Catsalive | 1468 comments Could you fix this one please, the wrong book is listed for this isbn?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

isbn 9781410487926/141048792x
It should be From Bad to Wurst by Maddy Hunter, as per Worldcat & amazon.

Paperback, 405p (not 389), Wheeler Publishing Large Print, 20/4/16

This is another edition of From Bad to Wurst to combine it with

Veronica ⭐️ | 2384 comments Could someone please look at this one when you have time.

I found this on one of my goodreads shelves and I’m very confused.

It was a bad import, now fixed.

However, everywhere states 389 pages, including Worldcat so could you please advise what you've got between pages 390 & 405 please Cats, as some things we keep and some things we don't :)

This is a case of the bots running amok and over-riding librarian edits. Its an on-going problem at the moment.

I'll need to leave it as the TPB are looking into it and asking for examples.

Remind me in a couple of weeks if it isn't fixed by then :)

Thanks, Sandra.

I have the physical book in my hand.
Numbered pages go to 407 but 407 is just a blurb about Thorndike Press.
P405 is About the Author
P403 is the final page of the author's work (p390 last page of Ch22, p391-403 is Ch23)

Blacktown library has it as 407p - https://blacktown.spydus.com/cgi-bin/...

Thanks Cats, with your explanation we'd go with 406 pages, presuming the author bio goes to 406 or does it only go to 405 & a blank page for 406? :)

Thanks Sandra. I never there were so many Peter Moores in the world writing books :-)

405 it is then :)

message 4018: by Catsalive (new)

Catsalive | 1468 comments Please update...

I don't know where it belongs - Blood in the Sport, Noah Henderson
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

but it has been combined with Blood Sport, Dick Francis
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

and I know it doesn't belong there.

Thanks.

I separated it from Dick Francis' books Kylie, so it's under its own author heading now :)

Please make this an ACE - it does have a note at the end of the blurb to that effect but I couldn't see it until I hit 'show more', maybe move it up to the top, or a link between them would be good, if possible.

for this edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks.

Done. I've linked them both and moved the ACE note up to the top of the description (where I always put it :D)

Catsalive | 1468 comments Someone has put in an ACE for this edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
but put exactly the same cover on it, so
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...
The alternate cover is this
https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...

ETA: Now looking more closely, I would say that the top one (54005260) with a pub date of 2017 is actually an alternate of the 2nd (818285) pub date 2007.
And my cover is an alternate to the 2007 edition as it is also 2007. At any rate, my edition matches https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... in everything except the cover.


Further ETA: I've found another ACE that is pretty much correct
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
there is just no mention of it as an ACE in either of the above editions.

Maybe you could just mention this alternate alternate in the other 2, or something. I hope I've made sense.

Sandra | 1178 comments I've been busy today Kylie, I'll have a look tomorrow or Sunday.

Catsalive | 1468 comments To save time, just a comment/link that

No hurry, thanks.

Rowan MacDonald | 404 comments Hi librarians,

Can someone please change the title of The Outback Wrangler by Matt Wright (Paperback) to be the same as listed on Amazon and the Kindle Edition?

Goodreads Paperback Entry: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/Outback-Wra...

Many thanks in advance! :)

That last one is the same one I came up with. It is the ACE, and in the "olden days" ie back in 2015 when it was done, we didn't use to link the books.

I'll link them shortly.

ETA: and done.

Rowan MacDonald | 404 comments Hi librarians,

Is it possible to combine these editions of Mark of the Grizzly by Scott McMillion?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I believe these other two are duplicates or might need deleting:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Seems a bit of a dog's breakfast Haha The 2020 paperback edition is what my library has.

Many thanks in advance! :)

Rowan MacDonald | 404 comments Also, can a page count please be added to this edition of Corrections in Ink by Keri Blakinger?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

It also needs an edit to the title, to read: Corrections in Ink: Dispatches from an American Prison

Thank you very much! :)

There's obviously a problem somewhere in the db.

The site kept crashing yesterday, and I only noticed because I was updating challenges and when I posted it said "there was a problem saving your comment", and of course my work was gone.

Everything is wrong except edition pub details. And the author and series are in the title
