Some Turkish librarian changed it from 2010 to 1946 with no info as to why. Whatever he'd say wouldn't cut it. Definitely 2010.

Please, please, please could a lovely librarian prune this kindle title for me?(Perhaps I need to learn to do this myself since eI'm always asking).

All fixed Carolyn :) And you need to be a librarian to edit books, so perhaps you should sit the test ;) I'm sure you'd pass with flying colours.
This one seems to have got separatedhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Hi librarians, a couple of separate things to fix please!May I please have this duplication removed:

1) The first one is a valid book. Cleaned it up & added the cover, its on Trove & Worldcat. Trove & Worldcat have it as an ebook. Then .... cue dramatic music .... Amazon & Abebooks (they use amazon as a source) says paperback. Hembury says nothing.
2) Done.
And combined lots of books from both authors & added a couple of covers to other books.
The Museum of Failure:
So unless you have access to the book, I've no idea whether both editions are ebook/kindles or one of them, no idea which, is a paperback.
This from Trove: ISBN 9781763583641 :, 9781763583658 1 online resource. 1 volume. meaning one ebook one paperback. but no idea which.
The other Trove resource says 9781763583658 1 online resource.
So I went with that one.

Its just a matter of keeping your eyes open Carolyn, looking at lots of threads and seeing what other librarians are doing.

I have never heard of this title & it's not on her website. I also found another title for her at NLA, "Changing Channels" https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/.... Perhaps they've been re-written & re-named since 2004/6, & she has distanced herself. Equilibrium Books seems to be a POD service for AusLit. Maybe you can discover.
Thanks.

Well, Suz, I don't see why we'd remove the book. It just becomes an old edition, the same as any other superseded book.
It's up to the author to make the current edition the default, that's not something librarians can change.
