ACE Creation and Merging: Annihilation

[Drace]

The UK ebook edition of Annihilation 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:

DESCRIPTION:

THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE EXTRAORDINARY SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY – NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY ALEX GARLAND (EX MACHINA) AND STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN AND OSCAR ISAAC

For thirty years, Area X has remained mysterious and remote behind its intangible border – an environmental disaster zone, though to all appearances an abundant wilderness.

The Southern Reach, a secretive government agency, has sent eleven expeditions to investigate Area X. One has ended in mass suicide, another in a hail of gunfire, the eleventh in a fatal cancer epidemic.

Now four women embark on the twelfth expedition into the unknown.

2. Merge the newly-created edition with this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


There are additional merges to carry out across various editions of this book in the near future as well. Please let me know whether I should add them in this thread or start a new thread once I have them all written up.

If it's the same book you should use the same thread. This way we can choose to do multiple re-combines at once. Please maintain some indexing, so we can state which ones we already did.

Thank you.

Merges that are required:

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - Duplicates of the first edition UK ebook. Neither have an ISBN anymore because of ACEs. February 4, 2014 is the correct publication date. (I don't think there's a way to remove the ASIN through the merge process, but if there is, that should probably be done since it's a Goodreads-created ASIN.)

2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - Duplicate edition of an audiobook that was previously marked invalid but then restored by the Goodreads bot. Needs to be merged with ISBN 9781482956702 (US digital audiobook).

3. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... - Duplicate of UK movie tie-in edition, ISBN 9780008263348

4. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... - Duplicate of French edition, ISBN 9782253183785

5. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... - Duplicate of US ebook, ISBN 9780374710774. (The bot merged the ebook ISBN with the Kindle edition during its Autumn 2024 rampage, but I talked to Staff to get the old edition of the ebook recreated. I will be working with librarians to create the ACE for the ebook in the near future.)

6. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - Completely unrelated Marvel comic book that has somehow ended up as an edition here. Unsure how to proceed with this one.

7. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - Duplicate of CA paperback, ISBN 9781443428392
