is the duplicate of

Only the second one (9667246) should remain.

Please delete Death and the stillroom maid and Death at scargrave manor both by Robin PaigeNeither of these two books (as per the author's website) were ever published or, as far as I can tell, ever existed. The titles are similar to two titles in another series by a different author (Stephanie Barron's Jane Austen mysteries - Jane and the stillroom maid and Jane and the unpleasantness at Scargrave, respectively).
Please delete this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...It's a duplicate of this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...
(Needs super)
Thanks
Re 783 - People have shelved and rated - we generally don't delete in this caseMerged 784 - it helps if the two titles are separated and combine together ready for merging - means we merge in to the correct edition

Just a curiosity: how do you become a super?

I think in this case (783) the poster is right that they are under the wrong author. I would change the author, combine and delete. I'll wait for a second opinion though.

They're gone. Thank you rivka :)
this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78... and this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... are the exact same book the second one would need deleting maybe? Thanks
Reviews on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Saints-Sporting-Chance-Leslie-Charteris/dp/0891903445 indicate that Saint's Sporting Chance never existed. Example:I have never found a copy of this book either. "The Sporting Chance" is a short story found in "The Saint Around The World", so it is probably either a renaming of that collection or a mistake. I called the publisher, and they said that when the got enough orders they would pull the book from the Library of Congress and reprint it. Good luck! There is no such title at the Library of Congress.I tried to verify this book at LC and WorldCat with no success.

I tried a world-wide search for that book using several meta-search engines for locating rare books, and the only place it showed up was one reference on Amazon, which was where the original import came from. I realize that this is still circumstantial evidence, but it is awfully hard to prove a negative.
If I were to follow this up, how would you suggest I proceed?
Hi, I'm new to this group and I wasn't really sure where to post it but I thought maybe I should be here. I made a list for books from the TV show Supernatural, and someone added some random book that's about the supernatural genre and not the TV show, but I don't know how to get rid of it or if I even can. This is the list(sorry if the HTML is wrong, I'm not too familiar with it on this site) and the book I want removed is Hollowing Screams, the second book.
Since you are not a librarian, I don't think you can. I got it for you.
Thank you, vicki-girl! I wasn't sure if the list creator could or not.
