Abigail Kay | 12 comments My novel was supposed to release last year, but medical issues came up and it was delayed until this year.

It came up on Goodreads with two editions. Could you merge them, please?

The CORRECT edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The outdated edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Emily | 17526 comments *Copies with the woman and Harris on the cover. I see the older one from 2023.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12926 comments One of the editions is a Kindle, the other is a paperback, so I'm not sure what you are requesting. Perhaps you are requesting to replace a cover? Anyway, it doesn't seem like something that requires a superlibrarian, so please move your request or repost it to the appropriate folder.

I have both names on the editions as I can't change the name on my old account (despite legal reasons for the name change request due to a protective order) so I left it on my old account and I need the book editions to be the correct edition of kindle (I have no idea why they are under other edition types) and merged with BOTH pen names as I do not want to lose the stats on my original account.

Abigail Kay | 12 comments I was also told that a request such as this had to be posted in the super librarians section. Please let me know the proper posting location where I can actually receive the assistance I need.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12926 comments This depends on what you need, which I still don't understand. Since the editions you linked are not duplicate of each other, it seems like they need to be combined (=grouped together), not merged (=deleted). I went ahead and did that, but combining does not require a superlibrarian so future requests should be made in the "Book & Author Page Issues" folder. Otherwise:
Where should I post my request?

Emily | 17526 comments I had assumed since you were directed to the superlibrarian folder somewhere that you meant you needed an unreleased version deleted.

I was asking if copies were released because if not, I would be able to merge them with their counterparts. I was actually trying to give you assistance, and I had already combined the books together under the same umbrella record in preparation.

The ones you linked to were paperback and Kindle so those can't be merged together since they are different formats.

I have changed the cover on the Kindle edition to the latest one. You can mark it as the default if you like.
