Fuzzy Sapiens is a duplicate of either Fuzzy Sapiens The Other Human Race orFuzzy Sapiens. ACE did not publish this book until 1976, but it was copyrighted in 1964.
There are notes on these two by the author asking them to be deleted as they're no longer available (not entirely sure that is a valid reason for deleting them but since the author is asking I thought I'd bring it up).http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65...
At the very least someone who knows the rules better than me could explain to the author why they're not being deleted.

GR is a database...if a book has ever been for sale, it can and should be listed here...as people may already have it, or may pick up a copy at a second hand store, yard sale, or may get it from another person. We just had someone get assistance with adding a copy of Wuthering Heights from 1923.
That's what I figured. I've been adding some old Biggles books so I knew that made no sense, but the author is adding notes to them asking someone to please get rid of them so I wondered if someone should maybe explain that to her.
Please delete this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71... . It's a placeholder for this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85... .

Yes, it is a left over from an amazon import problemI have merged with closest match
Should this be deleted? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... At the author's website it states that the series was a trilogy it does not state anything about a 4th book to the series http://www.loislowry.com/index.php?op...

It seems there's been some discussion on the forums about this: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...
Edit: With the deletion of the book, the posting above was deleted too it seems. It had a link to a blog post that talked about a 4th book in the series, but I hadn't copied the link to the blog yet, and can't now as the post is gone.

It should, indeed. Looks like a hopelessly optimistic reader added it, hoping. But you are correct...according to her website, it is a trilogy, and it's complete:
"With the 2004 publication of MESSENGER, the trilogy that begins with THE GIVER is complete. Jonas and Kira are grown, and have met, at last. Of course every good book leaves one wondering, and the conclusion of the trilogy will, as well."
I think this needs to be separated and NABbed, or deleted/reimported/nabbed, super needed.http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
Got it LG - Merged, re imported and nabbed
Can this one be deleted please: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66... no isbn but a link to an internet scanlation made by fans.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... is a placeholder for http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12... — the true edition.Yes, that placeholder does has an ISBN, but it's an ISBN13 of the true edition that has been wrongfully placed in the placeholder's ISBN10 box — in short, a false ISBN.
