Robin (ukamerican) | 106 comments Trying to merge two of the same books (one didn't even have an ISBN) but this one needs a super librarian to delete it because it has 6 reviews: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Once it's deleted it can then be combine back with all the other editions (also under the title "I Am The Chosen King"). Thanks.

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Omar,

You want a combine, not a merge. Both editions you linked have proper ISBN numbers. The problem was that the solo edition was listed as being authored by "Pat" while the other editions are under "Patricia."

I changed the author on the extra one and got them combined.

Marjola | 3 comments Hello,
I have added several Ismail Kadare's books in (Albanian) which are there when I check the authors page but do not come up when I search by title.
Can someone help, please.


message 10: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments There can be a delay in new books being available in search, if we make changes to books the message is may take up to 10 minutes for changes to be available in search.

When did you add these books?

Can you link to the books you added or give the ISBNs


message 11: by Marjola (new)

Marjola | 3 comments I added some books last week (a different author)and they are ok. I can search them by author and by title.

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments I have just searched by title for all of them and they appear in the search for me.

You could try clearing your cache and see what happens but they are appearing in the search for me.

Edit: This is the search result

Librarians, including supers, have no special powers over the search engine.

If the books were added in the past few hours, it may just be a question of whether the search index has updated.


message 16: by lafon حمزة (new)

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Jarod, those books were added recently, so they may take up to 48 hours to show up when searching by title. If it takes longer than two days for the search to re-index then there may be a problem. As it currently stands though, all you can do is wait.

Empty profiles get deleted periodically, but I've merged this one into the correct author profile.

message 20: by ^ (new)

^ | 86 comments Please correct the name of the author of “The Ugly One”, http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... to Hermione Ranfurly, (see other two books by this author) given that at the time of writing all three books she was a widowed (British) peeress (the third book, published in 2012, was compiled and published after her death by her daughter).

Many thanks.

message 23: by Emmalee (new)

Emmalee (schlyne) | 16 comments Can we get some notes on http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

This book covers all 4 novels and all the short stories together as one thing. Sometimes the 4 individual novels "The hound of the baskervilles, The sign of four, A Study in Scarlet, The valley of Fear" are published combined or separately in some way and do not include the short stories and people combine with the these books. This is the second time I've fixed this and it's a pain.
