Combined both books with respective authors.
Fixed Ruth Wilson's Jane Austen.
Have to refer Will Kostakis's We Could Be Something to support as amazon has imported the kindle with both isbns & the asin.

Why is that happening Sandra? I've seen a lot now with ISBN10 and 13 plus ASIN all filled in with the one book.
I think these two are the same book - is that a merge?https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
And the page number is 163p.
Thanks for all the fixes
Hi librariansI have an eaudio edition that I can't find to provide a link to (apart from my public library). I usually can find it, with no luck on Amazon, either.

They're trying to get more amazon imports for new books because of the horrendous backlog on the Adding New Edition list.
However, they didn't program it correctly (obviously) so they're a lot of probs, including PROOFS, notebooks, and the aforesaid isbns & asins on kindle editions.
There is also the unknown author bug, and like Clare I think it was, who found the same name book, combined, on the wrong author profile. I've seen quite a few books combined with the wrong author name, don't know how that is even possible.
So, to stop people adding wrong books they've let the bots from amazon run amok and its created a lot more problems than users ever could. Mind you a lot of users were adding stuff that doesn't belong in the database. But then so are the bots, and they do it much faster.
I was reading a thread about notebooks and wondering why.(Why I was reading it, as well as how it happened)

The author created an ACE, so not sure if it should be merged. Worldcat agrees with the page numer, fixed.

Wow it sounds like a HUGE mess! Even worse than every random person adding books! And harder to fix too...

Support has moved the isbns for We Could Be Something to the paperback edition, which means both kindle & paperback should now be available on amazon.

Hi Librarians,When one of you has a minute, could you add a page number (that's currently missing) of 362 to this edition of One Summer in Tuscany:

Done. Worldcat agrees.
Looking at amazon, there is a new cover for that isbn. Creating an ACE.

A rainy day activity for a GR Librarian: Larry Writer's page is a mess that needs fixing. So many of his books have been entered separately resulting in many duplicates.

Hello, can someone please add this edition of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday?Hachette: https://www.hachette.com.au/paul-tord...
I've checked and don't think it's listed - but might be wrong.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... - is this it?
If so, is it possible to replace the cover with the one featured on Hachette's website?
Many thanks! :)
No, its a different edition Rowan. We must always match isbns.Created an ACE.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thanks so much, Sandra! I appreciate you doing that and explaining it also ☺️
Can this book be added as an ACE 9780869141847https://www.abebooks.com/first-editio...
Many of the editions on GR have the title as Human Torpedo. NLA Cat data in my 1st ed has it as Lockie Leonard: Human Torpedo https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
And I have another book needing an ACE Firestorm 0140341013It has the same details as this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
The only image of the cover I can find online is this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/202541298626 Is that allowed? I could take a photo of the cover I have
Thanks

No ACE required as that was a generic amazon cover. Done.

Clare we can't use ebay as a source, so a picture of your copy would be good. The following link will add the photo to your photo section.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Also please confirm the date of your book as whilst ebay says 1983, Worldcat has the earliest book as 1985.
Thanks. Is this the right place for my photo?https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...
My edition is published 1989. Now I know why ebay isn't used as a source :-)

Done. You can remove the cover from your photos now if you wish Clare.

ETA: it's more to do with copyright, though the quality is usually pretty bad on ebay.

other details (esp. date) as per https://www.overdrive.com/media/23647...
Maybe add Eve Matheson (N) to the credits, too.
I listened to it as an e-audio, not CD.
Thanks.
Would you please add an ACE link/note between thesehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
There is a note on the blurb for the 2nd link, but nothing on the 1st one to point you there. Also the date on the 2nd should be 1989, not 1998.
Thanks.

Sorry Cats, we can't use google docs or Overdrive as sources. Overdrive has specially said we can't use them for info due to copyright.
The audiobook is on amazon & worldcat, both state it is CD. So we'll need to leave it as CD. Even the cover mentions the CDs. We can add a separate one for you as an audiobook.
Please give me all the details about your audiobook edition.

Added the ACE link from the one with the isbn to the other edition.
I think the 1998 date is correct. In the olden days the first book kept the isbn, and the way it was added makes me think this is correct, plus there is another book dated 1998 with the same cover.
I was going to add the link from the 1998 edition to the earlier one as well, but GR isn't letting me do that, which happens occasionally.

Done.
Please check them and note that the Dutch one is in the list as well :)
You'll need to wait a while for them to show correctly due to caching.

I'll happily use the CD edition as long as the correct date is on it. If you can't update the publishing date on the current edition, please create a new audiobook edition for me with 6/4/09.
All the details are the same except they have the actual release date of 6/4/09 instead of the default 1/1/09. Published by BBC Audiobooks, they took over Chivers in 2001 so I guess that's fine. From what I can see it is just the CD's uploaded.

OK, thanks. I think you're right & my edition just doesn't mention that it's a 1998 reprint - very naughty.

I changed the date as you've said that's what it is. Not using Overdrive data :D hahahaha

Changed to 1989. Maybe they reused the cover, cause that happens.
You would think they'd note their damned prints & reprints. I suppose stuff gets lost when a big company eats up lots of little companies. That's progress. Just ask the south-american-river-company.
