Jeanette | 22 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Not sure why I can't delete this one. It says a super user has to do it but there are only 7 reviews.


This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments Got all of the books from the last 5 posts of Jeanette, Brandy, and Melody. Jeanette: a super user is required based on the number of shelves a book is on, not the number of reviews. The site is a little inconsistent in how it sometimes reports these numbers, but the book you refer to only had 7 reviews but was on 10 or more shelves (unreviewed for the rest).

On an unrelated note, as long as I have you all here, I should mention that tomorrow I'll be heading on a ~2 week trip to Spain, and while I may occasionally sneak a peek at GoodReads if the opportunity should present itself, I do not think it likely that I shall attend to any Librarian duties while traveling :-)

Just wanted to let everyone know what was going on in the unlikely event someone wondered why they hadn't heard from me in awhile.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Michael, Have a wonderful trip to Spain! You're so helpful here and so you would have been missed; well, you will be missed, but we won't be confused. ;-) Thanks for the heads-up.

Have wonderful trip!

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments This edition of The World is flat needs to be deleted so that it combines with This copy

I separated the 2nd listing and TRIED to separate the first one so that I could then group the two of them together and they would combine automatically when the first one is deleted. But for some crazy reason I could not get the first one to separate! It would say it was separated - then it would appear right back with the other editions. So maybe someone else will be successful.

And Michael! Have a great trip to Spain!

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments This copy of The Pact should be deleted so it combines with This copy

delete this Pact
Delete This copy and it will combine with This copy. Then put it back with The dubliners.
One of these Dubliners or
Dubliners should be deleted so they combine (they have the same ISBN numbers - not sure how that could happen either). I seperated the first one - but could not get the second one to seperate.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Melody, Got the last bunch (somebody has already done one somehow.) But, both copies of The World is Flat are actually still combined and it won't let me separate either one of them.

Rivka? Somebody?

Never mind. 3rd time was Charm. Got those/TWIF.


message 160: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This Team of Rivals can be taken out, and then the edition into which it'll merge can be combined back in with the rest.


message 161: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Cait, Ok, Done.



message 163: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Jeanette, It's gone.


message 164: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments This Edie can go; it'll merge with one that can be recombined with the other Edies. (This book was published with a variety of subtitles, but it's all the same book. The other edition without an ISBN was printed with a duplicate ISBN, so it's valid and should stay.)

Done!

(Duplicate ISBN)
Thanks!

That one did NOT want to separate out so I could combine it with its duplicate. Fortunately, Michael's trick worked. Got the sucker!


message 168: by Melody (last edited May 30, 2008 05:23AM) (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments What is Michael's trick?

Please delete: East of Eden
This copy of East of Eden should be deleted. It will combine with this copy which should then be put back with the other editions.
Please delete this The grapes of wrath
and this Tortilla Flat


message 169: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Melody,

Got the last bunch.

Rivka,

Which trick? (He's got a few.) ;-) Thanks!

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
He has many, I'm sure. ;D I mean the delete-the-duplicate-ISBN-number-from-the-recalcitrant-non-behaving-book-record (so you can merge it and delete it) trick. ;)


message 171: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ah yes. that one does work well. Thanks Rivka for clarifying.


message 172: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Even though this has an ISBN I suspect it is actually This Brief Life of Oscar Wao. If super users agree - then please delete so it will combine with the correct edition.


message 174: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Not a real ISBN, it didn't. 11 digits? O_o Deleted!

And the other 3 too.

K. (culturesick) | 1 comments Hi.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

I changed the author's name; it was originally listed at Patton. The links only lead to searches for the same title, as well.


message 176: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ok, K. I combined it with the other editions then deleted it.


message 177: by Ashley (new)

Thank you!


message 178: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ashley, Got it.


message 180: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ashley, Sure. Got them.


message 181: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 58 comments Here's a couple duplicates without ISBNs. They're already combined with the two correct editions:

Thanks!


message 182: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Caroline, Thanks. Got them.


message 184: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ashley, Got those 3 GG & S books.


message 185: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ashleym) | 145 comments One more, then I'm done for today, I swear :)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

Thank you!

Got it. And don't apologize for helping Keep GoodReads Beautiful! ;)


message 188: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got it. :)


message 189: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ashleym) | 145 comments :)

Please delete this one, it has a duplicate ISBN:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...


message 191: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ashley, I don't see the other one with the same exact ISBN 13; I saw one/a few with similar ones/maybe one or more are incorrect ISBNs? Ashley? Rivka? Anybody? For now, I left it alone.


message 192: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
And you won't. That was not a legitimate ISBN (probably because GR objected that the real one already existed). Deleted, as is the EP one.


message 193: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Thanks Rivka! I'm not particularly good at spotting these and didn't have the patience to look it up more carefully.


message 194: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
I just plug them into this. You get an error message if the ISBN is invalid.


message 195: by Lisa (last edited Jun 04, 2008 09:41AM) (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Rivka, Thanks! I think that you've shared this URL before but this time I'll keep it handy.


message 196: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Yeah, I have it bookmarked. ;)


message 198: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Melody, Got PT.


message 200: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Got The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
