Please delete this book! (pt. 8)

[Jessica]

This one too (matches most popular edition)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Got all three.

[Jessica]

Thanks :)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Got it.

[Jessica]

This should be deleted:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91...

They have the title as "Geisha Girls," with the author as Lisa See, but I'm pretty sure they meant "Shanghai Girls."

[Lisa]

Got it. I agree.

[Michael]

I think this should be deleted by a super: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88...
No ISBN or description and no fifth book in the Montmorency series mentioned on the author's website: http://www.eleanorupdale.com/

Wishful thinking from an avid fan, methinks!

[rivka, Former Moderator]

I would leave it.

Edit: Googling tells me that the author plans a fifth but publication timeline is unclear.

[Michael]

Why, Rivka? The author says on her website that she has no immediate plans for another Montmorency book

[rivka, Former Moderator]

See my edit.

*shrug* I don't feel strongly about it, but you know they'll just recreate it if you delete it, anyway.

[Michael]

Bows to superior wisdom ;-D

Wow, lotta folks want that one! Merged.

Placeholder, please delete:

[rivka, Former Moderator]

zing!

[Jessica]

As much as this user-added description cheered me up, this needs to be merged and deleted:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95...

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Got it. New user -- I will message him.

[Jessica]

Thanks rivka!

[Jessica]

Ok got a serial adder:

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

[Jessica]

On second look, they've got a lot of data in some of the entries (of course, not the first one I looked at). Tread carefully!

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Working on them.

[Jessica]

This needs a super (they had two Ls in the author's name)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

[Jessica]

And this one needs a super (user was adding ISBN 10s in the 13 slot, this one is already combined with the correct edition, just needs to be deleted and recombined, I'm working on some of the others)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/74...

[Melody]

got both of those, Jessica.

[Jessica]

Thanks Melody!

[Jessica]

Anyone have an idea what to do with this? The author has a similarly titled book called "The Americans"
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

[rivka, Former Moderator]

I can't see any evidence that it's anything but the other book. I'd go ahead and merge them.

[vicki_girl]

Please delete the following. They are each a duplicate of a version with an ISBN.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34...

Thanks.

[Lisa]

vicki, Got both.

[Sandra]

This is the short story in the anthology, it is already combined, please delete -

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...

[Melody]

got it

[Sandra]

Thanks Melody :)

[MissJessie]

Needs a super-delete please

[Lisa]

Got the last 2, but that 2nd one was from the edit page. It turned out fine, but please provide links to the book's page, not the edit page. Thanks!

[Paula]

Needs a super please:

[Melody]

Someone else got the first one - I got the others.

[Eva-Marie]

I combined this with the right listing but can't delete:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/86...

Thanks!

[Eva-Marie]

Here's another and I may have a one or two more in a sec. Going to try them now.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84...

[Elly]

This edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68... should be deleted, and reviews/stars folded into this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88...
which is the most popular edition in the same langague (Dutch). I do not know how to do this myself.

[Cait]

Got it. (The way to specific onto which edition the reviews should be shifted it to separate those two together, delete the incorrect one, and recombine the correct edition. In this case it would have needed a super anyway, though.)

[Cait]

♥Eva♥, got your two.

[Jessica]

These two need supers:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...

[Lisa]

They're gone.

[Jessica]

Thanks Lisa :)

[Cindi]

What happens when 2 books are listed as one? In this instance, Ravenous is said to be another edition of Bestial but it isn't. They are 2 separate books.
What do we do?

[willaful]

If you use the "combine" button on the book page, there will also be an option to "separate" on the combine page.

[Cindi]

Thanks willaful!

[Elly]

Another need for a super within the Harry Mulisch books:
this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43... is a duplicate. I already separated it out together with the edition the reviews should go to. If a super can delete it, I can combine it again (with the discovery of heaven, btw).

I cannot promise this is the last: I am checking out all the Mulisch books, in his remembrance. He died last Saturday, of cancer.

Got it, Elly. Sad news about the author!

[Elly]

And again an almost empty edition http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/83...
, this time with the cover, so it was easier to find the correct one to combine with. Again they are both already separated, and can be combined again with the discovery of heaven.
