Kate Bowyer (kate_bowyer) | 13 comments Hello & thanks in advance for any help,

I had my book Isolation up working with a link to Amazon/kindle, but last night I tried to link it up with Barnes and Noble so that link will show on my book page as a place to buy it as well (and not just Amazon).

Now I have too many copies and sometimes the book pages with the B&N link go to B&N and sometimes an error comes up. My book is up on B&N and has been for a couple of weeks.


I'd like to keep my first book page (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...) because it shows the people who have marked it 'to read', but I'd also like to have a link to B&N on it(http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/isola...) if possible.


The following pages would need to be combined with the one above: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
and http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...


Then to make one more request I need this book deleted all together (it has my old title & no cover image): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Thanks again!
Kate

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The version you want linked to Barnes and Nobel is a Kindle edition which generally only available at Amazon.

Re the deletion we do not generally delete books - especially if they have ISBN's. Has this version ever been given out as an ARC or been sold as people like the correct ISBN's on the their shelves

If not we could NOT A BOOK it since it has an ISBN it will only re import if someone searches for it

Hi Paula, there are no ISBN's for my books. I changed the title a little and I don't know where that book page came from (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...) It doesn't have a cover and just showed up over the last couple days and there is no reason to have a link to it. So if it is possible I'd like to have it deleted (or taken off my page).

I'm sorry that I'm a little slow with understanding how to import my book from B&N. I think it was pure luck I got my book imported from Amazon (don't know how I did it). If you could tell me how to get a link on to my Goodreads page to my B&N book page I'd be very grateful.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The book you link to is imported from Barnes and Nobel

This number is B&N ISBN remove the 294 2940013123687

Books import if someone does a search for the book using ISBN - it will pull from Amazon / Barnes and Noble or books can be manually added by users.

I will see if I can find the B&N image

I deleted the no ISBN, no ASIN version. I also edited the B&N edition so the B&N link should work properly now.

Kate Bowyer (kate_bowyer) | 13 comments Thanks Paula for explaining that stuff it's becoming a little clearer now. I know if I had an ISBN it would have been easier.

rivka-I can't thank you enough for doing all of that work!!!
