Yes Violetta, it is exactly what I told. Do you know how can I do it?


message 902: by Shawn (new)

Shawn | 4 comments Please delete this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... or the other one for the same edition. I added one because I stupidly failed to search the ISBN as well as the title, which was far off, being listed as "NA Porcupine"! My apologies.

I can't find any books by you that are available to download. When I search for them, I get this page, which shows two of your books, but says, "no download available." It appears that it has been removed.

Richard,

Because these books have been read, rated and reviewed by members we do not delete them. Some people might still own the eBooks and deleting them would remove them from their library.

I've also reverted the author changes - GR policy is to not remove data from books that have been published even if they are out of print or no longer available.

Even though they are no longer available, we leave them in the database, so that members who have read these editions can shelve them. They are already noted that they are no longer available, so that should eliminate any confusion.

We still keep it in the database, so that people who have read it can still shelve the version they read/bought. When the new one comes out, we can add that, also.


message 914: by Beth (new)

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments E. Chainey messaged me and said that she is still showing an ebook available for download on GR. I can't find it, anywhere. The book in question is Aşkı Beklerken.

Can anyone else see it, delete it, or offer advice?

I don't see one anywhere either.

Is it possible that because she, as the author, uploaded it she can still see it even though it's marked as unavailable for members?

Maybe a screenshot of what she's looking at would give us a better idea?

That book does not have an uploaded ebook.

Ditto in that I don't see it. I'd ask if she can provide you with the direct link to the file she's seeing.


message 918: by Beth (new)

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments I did. She's giving me a link to the book entry, same as I linked above, and she said when she googles her name, she can get a google entry linking her back to GR, and she can download the book. I believe she can see and download it because she's the author. Cause I sure can't do it!

Try having her sign out of Goodreads and try the search again.

Combined with the duplicate


message 938: by Krystal109 (new)

Krystal109 | 1086 comments http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

No indication that it is actually an audiobook and it shares the cover of the paperback (most shelved) version.

Why - Fan fiction is allowed by GR (unfortunately)


message 940: by Vicky (new)

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments 949: I'm leaving this one because it was fanfiction "published" online. Even though it's no longer available, users have rated it and may have it stored locally on their computer.

950: Got it and recombined.

I'm looking at this one... looks like the user added a few ISBN-less audiobooks with MMP covers. I'm going to merge them into audiobook versions.

Edit: 591 is taken care of now.

Lobstergirl Merge needed.
This ed. has correct ISBNs, pagination.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

This one has correct cover, incorrect ISBN (lower case x).

The isbn13 nr was put in the isbn10 field to create this one it seems. I've combined it with the correct edition.

message 949: by Beth (new)

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Got #960, then realized it was an alternate cover without notation, and recreated it as such. (I tend to take the long road)


message 950: by Ema (new)

Ema (emastimpy) | 99 comments While combining a book by Alessandro Baricco, I found a note left to superlibrarians to delete a book, so I post it here:

This is a DUPLICATE and less complete entry of ISBN13 9788807720741 (in fact only the ISBN10 was added). Will you please delete it and re-combine the actual (and right) edition with the other editions of this book?

It's about this book:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

The two similar editions are already combined to eachother.

Thanks!
