1. Done2. I corrected the cover on B00K71XUWW to the harper audio cover. I'm not sure why you think ASIN B0DLT5M43X is its duplicate
3. Done
4. I created the ACE for the Library Audio CD. I can't merge it with an audiobook, so both remain.
5. ISBN 9780374710781 already has this same cover. Why does it require an ACE?
2. ASIN B0DLT5M43X does not exist and is a bot-generated ASIN. B00K71XUWW is the correct ASIN for the UK Audible edition. Before you updated the cover art, it was set to art from an entirely different edition that wasn't even the same format, but B0DLT5M43X had the correct art.As an additional note, B00K71XUWW is incorrectly set to Audiobook instead of Audible, and I'm not sure where you got the cover art that you changed it to. That cover art isn't listed on Amazon or the publisher's website; the green background and the letter X made with reeds is the correct art: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/... // https://www.amazon.co.uk/Authority-So...
5. I'm honestly not sure what happened there. Could have sworn there was some kind of a cover art discrepancy between the two, but I guess not.
That said, because they have the same cover art, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... is a duplicate of ISBN 9780374710781 and they need to be merged.
2. I don't remember where I got the cover for B00K71XUWW but I now see it should have been the Audible cover so I fixed and merged. Only developers can set the format to Audible, ask support.5. Done.
1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... – Duplicate of ISBN 9780007553464
2. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... – Duplicate of ASIN B00K71XUWW, but the duplicate has the right art and the actual ASIN has incorrectly been given the UK hardcover art. [Edit: Accidentally linked the edition that currently has the correct ASIN, fixed now.]

DESCRIPTION:
Following the disastrous twelfth expedition chronicled in ‘Annihilation’, the second book of the Southern Reach trilogy introduces John Rodriguez, the new head of the government agency responsible for the safeguarding of Area X. His first day is spent grappling with the fall-out from the last expedition. Area X itself remains a mystery. But, as instructed by a higher authority known only as The Voice, the self-styled Control must battle to ‘put his house in order’.
From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes and hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the mysteries of Area X begin to reveal themselves—and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he’s promised to serve.
Undermined and under pressure to make sense of everything, Rodriguez retreats into his past in a labyrinthine search for answers. Yet the more he uncovers, the more he risks, for the secrets of the Southern Reach are more sinister than anyone could have known.

DESCRIPTION:
The bone-chilling, hair-raising second installment of the Southern Reach Trilogy. This 10th Anniversary Edition of Authority features a new introduction by Hugo Award–winning author N. K. Jemisin.
For thirty years, a secret agency called the Southern Reach has monitored expeditions into Area X—a remote and lush terrain mysteriously sequestered from civilization. After the twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez (a.k.a. "Control") is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and more than two hundred hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves—and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he's promised to serve.

FORMAT: Ebook
DESCRIPTION:
After thirty years, the only human engagement with Area X—a seemingly malevolent landscape surrounded by an invisible border and mysteriously wiped clean of all signs of civilization—has been a series of expeditions overseen by a government agency so secret it has almost been forgotten: the Southern Reach. Following the tumultuous twelfth expedition chronicled in Annihilation, the agency is in complete disarray.
John Rodriguez (aka "Control") is the Southern Reach's newly appointed head. Working with a distrustful but desperate team, a series of frustrating interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and hours of profoundly troubling video footage, Control begins to penetrate the secrets of Area X. But with each discovery he must confront disturbing truths about himself and the agency he's pledged to serve.
In Authority, the second volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, Area X's most disturbing questions are answered . . . but the answers are far from reassuring.
