The book I linked in msg #95 still seems to be there. It seems like your "poof!" didn't take. :)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

That's because my 96 was in response to 93 & 94.

NOW yours is poofed. :D

Oops! I added a book for a friend, not realizing her publisher was about to do it. Would you erase this entry:

This could be the hardcover or the kindle. In any case a dupe.

Got them

[Persia]

Hi, I'd love it if you could delete this 2007 version

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

and merge it with the 2008 one:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64...

That first 2007 version is no longer in print. Thank you!

[Paula]

Hi Persia

We don't delete out of print editions as people have these on their shelves and like to have their actual edition

[Persia]

Hi Paula,

Then could you please set it up so that this out-of-print edition no longer pops up as the primary book? People keep putting it on their "shelves." It's just very frustrating, to have that book with that ISBN number pop up as the top/primary edition when it's outdated and been out-of-print for more than two years now.

Anything you could do would be appreciated.

[Lisa]

Persia, The way it works is that the edition that's shelved the most often shows up as the primary edition.

When the 2008 edition has been shelved by more than the 2007 edition, it will show up as the primary book.

In the meantime, I edited the description field of the 2007 edition to say that the 2007 edition is out of print but the 2008 edition is in print. I hope that helps.

Often members will shelve the edition that first shows up but they will buy/borrow and read any edition they can get, so I wouldn't worry too much about which edition is shelved the most often. It is the same book, correct?

[Persia]

Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate your help. And yes, it's the same book.

[Michelle J.]

Here's one that's a litho portfolio, not a book.

Not a booked it.

Credit due to Morningstar for finding these:

All the books by this author should be deleted as they are spam: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Same goes for this author:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Oddly, I can't delete them despite them having less than 5 reviews. It tells me only a super librarian can get them.

[MissJessie]

A possible zap condition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

[Melody]

MissJessie - I got yours. rivka will need to get the spam.

[vicki_girl]

Please delete this duplicate. Thanks. :)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Working on them now.

[vicki_girl]

Got another one:

Thank you.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

poof!

[Brandon]

Here's some more spam I found:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

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

I can't delete some of these despite it saying things can be deleted with fewer than 5 reviews. Anything with 1 review is undeletable to me, but some of these have no reviews or ratings, and I still can't delete them.

[vicki_girl]

Another duplicate.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

Also, the one I posted in msg#126 still needs to be zapped. Thank you. :)

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Any book that has been shelved by even a single user cannot be deleted (by non-supers) UNLESS it has been combined with another edition. This is a safety precaution to stop users losing data (which seemed to be happening due to careless librarians at one point).

[Brandon]

Makes sense. I'll continue to post what I find here then.

And thanks for the hard work!

[Lobstergirl]

Needs super.

zip!

[Addison]

My book seems to have two editions, one with a cover and one without. Can you merge them or get rid of the one without a cover? Thank you!

It has a Kindle edition and a Nook edition. Users like to be able to shelve the edition they own. I imported the cover from B&N for the Nook edition, though.

[Addison]

Thanx!

This "book" appears to not actually be a book, but a description/review of two "web stories" posted on the web, only...never in print or ebook form.

This is written by a 12 year old, posted in her "My Writing" section, but also listed as a published book. Should it be deleted?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...

[Melody]

Got 139

[Melody]

Got 140. 141 has two different publishers and two different years published

[Melody]

Got 142

[Melody]

143 the covers are slightly different so I will let them both stay.

[Melody]

144 is a goodread's author. I'll let someone on the staff decide what to do with her

[Beth]

Got another one...incorrect isbn...looks like it's unassigned. It was added by a goodreads user - maybe a typo in the #?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...

[Ruben]

Hi Melody, actually, the covers on 143 are the same but the duplicate edition have low quality and has an website watermark.
