Thanks so much for the speedy response. :o)
I've been trying to combine http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...with
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...
I was successful combining another edition, but this edition needs to be part of the series that the other two are.
#5 fixed. All three editions now show "MYTH-Adventures" as the series. Is that what you needed?

The author needed fixing first.

I guess we were both working on this at the same time. :)
Hi. Hope you are not confused by this one:These two books are linked:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
This one has the correct cover, but is the smashwords version of the ebook above. It should be deleted. Any way to put this cover on the ebook version linked to the paperback?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Well that ebook version should not be deleted as it has it's own ISBN and is a separate edition to the other two.Are you saying that the cover on the paperback version has changed? If it has changed the new cover should be added as an alternate cover.
No, the paperback cover is correct. If you look at the ebook covers, the only problem is that one of them appears "squished."Is it possible, then to simply merge the 3 editions?

I've corrected the cover on the Kindle edition
Please combine the various editions of Storm Front by Jim Butcher(there are 3 different editions for the same book ISBN: 0451457811 (ISBN13: 9780451457813). I may have caused one of these extra entries when I changed the cover on one to reflect the book I own when I should have just added an alternate cover.How do we combine all of these to the same edition with two different covers?
Direct links to all three books would be helpful. And one book cannot have more than one cover at the moment. The accepted custom is to add an "alternate cover edition" and to make a note of it that it's an alternate cover edition with the isbn.

Sorry, I'm new to GR and I think I made some mistakes when I tried to add a new edition to Julie Garwood's For the Roses Unabridged audio edition. For some reason, I think I did it a few times when I was trying to edit the metadata and the coverhttp://www.goodreads.com/search?query...
Can you please combine them into one?
Again, sincerest apologies!
Mod
(FYI, please don't add "author" as a role. It's implied; we only add other roles, like narrator and editor.)

Hey, I just saw this. The author's name was different between the two so you couldn't combine them until that was fixed. Rivka fixed the author name at almost the same time I was in the combine function.

From WorldCat, sure looks like it's the same book. Transferred over your cover.
In general, it's best not to add a completely new edition unless your certain (by checking by ISBN) that your isn't in the system yet. (Exceptions for alternate cover editions, but that's not applicable here.)

Thank You!
This one (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...) is doubled for (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96...)And also this one (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/99...) is doubled for (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...)
Is there another way for me to remove duplicates like those mentioned? I find them frequently. Thanks.
Got the bothFor the second set of links can you post title in english so I can recombine with the other editions.
If the books have less than 5 ratings you can merge with the correct edition yourself if there are more than 5 ratings then you need to post here for a super to delete
Edit: You need to post in the Please delete thread
For the second set of links can you post title in english so I can recombine with the other editions.
This is the original English title:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51...
and again sorry for posting in a wrong thread.
No problemsI have recombined the editions as well
Hi, I found 2 listings for the same book:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/76...
The 1st is from the Kindle edition, the 2nd is from the paperback, but they're the same book. The correct publisher is Crossed Genres Publications; the correct title is "Crossed Genres Year One". (There's no "Volume 1" in the title.)
Can these be merged/combined? Thanks!
