Hello - can this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... be deleted or merged with the other listing for the same book?I don't know what I did wrong when I first listed it. I apologize! Thank you - LK

It was listed twice, once with the cover and once without. I'm not sure what I did wrong when I listed it in the first place.
L.K. wrote: "It was listed twice, once with the cover and once without. I'm not sure what I did wrong when I listed it in the first place."It's listed twice because it's been published in two editions: Kindle and ebook. With the editions combined, you'll only see one book, but you'll see a record for each edition of that book:
http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...
It can sometimes take a little while for the front page of your author profile to catch up after editions are combined, so you'll sometimes see phantom duplicates there -- if you click through, you'll see that it's the combined book (check the "other editions" box in the corner).
This book isn't under contract yet, so possibly delete it? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
Thank you!
Thank you!
Its on the authors website as work in progress and there is already a note to that effect. If we delete some one else will only add it again. There are lots of place holders on the system
Need a super please:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79...

I think this needs to be deleted:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
I believe it's the same as:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
I added the cd cover to the correct listing.
I suspect this one needs to be deleted - Goodreads is the only place I can find a record of this ISBN.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...
I think it is a duplicate of this edition.

Hi - There are two copies of my book
The correct one is http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
The extra one is http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
Could someone combine or delete them please (or failing that, give me idiot-proof instructions as to how I should do it)?
Many thanks for your help:
JAC
JAC, the directions for merging an incorrectly entered edition into its proper record are here:http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/35...
I've taken care of this one for you, though!
This can be deleted I think - someone entered a invalid ISBN. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
I think this is another than can go. It's the primary of the two listed: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...
With so little information on the edition, I think this can also be deleted:The Woman Who Rides Like a Man
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/80...http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
If a super-librarian could zap these two (they're different solicitations for the same book, which was ultimately never published and all orders were cancelled), please?
The publisher junked the planned 500+ page black and white collections in favor of much smaller, full color collections; the first of those is now published (and there are more on the schedule) so these can definitely be junked. Thanks!
Greg, it's generally our policy to leave records of unpublished books listed so that people who have heard of them can come here and find verified information about their publication. I think that the description on the book is clear about the situation.
I need a super librarian here:This book, Il cimitero di Praga by U. Eco, has a duplicate entry:
1) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96...
2) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...
The correct one is no. 1: it's the original Italian edition (Bompiani is an Italian publishing house), so it's clearly wrong to put the title in English as in no. 2, the title itself is wrong (it's "The Prague Cemetery" in English; I suspect the entry has been made before the book was actually translated and published in US).
I try to add the ISBN code 8845266222 to no. 1, but I can't because it's already being used by no. 2: I can't delete no. 2 to merge all the reviews in no. 1 because it has too many reviews. Please someone help me, keep no. 1 with ISBN 10 and ISBN 13 and merge the reviews.
Thank you!
