), needs to be merged. (Note: ISBN 9780345509697 is incorrectly labeled as a Kindle edition, the ISBN is accurate but it should be marked as an ebook.)

2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of paperback edition (ISBN 9780345501165), needs to be merged.

The following don’t need a superlibrarian because they’ve been shelved fewer than 5 times, but if you want to take care of them, it would be appreciated (if not, no worries; I’ll put them in the eventual cleanup thread):

A. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – duplicate of ISBN 9780345501165
B. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – duplicate of one of the CD audiobook editions, but it’s not clear which one.
C. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – duplicate of ISBN 9780345501165
D. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... – can be invalidated

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments 1. The "ebook" was a misformatted Kindle edition, and the "Kindle" was a misformatted ebook editions. I reverted both bot "improvements."
2. Only shelved four times so does not require a superlibrarian.

I would usually do all the rest as well, but we have a backlog of superlibrarian requests that needs to be addressed first.

Thanks for clearing up the format issue. #1 is still a duplicate, and it needs to be merged with the Kindle edition (ASIN B001E70RVK). The librarian notes in the linked edition clarify that for some reason that ASIN was moved to a newly created edition for some unknown reason, and Goodreads later added the site-only ASIN. It can't be an ACE because Kindle cover art never has those weirdly rounded edges; I have no idea where that rounded-edge cover art came from, but it definitely wasn't any kind of valid source.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments "ASIN was temporarily moved" was the standard ACE librarian note around 2018-2019. As to why an ACE was created with an identical cover, I don't know. Anyway, as it stands now, you are correct and the Kindle ACE is redundant since the covers are identical, barring the odd rounded corners. I merged the redundant one.
