Please delete this book! (pt. 7)
Books show up based on popularity, so as readers shelve her new book, that book will be more prominent. We allow pre-publication records in the database because people want to mark them as to-read (especially in cases like this, when they're the sequel to a published book).

I knew about the book a while back cos i do take care of the official fan club of the book as well as the author. She was surprised to see it added so soon. Thats all. Again, Sorry for the inconvenience and Thanks for the immediate response :)
No problem! It's always good to ask and get an explanation. :)

First one looks like an alternate cover. Things are slow so I can't get to them all but don't see that cover elsewhere. Second one someone bothered to put in a publisher, a publisher that published many years ago so it may be pre-ISBN.
If another librarian thinks they should go, by all means combine/delete.
Lobstergirl & Lisa, first one can't be an alternate cover, I just counted 5 other books with that cover, some published this year, both pb & hb, some published 2003. So I'll separate it out and combine/delete that one then recombine.
Well that was the plan, however, 18 people have added that version so I'll post it again:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75...
Can a super please delete above and then recombine the hb version to the other 128 versions of "mockingbird killers". :)

Combined the listing of the one published by Popular Library with the correct edition - deleted - recombined.

Lobstergirl, I separated that out so that it merged with the most popular edition to share the cover art.
Apparently only a super-librarian can delete this one, even though it has no reviews:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...
(The actual book is "Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World" -- someone entered this as "Half-boiled...." without any other info.)
Brenda, got it.David, got it: the books needed to be combined before they could be merged.

This one has a publisher and date listed that is unique in the listings: 2005 by Harcourt, Inc.
Taliswoman Book 3 has never been written/published. I found one site that said the title was supposed to be The Red Swan, but I do not have any confirmation of this.Searching by ISBN does not help.
should this book deleted or combiened with (The Alchemist) ? it has no data at allhttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...

Rasha, you can combine and delete. Its obviously nothing.
ThanksI combiened it with the rest but it is not in my power to delet it , it has to be done by a super librarian .
Rasha, I deleted both of them
Hi guys,Can a superlibrarian please delete this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74...
It's not actually a book; rather, it's just a review of the first three Dean Koontz Odd Thomas novels. There are more than three now (and a page for each individual book), so it's kind kind of redundant, plus there's no omnibus that exists which contains just these three novels. Thanks!

Kruistocht in spijkerbroekCould someone delete this book? It doesn't have the right ISBN and the book with the right ISBN already exists --> (Kruistocht in spijkerbroek)
Thanks!
Duplicate of ISBN 9780380709137, which is already in the system and combined:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...
This one seems to have a unique cover - I don't think it should be deleted.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...Please delete this empty edition and recombine with the others. It is currently combined with a version with the same cover.
Can a super please combine 1862070059 and 1862071004 with 1590170520? Thanks!
I deleted the author profile linked to 1862071004, so can you just combine 1862070059 with 1590170520? Thank you
Heather wrote: "I deleted the author profile linked to 1862071004, so can you just combine 1862070059 with 1590170520? Thank you"I combine them. The primary author (or in this case, editor) just needed to be the same--it didn't need a super.

The book was added by a Goodreads user, as opposed to having been imported through Amazon or Barnes & Noble, so there must be some general knowledge that the book has been planned for.
I'm not sure what you mean by "showing up over her book that was published just 2 days ago". The books on the author page are in order of popularity, and the published book is listed first.
Either way, I'm not a super librarian, so I must leave this to someone else.
