From what I can see, same plot, same story. I don't see the difference between this and abridged versions, just in reverse.

(I'm also not sure why it was posted in the delete thread, but that could just mean I haven't had enough caffeine yet this morning.)

Sandra  (readingontheporch) | 267 comments 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.

Thanks.

Renske | 12220 comments There was no other information and the cover was the same, so I merged it and also the other edition without any information.

Ninja Neko | 171 comments 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?

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Got 209


message 206: by Ninja Neko (new)

Ninja Neko | 171 comments Same deal with this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... (already combined with the first volume of the series)


message 207: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Re 211: Both of those have valid ISBN's, so I am going to leave it for now.


message 208: by Ninja Neko (new)

Ninja Neko | 171 comments 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?


message 209: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Both of those have been merged. :)

I tried googling the isbn & the publisher's website but couldn't find anything... 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?)


message 211: by Ninja Neko (new)

Ninja Neko | 171 comments These two seem to be placeholders for the entire 14 volume series - no isbns either :)

I've combined them with the first volume in the series, can a super delete/merge them?


message 212: by vicki_girl (new)

vicki_girl | 2764 comments 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!

Jennifer Snyder | 11 comments 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!


message 219: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
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.


message 220: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Snyder | 11 comments Oh, okay. Well, thank you for your help anyways!
