Got it.


message 953: by [deleted user] (new)

This is a link to a Kindle book I had published on Amazon "The Nature of God." I have unpublished it with Amazon, and would like it removed from Goodreads.

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

The paperback of this book is completely fine, but the Kindle edition isn't available any more. I'm hoping to have it distributed to Amazon via Smashwords eventually (when they get that working), but then it will have its own ISBN, so would be different on Amazon.

Thanks, Mona

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Since no one has shelved the edition or reviewed it we can remove (we do not remove books that have ratings or reviews). If it is no longer on Amazon then is should not auto import on search.

It is linked to a giveaway at the moment, and if we delete the edition it may delete the give away are you ok with this?

No, please don't delete the Kindle edition if it will delete the give away. That would be awful. I didn't realise it would affect the give away. Please leave it as is.

Besides, it is still on Amazon, but it says "Not currently available." For some reason the listing is still there - I guess because people have bought it in the past.

Thanks, Mona

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments OK, I ll leave it - I don't know what will happen to the give away if we delete - rivka may

If any copies sold at all, there's a good chance it will be added back here, anyway, by a user that purchased it.

That's good to know. My main concern was people clicking on "Get a copy" and finding it says unavailable on the Amazon page. It is newly available on Smashwords, and will hopefully be available in other places soon, so hopefully I can add a valid copy to Goodreads later.

Why not add a note at the top of the description for this version only that says something like "Kindle version not currently available at Amazon. However, it can be found at Smashwords."

You'll just have to remember to remove it when it becomes available there, which shouldn't be too hard as the record will need editing to add the ISBN.

Actually, even without any current reviews, we don't delete books/editions they were published, if if an edition is now out of print.

Thanks, Peter. I did as you suggested. A much better idea than deletion!

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments That one has a different publisher and date entered. I think it should stay.


message 973: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments They were both Punto de Lectura ::shrug::


message 974: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments The one I saw was Suma. Published 2002.


message 975: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments I see another pinto de lecture. Don't have time now to separate and merge. Maybe someone else can


message 976: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments Same. Suma de Letras is the Argentina's version of Punto de Lectura. I cant find a 1993 edition by Punto de Lectura of this book. I think the first edition was by Alfaguara and it would be http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... only that the isbn has been reused with later prints and covers.
Nm really. The edition can stay ::shrug:: I only noticed cause it had some other book's ISBN.

I see a bunch of them by Punto de Lectura, but all different dates. You could be right, and the date is wrong, but I'm not sure enough to delete it...looks like they reprint every couple of years.

Could be one of the dreaded reused isbn's...I hate that.

Antianti | 5 comments Hi!
Can a super librarian merge the following books?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
(This is the one to be deleted, it has 11 reviews and no ISBN)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
(This one should be kept: 20 reviews and ISBN)
Thank you!

James (james_k_bowers) | 151 comments Kindle edition of Keeping Faith: A Father-Son Story about Love and the U.S. Marine Corps doesn't appear to exist at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786... -- Hardcover and paperback versions are listed though.

Delete the Kindle edition?

A google search for B0038KY2DU brings me to the Amazon page where it USED to be, but when you click the link for the book, it's not found. It appears that it used to be available as a Kindle book, just not any more. I would leave it.


message 983: by [deleted user] (new)

Could a superlibrarian recombine this edition of "Snow crash":
http://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/50...
(without Isbn)
with this one:

I will combine them when found.


message 999: by Violetta (new)

Violetta | 477 comments I cannot find any info on this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

It has no ISBN and the Internet turns up nothing. My attempt to delete got me a big ol' pink slip: "Only super-librarians can delete books with so many reviews"
