Lynn (qwerty0987) | 11 comments The user who added it spelt the author's name wrongly. However, there are 5 people who have added it in their bookshelves.

I wanted to delete it because it has no ISBN, is a repeat edition, has no book cover. But after I edited the author's name, I combined the book with the rest.

i.e. Stephenie Meyer (alot of users mistake it for spelling 'Stephanie').

So is it not right to delete the book (because it will disappear from the bookshelves of those who added it), or should it have been deleted (because it is not a new edition)?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments You need to combine the book with the other editions.

If it is truly an incorrect edition (i.e. not a alternative cover edition) then you can delete the book and the reviews will change to the most popular edition and that edition will appear on the reviewers book shelves. If the edition has more than 5 reviews you will need to ask a super to delete in the "Delete this book" thread.

Also helps to post a link so that we can see what you are seeing

I was referring to this link

The edition is correct, but under the 'Twilight' listing, there are already many titles.

Thanks for the information on the review change to popular editions and >5 reviews needing a super librarian to delete. =)


Ralph Gallagher | 200 comments Yeah, I'm pretty sure that edition should be deleted. Post it in the "Delete this book" thread and let the Super-Librarians knock it out.
