Please delete this book! (pt. 8)
Not sure what to do about this:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96...
The ISBN is clearly the ISBN 13 of the paper edition, and a quick google search doesn't come up with an ebook version of this book. What to do?

Uggh. I would think that they would give a sense of satisfaction when zapping, but if there's lots...:(This needs a super too:

Gone. I guess combine is working now, for now.
This edition of Royal Diaries: Elizabeth 1 needs NABing (it's a movie based on the book), but if I understand process correctly it needs to be deleted first so its 30+ reviews can be merged into one of the actual book editions.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...

I combined it with the correct edition, but just realized I forgot to add the narrator to the correct edition..
Got it, Jessica, and I added the narrator and URL.
I don't think we need this one, we have one with the same books with a cover and ISBN, thanks to whoever gets it...http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...
I would like the below titles deleted as they are free reads that I don't think are appropriate on my dashboard:

Shermaine, I disagree. And anyone who downloads it will simply add it again anyway.

Why wouldn't free reads be appropriate? There are a lot of free books on GR.

As a general rule, we list all books which have been published in any way for the public to read. This includes short stories which have been released as stand-alone ebooks.(There have been cases where a short story was circulated as part of a private writing club and then a listing was created on GR; in at least one case a listing was taken down at the author's request because it wasn't published to the public. Those were different circumstances than this, though, as these ebooks have been publicly published.)
I think I found something to be deleted. The book The Six Pack Two has 2 editions, one with an ISBN and one without. That said, it looks like the editions are the same. They are both paperback, with the same cover, and amazon only shows one edition.
I read in the manual that merging the same edition only works on books that have been shelved less than 5 times. Each edition has been shelved more than that; however, I've read on this thread that supers can merge books with more. Thus, I bring this to you, oh Super-Librarians. Am I correct in thinking these editions are the same?

Yes you are correct - I deleted the duplicate addition.

Thank you Miss Melody. :)
Thank you Miss Melody. :)
This needs a super to deal with please: To many reviews to delete, and these do not appear to be books but interviews or perhaps fan writing http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4...
The link is not to a book - but rather to a topic discussion about GR author merging. Will you post again?

Hi - new librarian here - I combined different formats of a book With Friends Like These: A Novel; however, 2 compact disc editions (with 2 different ISBN's) With Friends Like These and With Friends Like These, are described as follows:Compact Disc, 0 pages
Published August 10th 2010 by Brilliance Audio (first published August 6th 2010)
I suspect one of these is in error. I combined the two compact disc "edition"s with the kindle and hardback editions; but otherwise, I left the two "compact disc" editions untouched. Is this something that needs to be resolved? Thanks!

Seems if they were difference CD editions then something would be different between the two -- different date, or different reader, or different publisher. I'll leave it up to you guys whether or not to alter or delete one of the two compact disc listings. It just seemed like one of the two listings had to be wrong, but, like I said, I'll leave the issue in your capable hands.

But sometimes, publishers release multiple identical editions of a book that differ only in ISBN. The "why" can vary greatly, but the fact is, they do it all the time.

Good guess, the product dimensions are different and it weighs more.

I learn something new every day :0) Thanks!
This one is to a book of word puzzles, added by a GR user, no ISBN.I cannot delete it because they've rated it, and I cannot message them about it since their profile is private.
Please delete:

Possibly check to see if they have any other 'fun' items like this they've also added...
Thanks!
Mod
i'm pretty sure this book/edition without ISBN: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...is the same as this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
can you delete the one without ISBN? thanks
Mod
Can someone check this one out?http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85...
It's supposed to be a Kindle edition but, instead of ASIN, it has ISBN. I googled the isbn but I couldn't find a valid match. It's probably bogus, but maybe someone knows of a valid reason for this.
Thanks.
Chichipio, I agree and have merged it with the existing Kindle edition.

A message may be good too, if someone has one. Especially since they spelled 50% of the authors wrong...
