Combining and tidying two books

[J.C.]

Two of my books have multiple entries, all of which are incorrect.

This book: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/new?c...

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

Need to be combined. The page with all the details and reviews is correct in all aspects apart from it's name, the empty page has the correct title. So they need to be combined so that it is called 'Emperor's axe (The Last Viking #3)'

Link to the amazon page is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emperors-Axe...


The next book in the series, the amazon page for which is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolves-Empir...

has two broken entries:

This one, which only shows the audiobook and I cannot work out how to add the other versions.

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

And this one, which is clearly the Amazon data scrape one, has more information, but the cover isn't there.

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

I wanted to create a new book with all the correct information, but I didn't want to make a mess with a third entry. I wish the automated system wasn't so quick and so... inaccurate.

That last book also needs to be linked to my profile here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

So if someone could tidy those entries up I would be much obliged! I would happily do it myself, but either I can't do any of it, or I can't work out how, and I don't want to make it worse.

Thanks

Oh, there appear to be multiple bad copies of the Emperor's axe.

There is another here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

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

I really don't know how to stop this problem. Is there any way I can prevent this becoming an issue you guys have to deal with? (It happens every time).

I know that my Amazon page has JC Duncan, not J.C. Duncan, but I am not allowed to change that here (goodreads policy is periods between letters), and I cannot change it on Amazon either, so it seems I am doomed to this problem on every single launch, where a batch of poorly scraped automated entries spring up not connected to my account.

Thanks

I've modified the author, and I think that you can do some update by yourself.

The combine function on this page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...

isnt working for me, I've tried several times and waited a day for any changes to go through.

I've tried to combine the editions of Emperor's axe, and of Wolves of the Empire, but both remain split into various entries. I'm also unable to change the cover image myself, it says to ask customer service.

You just have to keep trying the combine over and over again. It is the same for librarians.

Oh ok. I will do that!
