Melody | 19 comments Hello,

Those two Kindle editions are already combined but are the same. Is it still possible to merge them into one?

Courtney (canadiangirlcb) | 748 comments When you look up "In the Land of the Big Red Apple" by Roger LEa MacBride, there are two listings for it.

The 2nd link says there are no other editions, so they probably need to be merged. (sorry if I'm worng - I'm still trying to figure out how this site works! ^_^)

Leni - From The White Cottage (leni2117) yes, I will merge them :)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Re 4 & 5:

Merge actually means to delete a duplicate; what you want is a combine, not a merge. ;) Anyway, there was a duplicate author profile that needed merging (which I took care of) and a few uncombined works (which I and another librarian--probably Lena--took care of).

Could you merge those Kindle editions, please.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Melody we don't replace covers. As such that edition is perfectly acceptable.

Melody | 19 comments I changed the cover a few minutes ago because it didn't match the Kindle edition ASIN.

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Again, we don't replace covers unless we can positively, 100% without a doubt verify that the ASIN was never released with that particular cover, which does not seem to be the case here.

Melody | 19 comments Ok, I won't change the cover...

Still can't you merge those editions? According to amazon, the ASIN of this Kindle edition - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... - should be B004QT6ZN2 which is already taken by this edition - - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... ...

Thank you for your reply.

No. One is the alternate cover edition, created to reflect the new cover.

Melody | 19 comments Ok, thanks a lot for your explanation.

Christa綺思 (dolldalera) | 729 comments Someone has already taken 14.


message 16: by Melody (new)

Melody | 19 comments What do you mean? I see that they have been combined (maybe even by me, I don't remember) but I want to MERGE them because so far there is only one edition for this book.
