Please delete this book! (pt. 10)
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 I have unpublished it with Amazon, and would like it removed from Goodreads.

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

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.

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.

are short stories from this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79... anthology. Those short stories has never been (so far) released as a stand-alone ebook.
Please delete them. Thank you.

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!

Added with ISBN13 in ISBN10 slot

Correct entry.

into this edition
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

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.

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!

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.
Could a superlibrarian recombine this edition of "Snow crash":

with this one:

Merged it with a Punto de Lectura published edition

Thanks, Paula. :)
I have not found another legit editions yet.
I will combine them when found.

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"
