The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy has one wrong listing (Listed as Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe by ADDAMS). I tried to edit the book (retyped name, then but could not get the edits to stick. It would not automatically merge the two when I used the same ISBNs.
The "wrong" title has too many reviews to allow me to delete it....
"click 'delete this book' at the bottom. Note that this only works for books with less than 15 member reviews."
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
It would really help if you posted the link to the specific book. There are a lot of versions to plow through with little way of knowing which is which without going through them one by one.
Looks like it has been deleted--I cannot find it now. Thanks for the fix-!I'll remember the tip about posting the link. Thanks.
Hi,My book "Tall Poppies" is listed by the incorrect title. Here is the link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32... . The correct title is Tall Poppies (Tall Poppy Diaries, Book One) . Thanks so much for correcting this for me.
Also, this isn't a biggie, but the publication date was actually 05-05-2008.
Thanks much!

Jacquelyn, I fixed the title and the release date :)I also cleaned up the book description since it had a bunch of HTML not supported by GR.
Jacorton, you may also be interested in the author program: you can link your Goodreads account to the author profile for Jacquelyn Massey Orton and have control over your own books, including things like fixing the title. (You don't have to, of course -- we librarians are happy to fix these things!)
Thanks so much for your help.Jacquelyn
Thanks, Cait. I'll do that!Jacquelyn
Hi,
I found that there is a book with the wrong title.
The cover is correct though it is black and white, the book data is correct. It is for the UK version of the book. The wrong title has been attached.
The correct book is:
The Healthy Dead, by Steve Erikson, published by PS publishing, 8/2004, it is from the UK. It is a trade paper Novella.
The ISBN is: 1-904619-08-8
There is also a US version, but don't know if its on GR or not, or correct or not. I don't have this version.
The title is The Bonehunters Malazan Book of Fallen 6, by Steve Erikson. This is real book, and has an entry (probably several: UK, HC, PB). My version (US PB) is 978-0-7653-4883-8.
They are by the same author and in the same series. Somehow the wrong title has been applied.
The book page that shows the wrong combination.

The color version of the Healthy Dead Cover:

If someone could put the correct title on The Healthy Dead, and add the color cover. I will then re-add the book to my library. I deleted it by mistake, when I thought I had 2 Bonehunters.
Thank You,

I fixed the title and the cover and combined it with other editions of The Healthy Dead.
I entered the info for a manual edition for (isbn13: 9788845246357). When I tried to identify the setting, it comes up on the website as "Southern." I had tried to indicate Southern Italy (Otranto, Puglia). If only a short entry fits, could someone change it to just "Italy"?thanks!

Jennifer, I thought the whole thing would fit but it didn't seem to and the fields look different than they did just recently. I changed it to Italy. That took.Edit: By the way, you could have changed it too. If you manually enter a book you can make all edits.
The hardcover edition of To Conquer Hell: The Meuse-Argonne, 1918 by Edward G. Lengel (ISBN 0805079319) is appearing as untitled on the Meuse-Argonne.
