Hi, I released my novella Lily & Thorne but it posted it as a new book (the original was a teaser and part of a short story anthology). Is it possible to merge
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
?

This is the amazon link/correct version https://www.amazon.com/Lily-Thorne-Fa...

Thank you so much! Apologies, I thought they would just merge automatically.

The ebook edition you mentioned as redundant has the ISBN 9781961131118. Could you clarify what this ISBN refers to? It also has a distinct cover, which suggests it was released separately. Otherwise, it would imply that an entry with an ISBN and cover was added for a release that didn’t actually exist.

they were released separately; the earlier version is a excerpt and was inside of a short story anthology. It sounds like what you're saying is that because they are different "enough", they should remain two different entries.

I don't understand how an excerpt inside a short story anthology has an ISBN and a cover. These elements usually suggest a separate release. What short story anthology was it?
