RM | 784 comments There a number of issues with this entry, and its editions:

1. The title can be cleaned up in accordance with site standards: it should simply be Merv Marrow.

2. Its original title was not Percy Prune: these are different titles, featuring different protagonists and with entirely different texts. (I own both Merv Marrow and Percy Prune and can verify this.)

3. For the same reason, 0866250611 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) and B002AXBK5Y (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) are not editions of 0862150604. The various editions of Percy Prune should have their own entries, separate and distinct from Merv Marrow.

4. For a similar reason, 0862150531 (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...) is also not an edition of 0862150604. Rory Rhubarb is, again, a distinct character, and this title should have its own distinct entry on Goodreads.

5. B001XOJW4W (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) is the same title, and should be listed as an edition of 0862150604. (I wonder whether B001XOJW4W is actually identical to 0862150604, as each Goodreads entry suggests that it was published by Studio Publications in 1982. However, my copy of 0862150604 is actually a 1985 reprint.)

Tawnya | 4154 comments I separated the books. The bots over at Amazon will lump items together. At least this time they were the same author and series.

The books that did not have ISBNs are actually used books the bots brought over. I merged them into their legitimate editions. Your direct link to B001XOJW4W is still going to the book. It has been merged. The edition that you provided the cover for is the only one actually public.

Let me know if anything else is amiss.
