You can't delete it because it's not combined with anything -- but, in any event, it does no good to delete it since it has an ISBN and will only return the next time GR does an Amazon ISBN import. It's correctly handled as NOT A BOOK (although it did get hit by that secondary-author bug that went around recently: Eric Carle shouldn't have still be listed as an author and I've removed him).

It can't be permanently deleted because it has an ISBN. It would just come back. I deleted and added it back (by searching for the ISBN) then changed the title and author to Not a Book.

GR won't let me get to the page with the one that needs to be deleted but it will be obvious to a super.
Needs a super: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...It's listed as a CD, but according to Amazon it's only available in DVD and VHS. The Schoolhouse Press web site doesn't give me a different impression.

There wasn't a listing for the DVD, which seems to fall under reference books which are valid for use on GR, so I updated the listing with the DVD information.
ETA: Or not! I'll bow to rivka's decision, then.
This book has no ISBN info - another page already exists for this book with info - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
Isla Fisher wrote two books, but here are featured four, which is impossible. The thing I was stunned about the most was that one book apparently has been published in 1919, but Isla was born in 1976... Well I deleted the two books, but it still appears in the list, maybe it takes some time to be deleted, I don't know, but please have a look and delete those two ("Ebony and Amber" and the book "Too Beautiful"). Or please do some research, I did and it definitely are NOT her books, and in fact: those titles do NOT EXIST on amazon.com... But maybe somebody finds more out??
As I see everybody posts links to the books, so I'll post you the link to Isla's goodreads profile...http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Sonja, only 2 books showing now - probably a caching problem that you still saw 4 after you deleted the other 2.
Death by the Book There is another edition of this book that I cannot find using the add book link. It is listed as published 2008 by St. Martin's Press.There is no ISBN associated with it and I think it is a duplicate. I separated it, but I could not delete it.
Actually, it's because you separated it that you were having a problem. When a book that is separated is deleted, all reviews are lost. So it's best to combine and then delete -- that way reviews automatically transfer over to the most popular edition.
I got this one.
I got this one.
Please delete this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84... It was added when the author name of the other version was erroneously listed as only Lesley Cowan, not Lesley Anne Cowan.

Sorry rivka, I'm just getting back on. I missed that though. I'll go back and check it out so I'll know for next time. Thanks a lot!
rivka, is there any way to find the ISBN for that book? It has to have one right? I know it's okay for it to be without but I like to add all the info I can when I can and I'm wondering for future reference. Thanks!
http://jezebel.com/5451058/magic-unde...It's probably the same ISBN as one of the other listings - see the story of the cover at the above link.
