Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Okay, now I feel bad about coming in with one solitary little edition, but: Delete this Kitchen God's Wife so it merges with its proper edition and then combine that back with the rest of the Kitchen God's Wives.

Ashley (ashleym) | 145 comments Please delete this one so reviews combine, then please add it back (0061703028) and "not a book" it :)

Also delete this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64... -it will recombine with the correct edition (ISBNs were duplicates, I had to delete it in the incorrect edition to get it to separate out), then please recombine the remaining edition with the rest of I Know This Much is True. Thanks!

This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments I got many of Melody's but there were a few that did not seem correct to me, so I didn't want to delete them. The Arabic titled ones can be very tricky, but a few that you list have different titles than each other as well as the one you specify to combine it to (I suspect that they may not all actually be Wuthering Heights, although it's obviously difficult for me to tell).

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Michael - This is my reasoning. Glad we have more than one person making these decisions.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23... is an empty entry - with nothing to indicate that it is a separate edition. Rather than simply delete it I thought it could be combined with an arabic edition of A thousand splendid suns. I chose http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20... the same goes for this - It does, however hav a cover - but the cover doesn't correspond with the arabic title that is entered.
I see what you mean about
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... and http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15.... Their titles don't match the edition of Wuthering Heights I said to combine with - These two listings were already combined with the main entry of Wuthering Heights - I saw they were empty editions and tried to find a match and obviously goofed. Perhaps it would be more correct to seperate them from that book and just delete one so that it combines with the other (they are both empty editions of whatever book they are)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74... and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60... are the same book and title. One just has a hyphen after it with something else added - maybe the author's name?

Anyway - that was my reasoning - however flawed it may be. :-)

Here is a less complicated one that should be deleted: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28... it will merge with correct edition, then please recombine with rest of The Devil Wears Prada

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32... please delete, then recombine the remaining edition with Daughter of the Game (different titles, same book)

Thanks!

Occasionally I've gotten some Arabic language ones, but I don't always feel comfortable doing those, and sometimes not even those in most languages other than English unless they're fairly obvious.

Ashley (ashleym) | 145 comments Ok, now this one I'm not sure about: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/81...
- is it just like a boxed set of two books, or is a 'shrinkwrap' considered "NOT A BOOK"?

If not a book, then it should be deleted and added back as such, it has over 900 ratings and has been combined in with The Other Boleyn Girl for a long time (and titled as such). I refreshed data from amazon to see if I could get the cover art and the title reverted back to its original (the change is in the change log, and it seems to me that it shouldn't have been changed to just The Other Boleyn Girl way back when). I think the bulk of the ratings are probably for that single book, so perhaps they should be moved to the most popular edition of that one either way?

Hope that makes sense, sorry if my wording is confusing!

This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments Got Ashley's long list and Jeanette's. Ashley, I agree with your assessment of the shrinkwrap. It definitely appears to be a case where everyone was rating just the one book rather than the pair.

I've also added it back in as NOT A BOOK. Shrinkwraps can be borderline cases when they include different books (as opposed to a shrinkwrap of x copies of a single book). I don't have an issue with NOT A BOOKing it (we need a simpler verb for this...NABing?) because the books within the shrinkwrap each have their own individual ISBN's so it's not as if people cannot read and rate them without any problems. Also, after purchasing, virtually no one would know what the ISBN of the shrinkwrap set was because it wouldn't actually be on the books, so unless they kept the sticker on the shrinkwrap...

Ashley (ashleym) | 145 comments Ah, that makes sense. I haven't run into a shrinkwrap before, so I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Thank you Michael!

JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments Should this book's

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...


authors be changed to Lewis Carroll and Lela Dowling? I also can't tell if it should be combined with Alice in Wonderland (that's where it's at right now) or Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass or should it be its own entry?

Melody, the 5th & 6th from the end of your first batch leads me to the groups page, not a book???
