They cannot be deleted; they have valid ISBNs and will reimport from Amazon with the next search if they are deleted.

That's why they have both been marked "NOT A BOOK" instead.

I hadn't realized they couldn't be deleted. Thank you!

Célia | Estante de Livros (celiamar) | 20 comments Please delete this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...

It's a duplicate of an already added book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...

Thanks!

782: "book" and creator have been removed.

Tara | 9 comments Needs deleted:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

The isbn doesn't seem to match on any books site I tried.

That's probably because it hasn't been published yet. What makes you think it's an invalid edition?

Red Haircrow (redhaircrow) | 12 comments Someone created Barnes&Noble nookbook edition, ASIN 0011145838 (ISBN13: 2940011145834), for my book Katrdeshtr's Redemption, which was already in the database.

As with anyone other separate edition, I attempted to combine the editions and correct the wrong information which had been uploaded. Despite doing so, the "new edition" appeared as a separate entry. Please view on the author's page here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

The new edition with ASIN is no longer found in during searches which is good. Clicking on the entry takes you to the original edition, as it should be... but the old "empty" is still there. Is there a way to delete that "empty" edition?

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Please do NOT delete books with valid ISBNs, like that one. It's fairly useless to do so anyway -- the next relevant search via B&N will just reimport it. I combined that edition with the existing edition, and manually reset the cache on your author page (which is what you were seeing as an "empty" edition). It resets by itself every 24-48 hours.

Red Haircrow (redhaircrow) | 12 comments As I said, I HAD combined the editions, but thank you. Usually I simply correct the misinformation and combine the editions, as stated. Or simply wait for the reimport and do the same thing.

I've been a librarian going on a year now, I just hadn't come across that particular problem before.

Huh. It was acting like it had been deleted. Weird.

message 779: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl Are these two "editions" valid? They merely link to a website.

T.T. Kove (ttkove) | 4 comments This one also need to be deleted, as it does not exist in paperback anymore and there's an ebook version that is more accurate: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...


message 795: by Cait (last edited Mar 22, 2011 10:02AM) (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments T. T., we don't remove books when they go out of print. If a book was ever published, we list it forever.


message 796: by T.T. (new)

T.T. Kove (ttkove) | 4 comments Ah, alright.
I just don't like seeing really old books that you can't get anymore up with brand new ones. ::laugh::

message 800: by Sue (new)

Sue Bowling (sueannbowling) | 36 comments I've just added a lot of old, often out-of-print books simply because they are on my (physical) bookshelves and I'm trying to get these cataloged. I know many are from the 60's, and I've run across some from the 30's and 40's. I'd be pretty upset if they were deleted.
