Please delete this book! (pt. 7)
This book already exists with the author's initials done correctly- this one can go and so can the incorrect author listing for that matter.http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The book is a valid edition; it only needed the author name corrected. I combined it with the other edition:

Needs super:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...
It's showing a cover but it's the wrong cover, and it has a partial ISBN smooshed into place.
Thanks! This one too (author was spelled wrong, fixed, matches most popular edition:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46...

Got it.
Annnnd this on (but needs to be combined first! My computer is too slow for the Fern Michaels combine page:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...
Got it. But do you know which number in the series this one is? Some say 13 some say 8 and one says it's 14. I guess I could research it - but maybe you know?Never mind - I looked and am fixing the titles with wrong info.
The ISBN and ISBN 13 for this supposed book aren't listed in any library catalogue that I can find.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44...
In a case like this, where there are no details and no reader comments, is it permissible to delete the entry without checking with admin first? Thanks!
Well, for one thing, there's no point to deleting anything which has an ISBN and is present on one of our feeder sites, because it'll just come back in the second import.What can be done is to mark it not a book, but unless you have conclusive evidence that it isn't a book, it's better to err on the side of leaving it.
You could always post a link to it in the "Book Issues" thread and see if someone else has better luck tracking down a valid catalog record for it.
This needs a super to merge with the correct edition and deleted:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51...

This needs a super:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...
And so does this one (alternate title to the same book)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
I don't quite know how or what to make of this, but at worse, please delete.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29...
Weird. Google tells me it's the title of a Persian song, but doesn't seem to think it's a book. Deleted.
deleted.that book actually don't need a super to delete, for it only have one ratings.
you only need to combine it with the other edition and delete it. :)
you're most welcome, azia :)the key is to combine it first with the "legit" book and delete it afterward. i guess this procedure is to ensure that the ratings for the deleted book goes to the right one (hopefully :D).
