Patrick Doyle | 22 comments Hi

(Please note: the book above is mine but it's not the one I have a problem with. As you'll see below, I am unable to list my new book so I'm unable to select it for this question.)

Yesterday I uploaded an announcement for my upcoming book, Catching Hanif's Eye, but I forgot to include the ASIN (B0F89K9NCS ). When I went back to add it I got an error message that says that the ASIN is taken by an exisiting book and that link takes me to a second listing of my same book. Below is the link to that incorrect listing:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The only way I can bring up the correct listing is through my author page. Below is the correct listing.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Meanwhile when I do a search by title, the book doesn't come up.

Can you please delete the incorrect listing (it has no cover image) and make the correct listing searchable? Thank you.

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 20399 comments This request does not involve the adding of new books/new editions to the Goodreads database, so it is in the wrong folder..
See Where should I put my request? (folder overview)

Please MOVE your topic to the correct folder Book & Author Page Issues by clicking the (EDIT) button next to the topic's title and picking the target folder from the pulldown list (only available for desktop/laptop, not in the app).

Patrick Doyle | 22 comments Follow up to librarian dealing with Book and Author Page Issues. Now both links look the same but there should be only one and the book still does not show when searched. Thanks

Rachel | 446 comments The Kindle edition (the one you say is incorrect) is the correct listing as it was automatically uploaded from Amazon's catalog. The book is searchable by ASIN, give it a few days to be searchable by title and author.

Thanks for that. One thing. The pub date is October 1 ehich this listings shows but it also says that the expected release date is Sptember 1. Can you correct this?
