Book rescue and merge

[David]

One of the books I had read last year got smacked during the Ingram transition, becoming
an unknown book with unknown author: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

I figured out that it is "The Singer" by Calvin Miller ISBN: 0830822852

A working entry for this book (with 33 ratings) is already in the database:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77...

Interesting that when you search on "the singer a classic retelling of cosmic conflict", you
still get the Unknown Book/Author link in the short search result set, meaning that somewhere behind
the scenes, this book is still keyed off the title (in a way you can't see).

Anyway, on to my question:

Since another duplicate of the book is there, should I:
1) Delete the Unknown Book/Author version outright? or
2) Push the "Rescue this edition", only to then merge the result with the one that has 33 ratings? I assume this would migrate anyone with the Unknown Book/Author reference in their collection to the correct one?

Note: There's yet another version with one rating ( http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... ), so a merge is going to happen one way or another.

I haven't done a combine or merge ( http://www.goodreads.com/help/librari... ) before, and it looks like there might be two merges required, so I thought I'd get clarification here first before doing anything.

Thanks.

The Unknown edition is clearly the Kindle edition. If you have the correct title/author info, please do rescue/edit the book. Then combine (NOT merge, no deletions) with the other editions. Or ask for help with the combines, if you like.

Oh my, not sure how I missed the "kindle" on the description of http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
Sorry 'bout that (glad I asked first).

I'll rescue the book soon, and then make sure that all three versions (kindle/hard/soft) are combined. Thanks.

Done.
