Please delete this book! (pt. 12)

[Ninja Neko]

Can a super delete this one please?: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14... It was created with a misspelled author name. I've corrected it & combined it with the correct editions.

[Melody]

got it

[Paul]

Could someone merge these two:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
Or you could just delete the second one, since it is the first that has the more correct info on it. Thanks.

[Paul]

Hi Again,
Could someone delete this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

It has been combined with this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

Which isn't true. You see, I was first going to publish book together, then I decided to split it up into parts and thus the original one dosen't exist anymore.

This is actually also true with my other novel:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

I scrapped that and split it into 6 parts which are now listed on the site, so it would be good if this could be deleted.

Thanks heaps.

Paul, all those editions were published. The fact that they are now out of print is irrelevant to Goodreads policy: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22...

They do not need deleting one is the Kindle edition and one is an Ebook edition - they are correctly combined

so it was never published as one? since it has a ASIN and while it is no longer on amazon - it is archived

We do not delete books generally if they have been published even if they are re published differently.

If it was never published then it can be deleted please confirm

[Paul]

Okay, but the first link refers to the full version, which is like 150 pages or so, but it is the same page count as the other one, see second link. So since they can't be deleted it would be best to unmerge them:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

No, it was never published as such. I added the info and then at the last minute changed and split it up.

[Paula]

so it was published?

if it was not it can be deleted but since people have it shelved we need to make sure their reviews are not lost

[Paul]

No, it wasn't published, and the comments are meant to be on other listing, but since these were combined they just added it to this one.

I couldn't find it, perhaps I will root around for it again today. Thanks :)

Then how does it have an ASIN? Amazon assigns those at time of listing (i.e., publication).

They are uncombined, and I corrected the page numbering.

[Arenda]

Super needed to merge:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
(I deleted the incorrect ISBN-10, which were the first 10 numbers of ISBN-13)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

Dutch version of: To kill a mockingbird.

thanks

Would you mind pointing out where on the edit page I would find the NAB link? I must be over-looking it somehow. *puts on dunce cap and waits in the corner*

[lafon حمزة]

The NAB link is only available for books with less than a certain amount of ratings or review. Actually I haven't checked, but I assume for regular librarians that there need to be at the very maximum 5 ratings. The NAB link appears on the right-hand side of the page beneath the "refresh book ratings stats" link.
Here is a screenshot to show what I mean:

[╟ ♫ Tima ♪ ╣ ♥]

I was definitely over-looking it. Silly, impatient me. Thank you very much!

[vicki_girl]

AFAIK it only shows for books that have been shelved by zero people, both for regular and super librarians.

Correct. And for GR employees, for that matter.

Kate, we do not delete books once they have been published. http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/22...

[Savanna]

Please delete this book. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
I mistakenly added it as a new book but it is just another edition of an already existing book. Thank you!

[vicki_girl]

That book has a valid ISBN and is listed in Worldcat. I combined with the other editions.

When you use the "add new edition" link, it always creates a new book. It does not automatically combine with the others. A librarian has to combine it manually. I have done that for this one.

[Andrea]

Please delete this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... (it's the same paperback as the main edition).

Thanks!

[vicki_girl]

Got 836.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

poof!

[[deleted user]]

Please delete this book. I'm the author. I've removed it from sale, and it never sold. Thank you.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

[C.G.]

need help here. while trying to add a new title (a short story collection I edited and published on Amazon as Kindle ebook only) I managed to create multiple versions of the same book here on Goodreads; MANY multiple versions. (my keyboard's fault, I think. honest!) none of them are 100% correct. now, as I try to fix, I'm not able to find the one true one with the ASIN # (B008BCP252). I'd like them all deleted except for the one with the ASIN number so I can start over. title is crappy shorts: number two. it's the second in a series. I'm listed as the editor (C.G. Bauer).

[lafon حمزة]

Pretty sure I've fixed 841. You just have to make sure all the data is correct.

[Jonathan]

I think there are two entries for the same edition of King City. ISBN 10 for the bad one is wrong - it's the first 10 of the 13-digit ISBN, listed correctly in the second entry.

Delete: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Merge with: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

I'm unable to do this myself due to the number of reviews.

[Lobstergirl]

Needs super.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

[C.G.]

to lafon re 841. yes, it looks fixed. thanks very much.

[Melody]

Got 843 and 844

[[deleted user]]

Could someone please do 840? Thank you.

We do not remove books from the site if they have already been published. I'm assuming that most of the other librarians who have seen your post do not know if whether or not the fact that no one purchased the book makes a difference to that rule. You'll have to wait for someone else, like rivka perhaps, to weigh in on the subject, but that might not be for another day or so.

[Andrea]

Please combine this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... with the main one
thanks!

[Jenny]

[Melody]

got 849 and 850

[Norain]

Please delete this book. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Another version with more complete info is here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68... and I don't think there is any need to merge them. Thank you.

[lafon حمزة]

852, that has a legitimate ISBN and shouldn't be deleted.

[Amara]

Re 852: And I've combined it with its other edition.

[Caro]

I've added in the rest of the info I could find for it, it was the ebook edition to the paperback.

[Siina]

This is a copy: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... (The other one has ISBN and this does not).

It does not. Published is published.

Actually, neither edition did, so I deleted the one without a cover.

Thanks for the heads-up, rivka. Another curiosity put to rest. :)

[Caro]

I believe these are the same and they are already combined. Should I delete the one with the isbn for the title, or does something need to be done before that because of reviews?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

(same): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

[Andrea]

Please combine this edition
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... with the main one.
Thanks!

also... this edition http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... doesn't have many details, but it looks like it originally was a different book (Tom Tom the Pipers Son ISBN 1855345358), should we "undo" the changes that led to it being combined with this book, or should it be merged with the main edition?

[Tala]

please delete http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
another complete listing is here http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
The book has not been published yet. thanx.

[Amara]

Re 862: Looks like someone merged the dupe already. However, if the book hasn't been published yet, the stated date of "1/1/12" is wrong and needs correction, yes?

Re 861: I've restored the ISBN someone erroneously deleted, and I'm looking into the other details added the other details.
