Deleting early works

[Candi]

Dear Superlibrarian,

I would appreciate the deletion of three of my works from Goodreads, if possible. viz: ISBN 9781-1-90699-427-3; ISBN 0-9551032-2-3; ISBN 978-1-90699-436-5

These are early versions of my novels, the rights to which have reverted to me. (Happy to produce evidence of this.) Their presence on Goodreads undermines a charitable endeavour I am working on. Allow me to explain.

I have now revised Salt and Honey and Kalahari Passage, adding additional material. I have self-published them for a charity I co-founded in 2017, which benefits the needs of the community featured in the novels. (Check out my author page and website.) I receive no income from sales of the early versions of my novels, and thus, nor does the charity.

My Books that shouldn’t be deleted.
Here is the ISBN of the revised version of Salt & Honey, Koba book 1 : 9781739411336. I will shortly be publishing the revised edition of the sequel, Kalahari Passage, Koba book 2 ISBN 978-1-7394113-2-9, via Amazon KDP, and making an effort to advertise it. Given that my publishing venture is philanthropic, I cannot afford for the ad spend to result in increased sales for the illegal copies still listed on Amazon (the three ISBNs listed above.) My worry is that the Goodreads listing of all versions of my novels, may drive buyers to the wrong (illegal versions.) Amazon has noted my protests, and no longer supplies ISBN 978-1-90699-436-5, as far as I can see. Delisting this book on Goodreads will help too, I feel.

Sorry to trouble you and apologies if this is a bit complicated. I really hope you are able to help me and thus the Kalahari kids I feed via income from sales of my self-published titles.

Thank you,
Candi MillerKalahari Passage
