Thanks!
Hi, There's a bunch of editions of Hating Alison Ashley that need corrections to the title:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
This one also has incorrect pub date - 1772
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
This edition isn't linked to the rest

Looks like another bot attack of duplicates, at a quick glance.
I'll go through them & sort em out :)
ETA: Should be cleaned up now.
Please put the English blurb https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...into this English edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I think it may be Hungarian currently.

The author Tegan Bennett Daylight wrote her earlier books as Tegan Bennett. Her two names have different author pages. Should they be linked or made into one or something along these lines?https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Her personal website lists all the books from both GR profiles
https://teganbennettdaylight.com/
And the page for "With Love from Wish & Co" says Danielle Wood is a co-author, but it's written only by Minnie Darkehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
https://www.penguin.com.au/books/with...
Thanks
Only the author can request the profiles be combined. Her website only shows the TBD books and she mentions the childrens books, only in passing.
Hi librarians,Can someone please create the book, Mole Creek by James Dunbar, due for publication by Echo Publishing, August 2023.
The cover and details are listed on Echo Publishing's website, but I could only see the page count on Allen & Unwin's.
Echo: https://www.echopublishing.com.au/boo...
Allen & Unwin: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/...
Many thanks in advance! :)

Would you please add an ACE for thishttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
isbn 1857232054, Orbit, 312p
as per this cover https://www.amazon.com.au/Ship-Who-Se...
Actually, this is probably it except it should be Orbit, not Time Warner, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
Thanks
Hi, Could someone please correct the author for this book?Friendly Bee and Friends
this is the correct author:
Sean E. Avery
thank you.
There's a few problems with the records for That Thing I Did.I'm reading the ebook from my library ISBN 97811743059067
This edition is missing ISBN and format https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Kindle ed incorrectly says the author Allayne Webster is the editor https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
Paperback ISBN 9781743058633 has wrong pub date. It was first published 1 Mar 2022, not January.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9...
The pub website doesn't say the date, but last year I was waiting to read it and it didn't come out until 1 March 2022 (and then it took me a year to actually read it)

Thanks

Done.
Cats, I'll need to look more into the Ship Who Searched. I have a feeling that we don't need an ACE as that cover is wrong. But I'll have to do more investigation.

I'm still waiting on a merge to go through for a duplicate Infidelity, then I'll recombine. Its only been 6 days so far *sigh*.
I have an audio edition that I cannot find a suitable online link for. Mine was used through Overdrive which I know is not acceptable. This is the closest, through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/Audible-Fou...
Mine was a different cover. The only cover that exists through Google image search linked me to overdrive, so I'm guessing this will do!
For this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
Thanks
Ps. ended up finding this: https://www.worldcat.org/title/902748116
It's at least the right cover image.

Suz, what is the isbn/asin of the edition you want created?
The one you found on worldcat with the correct cover is in the database. Though I'm assuming you want an audiobook and not the CD edition?

Sandra wrote: "Suz wrote: "I have an audio edition that I cannot find a suitable online link for. Mine was used through Overdrive which I know is not acceptable. This is the closest, through Amazon: https://www..."
Hi Sandra. I just went to Overdrive and to the app I listened on, strangely it is not there. No details at all. I didn't listen to the CD but I feel this is the closest I can get. Not sure where else to look?
I did just think of Libraries Aust and found this: 9781471289200
Which is strange because Libraries Aust says there are no digitial copies in Aust, which there are as I found one on Libby.
Thanks
I found another book that says it was published 1 Jan 2023, but the pub date is 2 May 2023. The correct date is on the kindle editionhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thanks
Mod
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1......"
It's now showing 2nd May 2023 Clare. If someone puts in 2023 as publish date and nothing else, January 1st is the default date :)

isbn 9780143779100
Penguin paperback - publisher says 400p, my library says 394p, GR says 352p
(https://www.penguin.com.au/books/the-...)
I'll leave it with you Sandra. The physical copy I have from my library has 394 numbered pages which includes 2 pages of 'reading group notes'.
This edition below appears to be a duplicate of the above, entered prior to publication so should likely be merged. At the very least the page count is wrong here also.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Thankyou.

We include reading group notes, so changed to 394, which Worldcat agreed with.
Deleted the duplicate (merged) as it was one of those amazon bot bugs.
These two books by Gabrielle Williams aren't linked to the main records. I don't know if they need combining or they're amazon bot imports. They have unique ISBNs, but one has incorrect publisher and both have missing data.The Guy, the Girl, the Artist and His Ex

And they're being a little slow to combine. I'll keep checking it.
ETA: They've finally gone through.
I found another bot mess for Mem FoxCorrect record https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
This one might only need combing https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Cleaned up Mem. Some I had to keep, some I got rid of & others I added more info.

Reverted the amazon bot change of title. If it changes again, just post again. It has been noted elsewhere that changes don't always stick.

Combined the kindle, paperback & ebook editions which were already in the system.
Added covers to the paperback & ebook, may take a little while to show correctly, due to caching.
