The two editions appear to have different (and valid) ISBNs.


message 703: by Elle (new)

Elle Pepper (ellepepper) | 5 comments I am the Author Elle Pepper, and had both of these books taken out of print because they were part of a scam I got hit by. Poorly edited and had my name slapped on it, not what I was promised at all. Please remove these two. I know you don't remove out of print books as a rule but these two were part of a scam. They do not reflect the author's writing. And, I know for a fact that not a single copy was sold because they were in print for two hours.

The other Book, Flag of Bones, can stay, it is my published book.

I'm so sorry to hear about the situation. Unfortunately, it looks like there are copies currently available for purchase from both Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Since the books are already out there, we can't remove the book records.


message 705: by Elle (new)

Elle Pepper (ellepepper) | 5 comments No if you look it says 'currently unavailable" I took them out of print a year ago. You can order them but they never restock.

Ok, thank you for the attempt. I mean I know that friends have TRIED to order them but they do not ever restock because the publisher stopped making them.

Is there a way to at least unlink them from my profile, I mean they were a scam and are not really my writing.

James (realjimbob) | 21 comments Can the book You Only Live Twice be deleted please? It's a duplicate, without any ISBNs, for the second or third printing, of You Only Live Twice.

It shouldn't be deleted; at best, the two editions could be merged. Both have ratings, and the ratings should be kept with the appropriate edition.

It ..."


Apologies, I guess I meant merged together (with the one with the ISBNs surviving). As a non-superlibrarian though, I can't do either...

But you can separate out just those two, please, which would make the deletion/merge simpler.

James (realjimbob) | 21 comments rivka wrote: "But you can separate out just those two, please, which would make the deletion/merge simpler."

Fair point, I have done so. Both those books are now separated from the main book and combined together, if somebody could merge them by removing the You Only Live Twice edition, I'll combine it back into the main book again.

Thanks! Merged.

And recombined as well. Many thanks.


message 713: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31418 comments Please merge info less edition

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

and then combine with

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85...

Thanks


message 714: by James (new)

James (realjimbob) | 21 comments Hi again, can somebody please delete/merge the edition The Gun Seller - which is a duplicated later printing of the edition The Gun Seller.

I've separated them out into their own book. Once the merge is completed, I'll combine the resulting edition back into the main book.


message 715: by Tom (new)

Tom | 73 comments Please merge. ISBN off by one digit and only one edition published.

message 716: by Erin (new)

Erin (tangential1) | 10 comments I'm pretty sure this is not a real book and should be deleted: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92...

All the ratings/reviews should be pointed to the series that starts with this book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... But I'm not sure how to go about doing that.


message 717: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments re 737: Merged and recombined

re 738: It looks like one of those used to be an alternate cover edition. Then onix random house imported the "alternate cover" as the cover for the edition that has the ISBN, making them the same. Not sure how to handle this one.

re 739: Merged

re 740: Those items are considered books. They are Wikipedia articles that have been turned into downloadable ebooks. Some users, unfortunately shelve them thinking that it is the actual book, not realizing it is an article about the book. I don't think we delete those, because some users might have actually meant to shelve the article. :S

If you can find the cover not currently represented, you can replace the alternate edition's with it.

Looks like someone beat me to it. I have recombined them now.

Sandra | 31418 comments Thanks vicki_girl :)


message 721: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl I pseudo-rescued this book, which was unknown, but there doesn't seem to be any way to determine the other relevant details. I'm guessing it gets deleted? Super needed.

They need to be combined, not deleted. Working on it.

message 730: by Catherine (new)

Catherine (catherine_ariah) | 19 comments I believe http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96... is a duplicate of http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61... (both alternate cover editions, one set up properly, one with an invalid ISBN number entered).

I got as far as separating these from other edtions and combining them but don't believe I have permission to delete either (at any rate, I cannot find a delete button...)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got 754.

I'm working on 753, but it is being difficult due to the large numbers of shelvings/reviews. ETA: Okay, finally got it.
