Edition Merge Request – By the Light of the Bluff

[Blake]

Hi Librarians! I’m the author of *By the Light of the Bluff*. The KDP paperback (ISBN: 979-8-9989578-1-9) is currently listed as a separate edition and not linked to the main edition page.

Could you please merge it into the main listing here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks so much for your help!

Please do not bump your post every five minutes.

Hi Librarians! I’m the author of *By the Light of the Bluff*, and I have a few older BETA/test editions that were uploaded to KDP during development and are now archived.

These are no longer published or intended to be available and I would appreciate it if you could remove them from Goodreads (or at least unlink them from my author dashboard):

We do not remove out of print books.

[Scott]

As the author, you can combine your own books.

Thank you Scott. Can they be unlinked from my Dashboard please?

Of course not. You wrote them.

Great. How do I do that?

[Scott]

Just above your book list is a link that says "combine editions."

Hi Librarians! I’m the author of *By the Light of the Bluff*. The following editions are showing outdated BETA cover images, not the final book release version,

Could you please update them with the current published cover?

These are the editions needing the update:

HARDCOVER:

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

DIGITAL:

Here’s the correct current cover:

Hi Librarians, thank you again for your help so far.

I’m the author of *By the Light of the Bluff*, and I noticed that several outdated BETA/test editions of the book are still linked to my author dashboard, even though they were archived and are no longer available for sale.

I understand Goodreads policy may not allow full deletion if they’ve been shelved, but could you please **disassociate** the following editions from my author profile so they no longer appear in my author dashboard?

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

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

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

These versions were uploaded during early development and do not reflect the final book. The official published edition is here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I’d also be grateful if a note could be added to the descriptions of those outdated editions, such as:

⚠️ *This is a BETA edition of* By the Light of the Bluff. *Please see the final published version here:*
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks so much for your time and support!

Since you did not want to combine your own books, I have done it. The other editions are now "hidden" behind the primary edition, but still available for users who want to log them. They all have ISBNs, which indicates that they are valid, and will not be removed. Most readers understand about multiple editions and out of print books.
