That is the count my hard cover book has- thanks!
Can you add the series title (Hearts of Hunter Ridge) and Book #1 to Rekindling the Widower's Heart. This info can be verified at http://www.paperbackswap.com/Rekindli...Thanks!
Okay, I wanted to combine edition for:1: Nirvana (Nirvana #1)
2: Nirvana (Nirvana #1)
You may see that I've tried do some adjustments as it will not let me combine due to authors linked on book #2 is NOT the right author.
I've tried changing the author on book #2 to match book one but it's linking to a different J.R. Stewart, the correct one being J.R. Stewart but I couldn't...
Does anyone know what else I could do before contacting GR support? TIA
Hi Tien - I noticed that the two authors names are slightly different in that the 1st book has two spaces between the initials and the surname and the 2nd only has one (in the edit details). Would that make a difference?

You've got sharp eyes! Cheers!

Can someone please verify the FIRST PUBLISHED date for:Tell No One

I checked 2 book sites we're able to use info from and corrected 1st pub to June 19, 2001 which both sites have as the hardback 1st edition pub date
Could you add how many audio discs to this book'smain page?

(There are 7 discs)

Other librarians might know if there's a way to make it say "7 discs" - I couldn't find a way, but I updated the "page" count to be 7.
For audio books the rule is to put the hours of the audio in the pages place, not the numbers of disks.So if you can tell us how many hours this runs, we can put this into the information.
Can someone add the series name and number for this book? The series title can be seen on the front cover and I'm including a link to the series page for verification.

Another "first published" date that is wonkyMy Racing Heart: The Passionate World of Thoroughbreds and the Track
"first published 1902" !! I don't believe the author was even born in 1902 ... possibly her grandmother wasn't even born then. LOL
I think this should be 2002
Thank you.

WorldCat agrees, updated! :)
Hi, I'm wondering if someone could update the authors for this collection of short stories 999: Twenty-nine Original Tales of Horror and Suspense. At the moment it only says "edited by Al Sarrantonio" stories by stephen king and neil gaiman.
But there are actually a number of stories written by Al Sarrantonio as well as other autgors.I'm hoping the other authors can be included. The full list of authors can be found at http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?2...
Thanks
Kathy G., GR does not put the number of discs on entries. Instead for audiobooks, the page area is used to show the length of the listening...hours (rounded up).Worldcat indicates 11 hours of listening. Added to GR entry.
I need something so I can calculate how much I've read in the progress box. They have used page count - like this one-Kathy G. wrote: "Could you add how many audio discs to this book's

Could someone please add an Audiobook or Audible Audio edition of Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Here is the Audible link: http://www.audible.com/pd/Bios-Memoir...There is currently an Audio CD edition listed, but nothing for digital downloads. Thanks!
Could a librarian please combine Pojken i randig pyjamas with Pojken i randig pyjamas? The paperback edition Pojken i randig pyjamas is missing some information: ISBN should be 9789174750140 Translator was Anna Strandberg (same as for the hardcover edition). This edition was published 2010.

Could a librarian please correct the FIRST PUBLISHED date for this book:Everything I Never Told You
I believe it should be June 2014
ALSO ... when you first type this book title into the search and the title pops up ... in grey is states 1 edition ... but if you click on that there are obviously many editions. Not sure how that might be addressed, or if it's a bug of some sort.
Thank you

Done. Original publication date is indeed June 2014, and the paperback was published in 2015.
I didn't get the "1", so maybe someone else changed that? Let me know
Thanks, Pia ... now it shows 31 editions, so maybe someone else DID correct that.

Page count updated to 360 (as per Amazon)
Unfortunately, we can't use data from Google Books to update records, only sources on this list: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2... and I'm unable to find the cover of your book on Amazon/AbeBooks/WorldCat/The British Library website (all of them just have placeholder book covers). If you can find the book cover on one of the "acceptable sites", we can definitely add it for you.
Hi, would someone mind modifying this entry? The series name should be in () not part of the title. ThanksFreedom, Ashuak Chronicles #3
Corrected title and added to series. It should be OK now, Meg.
Hello! Would someone be able to correct the title and page count of this book? The Turn of the Screw: AND The Aspern PapersHere is the link to the Amazon page for this Kindle edition: The Turn of the Screw
The ASIN and cover image match what is on the Amazon page, but as Amazon states, the title should simply be "The Turn of the Screw," and the page count should be 96 pages.
Thank you!
Is it acceptable to combine editions when the kindle edition and the print edition were published by same author but using a different name . . . Specifically,
Twisted Sister: Sisters of Sin with Twisted Sister
If you are able to do it, thanks in advance!

Maybe a question for the Librarian group? I don't know how to do this but I am very new.
It appears the Sisters of Sin is the series name and not a subtitle, also books written under different names have to be changed to the original name to be combined so this is what I did. She wrote the book originally under Natalie Roberts so that is where you can find it now.
Wonderful! Thanks Mary Beth (and Nicola)
This isn't SRC related, but do any of you guys know how to delete books on Listopias? I started a Listopia for novels that realistically depict science and scientists in fiction but someone has added nonfiction to it.
