message 101: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments Well that was weird - it said it was a floor display - but when I added it back it came back as a regular book. So I just combined it with the other editions.

ditto

Weird things are happening with reimport. I just deleted after merging to combine a book (display) and it said the ISBN did not exist. I checked my typing, and also searched the title. Nothing. Go figure.


message 103: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments That one needs to be separated from the group of not a books first


message 104: by Melody (new)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments OK - got it. And that one did the same thing! Came back without any reference to being the floor display.

Jessica | 963 comments Got it Renske

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Looks like it was just some bad B&N data. It should look okay now.


message 109: by MissJessie (new)

MissJessie | 866 comments thanks.


message 110: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got it.

Shriya (gautamshriya) | 13 comments Thanks a million! :D

ambyr | 33 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34...

This "edition" lacks cover, ISBN, or any other details except year of publication--and there are three editions with ISBNs that share that year of publication. Don't see any reason to keep this edition around.

(side note, the top reviewer pretty obviously actually meant to review http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40... instead, but I guess there's no good way to move it over.)

Got that one.

You could always message that user, if you want.


message 115: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Rachel, that book shouldn't be deleted, it has a valid ISBN. Although I don't think the pub date is 1925, fixing that.

Lobstergirl The Jilting of Granny Weatherall
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

is a short story in a larger collection
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...

Needs super.


message 117: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 12 comments yeah thats why i thought it was a little odd so i wasnt sure thanks for combining it :)

Got 122.


message 119: by Vasha7 (new)

Vasha7 | 84 comments Superlibrarian, please merge The Ten O'Clock People with Nightmares and Dreamscapes and delete it (it's a story in the N&D collection but not published separately).


message 121: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Got 126 and 127. Can't do 125, my computer crashes when I try to combine King.


message 122: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31493 comments Sorry, L.M. if they have ever been available, they stay.

Think of this site as a Library and not a book store. When the novels have been reworked please feel free to put that in the description so that people know.

As a suggestion, please consider using a new title. Another author recently had a lot of trouble because he kept the same title but didn't want them combined and librarians kept combining them. Just a thought ;)


message 123: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got 125.


message 124: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments I'm thinking this should go, just need a second opinion.

message 125: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Does anyone know how ebooks attached to a book work? This edition needs deleting, but it has an ebook for download attached to it. I think it's the same for the other edition I want to merge it to, but I'm not sure if I'll be deleting the download

message 126: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments Not sure what to do with this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67...
As far as I can see there are no omnibuses or box sets with these 3 titles. I think this was added by an user only to make a combined review.

That's exactly what happened. Gone.


message 128: by the_cat (new)

the_cat | 388 comments Something similar but it comes from some seller at Amazon:

Thanks

message 129: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Got 136.


message 130: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments WHAT?!?! Post 132 has an entry that has no real data, only one rating, no reviews, and I can't delete it?

Yeah it can go Jessica.
I couldn't find anything about it from anywhere.


message 131: by Zeljka (new)

Zeljka (ztook) | 57 comments Please,
Combine following two books in one:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/72...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66...
These two books are the same one (and the only one) edition, but on one is ISBN-10 and on another ISBN-13. I would keep the one with photo, as it has full description too.
Thanks!


message 132: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments 139. Done


message 133: by [deleted user] (new)

ASIN left-over, already combined :)

You can't delete it because since it has been added and isn't combined wiith anything else. Only supers can delete those.


message 135: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got 141. Looks like someone else got 132.

I left 133. I'm a little uncertain on ebooks myself...


message 136: by MissJessie (new)

MissJessie | 866 comments needs merge, delete, etc.

message 137: by Vasha7 (new)

Vasha7 | 84 comments This is a bit of a puzzle -- Amazon's databases list the format as audio cassette, but have no indication of length or narrator; give the publisher as Viking, which doesn't do audio, and the date as 1991, when Viking published a hardcover edition of Four Past Midnight; and has the title and blurb of Signet's 2004 movie tie-in edition of Four Past Midnight. It's listed as unavailable on Amazon and not in Worldcat. I strongly suspect that it's a nonexistent screwup. If you agree, could you please shift the 4 people who added it to another edition and NAB this one?

Re 144: No, it has a unique cover.


message 139: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Re 145: It seems more likely to me that the format or publisher are incorrect than that the edition doesn't exist.


message 140: by Vasha7 (new)

Vasha7 | 84 comments Re 147: Further points in favor of nonexistence -- weird ISBN, not offered for sale on any used book site.


message 141: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Many limited-printing books from 20 years ago meet both of those criteria.


message 142: by Natasa (last edited Aug 28, 2011 09:36AM) (new)

Natasa (natasalikes) | 146 comments Could a super librarian delete this book please?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88...

The publisher only has 2 print editions which are already listed, so this is a duplicate of the default edition.


message 143: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31493 comments Please delete ISBNless edition for both paperback & eformat (I think created by author). Both versions already created properly.

Got 150, 151.


message 145: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31493 comments Thanks Rivka ;)


message 146: by Natasa (new)

Natasa (natasalikes) | 146 comments Thank you Rivka! :)

Can this edition be deleted as well?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

It doesn't have any ISBN and the publisher's website lists only one hardcover edition, so this is most likely an accidental duplicate.

zap!


message 148: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (wcvworg) | 11 comments Found this coverless, detail-less, ISBN-less entry missing his middle initial. I've add the initial and combined the edition, but it needs a super because 252 people have reviewed it.

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


message 149: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Nah only 15 (I would have been surprised if it were 252). Got it!

Ha! I must have been seeing "all editions" after I merged it. :P
