Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got the last 3, Paula! It looks like someone else got the first half. :)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I got the first & third only.

I got the 2nd one :)


message 657: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments \o/ Got 'em all!


message 659: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Paula, I got all except The Crush. I left The Crush because the cover it had, which looks legitimate, was not on any of the other editions of the book. Thanks.

jenjn79 | 564 comments That cover for The Crush looks like an alt. cover edition. I checked around and it looks like it that cover edition had the same ISBN as this book. That one was published by Warner. The one you posted, the green cover, looks to be from Grand Central Publishing...which took over Warner (or Warner switched to that name...not sure how it went, just that it did). GPC reissued a lot of books under their previous ISBNs but with new covers.

I'll add some more info to the edition and a note on the ISBN.

And just a note...if a blank ISBN edition has a cover, be careful about deleting it. A lot of those are alt. cover editions.

Very good point!


message 662: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Thanks Isis. That's why I didn't delete it, but I appreciate you doing further research and adding useful notes.

jenjn79 | 564 comments No problem. I'd actually come across the Warner/GPC-same ISBN/different cover issue before on a couple books of mine.

re: blank ISBNs & covers...I knew you guys knew not to delete them by default, but I don't think a lot of others know to compare covers first. So I wanted to mention it.

...I have to wonder, though, about people who take the time to create a new edition PLUS upload a cover, but don't add a single other piece of information.

I'm perplexed by that as well.

They want their cover! But the title, author, and cover are all they care about.


message 666: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Apparently.

My obsessive/compulsive organizational streak finds that absolutely abhorrent.

:-D Me too.

I tend to agree. But I know some people (some of whom are members here) who feel this way. When I notice, I add info to their books like that. ;)


message 671: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Paula, I got the first 5. Someone else got the 6th.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Thanks


message 674: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments I guess somebody got it JG.


message 675: by jenjn79 (new)

jenjn79 | 564 comments JG: deleted :)

JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63...

Thanks!

Also, this one needs to be deleted and re-combined.


message 677: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments JG, I got them.


JG (Introverted Reader) | 487 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41...

Needs to be deleted and re-combined with The Missing (alternate titles in the US and UK)


message 679: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Got it, JG.


message 680: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Armistead Newman (technomom) | 159 comments Would someone please delete this book? It isn't actually a book, but was added manually. Because it has one review and there's nothing for me to combine it with, I can't delete it.

Thanks!


message 681: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Cyn, It is gone.


Célia | Estante de Livros (celiamar) | 20 comments The person who added this book asked me if I could ask someone to delete it, because it is already in the system here (she didn't noticed). When we try to delete it, it requires a super-librarian, although it has no reviews (weird). Some help would be good.
Thanks!

The system has been objecting to deleting books not combined with something else if they have even one review. I combined the two and deleted the extra one.

Personally, I approve of this! It seems much safer.


message 686: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Agreed, actually.


message 687: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Armistead Newman (technomom) | 159 comments And another magazine: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

Thanks!

Zap!

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
The same user entered a LOT of magazines. With descriptions like box number and storage location.

>_<


message 690: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Armistead Newman (technomom) | 159 comments Yeah - I keep running across them. Urg.

The bright side? She hasn't been active this year.


message 691: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Yeah. I sent her an email anyway. Looks like she's active in spurts.

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments can someone delete please?

Combined and deleted.


message 694: by Eva-Marie (new)

Eva-Marie Nevarez (evamarie3578) | 753 comments Thanks rivka- I noticed the other book by that title and was in the middle of doing it when I got kicked off. I hate my computer. LOL


message 696: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got them, Paula.

No worries, Eva. :)


message 697: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments Please delete this book:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26...

It's a manual entry of an incorrect title (even spells the main character's name wrong.) After doing research, it is actually Mrs. Pollifax and the Second Thief, so have combined and now just need the incorrect title deleted.

Thanks!
