Drace (dracenines) | 7528 comments Somehow, Goodreads has created a book page for an entire book series: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Here's the Amazon page for the series. The URL includes the number that has been assigned as the ASIN for this invalid edition: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...

Since this isn't a real book, it needs to be invalidated.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13113 comments Invalidated.
Quick history lesson: This was very common about four or five years ago. I believe a developer made a mistake, and the bot ended up importing nearly all of the series. Back then—before invalidation was an option—we spent a lot of time cleaning them up by merging them into related books. Eventually, a ninja bot sweep removed most of them, but a few, like this one, still remain.

Drace (dracenines) | 7528 comments I think the bot might still be screwing up series every now and then, because this book is from 2023.

Thanks for your help!
