Please delete this book! (pt. 13)

It doesn't have an isbn, but it is combined with the editions that do.

There's this one too: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61...
It's the most popular edition of the book, but it doesn't have an isbn. The cover they used is the same one as the second most popular edition, but it has a different page count. The page count does match the 3rd most popular edition.
Can it just be merged as is or should we split it with the best match first?


Edit: I know what I mean :) tried to delete edition with fewer shelvings but not working either.
Going to leave for a while, some times it does actually delete just takes it own time to do so

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
and combine with:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...
TIA


seems to be a duplicate (same cover, no ISBN) of this edition http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48...

They have different page numbers and different publication years, so I don't think either should be deleted.

I guess this is one of the times when it's a good thing I was having problems.

I think we've all had this sentiment on occasion. ;)

Why? They seem to legitimately have different page numbers. Why shouldn't users be able to have the correct number of pages listed?

because I am not aware of any discussion or rules on "alternate page numbers edition", only on "alternate cover edition".
Heh. It doesn't really happen enough to warrant a section in the manual, but if you browse through old threads you will probably find a handful of other such cases.

There doesn't exist edition with that name by Rick Riordan.

I believe
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
need to be merged (ASIN appears to match the ISBN)
Also, I'm not sure if this is appropriate here (I'll create a new thread if that's the case) but authors
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
also need merging if someone wants to take care of that as well.
Thanks :)

That's a B&N ID. Perfectly valid.

Each ASIN, ISBN, and BNID should get a separate entry, as has been done there.
Looks like someone got the author?

The first link is using a BNID, which is Barnes & Nobles version of an ASIN. If you look at the ISBN 13 it starts with 294; I have deleted the meaningless ISBN-10
The second and third links just need to be combined, which I have done. We keep books with unique ASINs, even if has the same ISBN as another ebook edition. (The same is true for books with unique BNIDs.)
Looks like someone got the author merge.

I believe

Merged the authors
All 3 of the books are valid editions. The 294 number is Barnes & Noble's version of an ISBN.

is a duplicate of this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95...
I already moved the ISBN over to the placeholder edition so that we don't get those 504 gateway errors again.

It's a NAB, but first it should be merged then NABed. It is added by more than 5 people, so...

Can you delete the version without the rating?
Thanks so much!
