Elke (misspider) | 88 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36... - wrong information on isbn/author etc. correct book page is already online.

I combined them - however I don't see why one should be deleted.

rebelrebs | 2 comments Please delete or merge this book. I created it in error, when it already existed.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... (this is the one I created)

(this one already existed)

Got 373.

Please keep in mind when adding books that authors with initials should always be entered like so:
J.K. Rowling

not:
J K Rowling

or:
JK Rowling


Thanks!

rebelrebs | 2 comments lol, I figured that out after this. I find the search engine sometimes isn't very helpful finding what I'm looking for, and I might have to try different combos of the book title and author's name to find the book I'm looking for.

It does tend to get a bit confused by authors with initials in their names, unfortunately.

Does putting double quotes around the title or author help?

Variable. Anyway, lengthy discussions about the search engine really belong elsewhere.


message 363: by Brittany (new)

Brittany (weareattached) | 43 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... this is a duplicate with no ISBN

But the people to whom you gave copies may want to include them on their shelves. Goodreads isn't a bookstore and isn't indicating the availability of a book for purchase; a listing here merely indicates that the book has existed.

I note that Infinity has marked it as "read" -- perhaps they acquired one of the four copies you mentioned?


message 366: by FAE (new)

FAE | 4 comments Please delete this book, as it needs a super to delete because of # of reviews: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71...

I added it originally after searching for it by ISBN and finding no results. Turns out it already existed, but the librarian who created it did not enter the ISBN, hence why I never found it. I was notified this needed "rescued" and then found the other entry.

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Done.

Is there a way to remove it from my Goodreads Author page then?


message 371: by Lobstergirl (new)

Lobstergirl Super needed - this ed. has incorrect ISBN
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

and should be merged into this one
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...


message 372: by Peter (new)

Peter (pete_c) | 388 comments Someone has marked this edition of Mortal Engines as CANCELLED. Shouldn't it be deleted?

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Got 387. Re 388: deletion won't work, it would reimport.

Edit: It also looks like that a notation from the publisher catalog and may just indicate that it's completely out of print.

Though the book is found with that isbn on several websites, there only exists one edition of this series. Therefore, the book should be deleted.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Got 391

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Re 393: I got the 3rd and 4th. The second and first appear to be perfectly valid. Sometimes publishers release more than one almost-identical edition. As long as they have different ISBNs, we keep both.


message 379: by Violetta (new)

Violetta | 477 comments need a super (user made editions instead of reviews): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Why did you remove its ISBN?


message 383: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Wait, I see now -- 12 digits. Sorry, tired.

ZAP!


message 384: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31418 comments No worries :D

Thank you!


message 385: by Tara (new)

Tara Calaby (taracalaby) | 11 comments Could a super librarian please delete this one:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

It's one of the Amazon seller ones that were imported at one point (http://www.amazon.com/Hand-Kings-Evil...). Already merged with the correct edition for the reviews.

Cheers!


message 386: by Maija (new)

Maija (maijavi) | 12 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

This second volume was never published, the series was discontinued.

Cesar M. | 15 comments Hi > a book has appeared on my author dashboard thats not mine!! here is the link to the book
http://louisewise.blogspot.com/2012/0...
I hope this is the right place to post this issue?

message 388: by Renske (new)

Renske | 12220 comments That book is from an author with the same single name and currently there isn't a possibility to separate single name authors.


message 389: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Got 401 and 402


message 391: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Got it


message 392: by Sara ♥ (new)

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 316 comments I believe this is a placeholder that should be deleted (needs a super): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...


message 393: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The cover looks different, I don,t have time to investigate now, I'll get it if someone else does not in a bit


message 394: by Sara ♥ (new)

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 316 comments The cover is a bit different, it's true... I was thinking maybe its cover was released by the author a few months ago, but they ended up changing it before the release? I'm not sure. I just stumbled upon it when "rescuing" books for my friends....


message 395: by BBK (new)

BBK (bbkbhl) | 1 comments Please delete this book. I have added this and informed the writer on 25th, but now he is going to publish with a different name.
Thank you.

message 396: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Re 408/410 - having done some research I agree about the cover - but the book is currently in a give away and we don't delete editions when a giveaway is on.

Ill book mark it to check post giveaway

message 398: by [deleted user] (new)

The new novel by Moira Young in the Dustlands series is Rebel Heart http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

so the blood red sequel is not the right one so will need to be removed or merged with the one above
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...


message 399: by [deleted user] (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Re 415

We generally don't delete books unless they have never been published.

Is that why you want it deleted?
