Phair (sphair) Not sure what the problem is with these three versions of Tab Hunter book but somehow my review is attached to one with no cover (6764779) and showing no isbn. I'm the only entry on that record and I can't seem to switch editions. I should be on 978 1 56512 548 3, the trade PB edition. Do they need combining or a link fixed or just a bad record removed??

Problem #1: Three separate authors (a misspelling and a "last, first"). That leads to problem #2, which is that they couldn't be combined. And you can only transfer a rating/review to another edition when they ARE combined.

All fixed now.

(Looks like you were the one who created the "last, first" author, BTW. Please always enter authors as "first last", and only create new books if you have checked by ISBN that your book is not in the database.)

Phair (sphair) I just added a new edition (copy I own) The Pretty Horse-Breakers. There is no isbn nor LC#

Could you please combine it with the master record: The Pretty Horse-Breakers

Here is the cover for my added 1972 edition:

Rivka, Re message #53:
Sorry for my error. I still can't wrap my head around the logic of a first/last author entry as it's counter to all my training. I was also a relative Goodreads newbie at the time so hopefully will make fewer goofs in future, although increasingly I find old age to blame for the occasional lapse.

Sandra, authors appear last, first in many spots, but are always entered first last -- and you're not the only one who finds this confusing! :)

♥Xeni♥ (xeni) | 41 comments The two books found on here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

need to be combined. I've tried doing it 5 different ways by now but can't get it to work because (I think) of the author order info. Perhaps someone else can take a look at it and fix it for me please?

Thank you!


message 62: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31494 comments Done, Xeni.

The 1st Author listed must be the same on each edition to combine, and we use the order on the cover. There were actually 3 editions.

Koenraad (koenraadkelemen) | 6993 comments #65 done. Please enter ISBN13 in the correct field. When it is entered in the ISBN10-field it is truncated.
I corrected it for http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18....
