Drace (dracenines) | 7539 comments There are merges to carry out on the book Burning Chrome by William Gibson.

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780062273017, needs to be merged.

2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780586074619, needs to be merged. It says Alternate Cover but it’s very clearly the same cover, just two different photos.

3. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780441089345, needs to be merged.

4. ACE Creation Required:

This book has an Alternate Cover Edition that is already listed on Goodreads, but does not have the correct ISBNs/ASIN. These are still assigned to an earlier edition. The following steps need to be taken:

4.1. Create an ACE of ISBN 9780586074619 with the following information:

TITLE: Burning Chrome
AUTHOR: William Gibson
PREFACE: Bruce Sterling
ISBN-10: 0586074619
ISBN-13: 9780586074619
ASIN: 0586074619
PUBLISHER: Harper Voyager
DATE PUBLISHED: According to the copyright page: 2000
NUMBER OF PAGES: WorldCat lists 220.
FORMAT: Mass Market Paperback
DESCRIPTION [transcribed from the back cover]:

Ten brilliant, seminal, hard-edged, nerve-enhancing stories from the unchallenged guru, prophet, and voice of the new cybernetic world order and virtual reality. The stories, with their vivid cast of lowlife characters in an intensely realized high-tech world, paint an instantly recognizable portrait of the modern predicament.

EDITION LANGUAGE: English
COVER ART: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6... // https://www.amazon.com/dp/0586074619

4.2. Merge the newly created edition with this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments One of a very select group of books which I rated five stars.

1. Is a Kindle set to ebook by the bot, ACE of ASIN B00ICMWZH4. I'm not sure what the new rules are about Kindle ACEs and how they should be merged so I'm going to leave all such merges to the esteemed support experts.
2. Done
3. Done
4. Done.

Drace (dracenines) | 7539 comments Thanks for your help.

The edition I linked in #1 and ASIN B00ICMWZH4 have the exact same cover art, so I'm not sure why they shouldn't be merged.

Additionally, the description for #1 says that it's an ACE of the UK Kindle edition (ASIN B01BKS2X2S), but this isn't correct or possible. #1 is listed as being published by Harper Voyager, the imprint of HarperCollins that currently publishes Burning Chrome in the US, and uses the current US cover art for the book. ASIN B01BKS2X2S is solely a UK edition and published by Gollancz, a publisher that is owned by Hachette and has never had anything to do with HarperCollins in the US or the UK.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments OK, merged with ASIN B00ICMWZH4

Drace (dracenines) | 7539 comments Much appreciated! Could you please also remove the incorrect ACE note from ASIN B01BKS2X2S? If not, no worries, I'll be posting a cleanup thread for the book elsewhere and will include removing it as a step that needs to be taken. Thanks so much!

David Raz (davidraz) | 13124 comments I already did, it's just cache delay
