Please delete this book! (pt. 11)
I'm bringing this over from a combine request. Two of the books listed do not have ISBNs. Should they be deleted? For now I've combined them with the one that has an ISBN-13. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Thanks.
There was no other information and the cover was the same, so I merged it and also the other edition without any information.
This one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77... is a placeholder for an entire 5 volume series. I've combined it with the first volume (it used that cover image too), can a super delete/merge this?
Same deal with this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... (already combined with the first volume of the series)
These two are both manually added without isbn, they're already combined with the proper version:- http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
- http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
Can a super delete/merge them please?

The entry is using the first volume's cover, and one copy that spans the entire series would have to contain 6 x 190 pages.
Is there a way to check if the isbn is real? (Sometimes I think isbns are also used for "package" deals where you get a set of books sold as one, so maybe that's what this is?)
These two seem to be placeholders for the entire 14 volume series - no isbns either :)1) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...
2) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

Got the ones in 216.As far as checking the ISBN, I use the following link to check that the number is a valid ISBN:
http://www.isbn-international.org/ia/...
Now whether or not the ISBN can be verified to really exist on an actual book is very hard to do. If someone has the book in hand , it's easy (obviously). If not, well...it's very hard to prove a negative. :)

Thanks for the link! You're right, no way to prove this is a negative now, I'll separate it from the first volume again, thanks for your help!
I recently combined a novella of mine with a short story as a bonus and would like the short story to be removed. This one can be removed http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...Thank you guys!
If the short was ever released separately (which appears to be the case here), we do not remove it from the database just because it is now out of print.
Super needed!http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
(same as this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...)
This is another placeholder for an entire (7 volume) series: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...I've combined it with the first volume in the series, can a super delete/merge it?
And another placeholder for an entire series here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61...It's combined with the first volume, can a super delete/merge it? Thanks :)
There's a duplicate of my book up. Could you please delete or combine it? Thanks!
