Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Here we go again. On your mark, get set, GO!

Ha-hah, and I will start us off with a Not-So-Dear John!

(ISBN 0446177202/9780446177207)

Deleted, revived, and not-a-booked.

Next! ;)

Sorry about that weird ISBN one on the old thread, I should have noted that though it was an ISBN-13, the numbers after the 978 were identical to one of the ISBN-10s (the duplicate one also had its own valid ISBN-13) :)

GRers are very, very clever and creative in their attempts to outwit the "that ISBN has already been entered" rule. ;)

Very true, I've seen some interesting ones :)

Here's a couple more to delete:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95... - duplicate ISBN :)

Ashley, Got those 2/combined the latter with its proper edition before deleting.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Thanks :)

Ashley, You're welcome. Got it.

A couple to delete:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30...

Thanks :)

Ashley, Got the last two.

Since the bug seems to be fixed (hooray!), here's some Harry Potter books to be deleted now that it won't cause all sorts of chaos by not showing up in searches:

Chamber of Secrets:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14... - duplicate ISBN
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

Deathly Hallows:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... - duplicate ISBN
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... - a very interesting solution to the already existing ISBN problem :)
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28... - this one has already been separated out and combined with the correct foreign edition, it just needs to be deleted and then recombined with the rest of the DH books
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

Goblet of Fire:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17... - duplicate ISBN
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... - these lest two have the same problem as the DH book - just need to be deleted and the remaining edition recombined with the rest of GoF.

Hmm, there's more than I thought, so I'll leave it at these 3 books for now, thanks guys!

Please merge these three:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

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

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...

I think they're all the same.

Got all the HP's.

And the Perfumes.

Madame Secretary

Memories of a Geisha should be combined with this Geisha

This one Geisha should be combined with this Geisha
This Geisha should be deleted it is not a foreign edition - it has just been entered with the title in Arabic

Please delete Veronica Decides to die

Also combine Veronica Decides to die and Veronica Decides to die and Veronica Decides to die and Veronica Decides to die with Veronica Decides to die

Please delete this. It will combine with the proper copy of the foreign edition.

and delete this copy of Brida it will combine with the correct foreign edition.

Then all these: this, this and this should be put back with Brida

Harry Potter cont'd -

Half-Blood Prince:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19... - duplicate ISBN
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... - please delete this one, then recombine the remaining foreign edition with the rest of HBP

Order of the Phoenix:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

Prisoner of Azkaban:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... - another foreign one to be deleted, then combine remaining edition with rest of PoA.

Sorcerer's Stone:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19... and http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... - please delete these two, then recombine with the rest of sorcerer's stone :)

Hopefully that's all of them, thanks guys!

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... - one I missed that was with Sorcerer's Stone instead of Chamber of Secrets. Please delete this one, then recombine the remaining edition with CoS, thanks!

this needs to be deleted then the audio cassette with the ISBN 1564066495 needs to be added back as NOT A BOOK

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Ok, Think got all the above except for:

Melody,

One of the Veronika Decides to Die: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...
I couldn’t find another edition with exactly this language/wording so I didn’t delete. Show me if I missed it or if it's not the "correct wording" anyway and we're sure it should be deleted.

Also, I'm usually so careful, but I "lost" the description comments in one of the above books. My apologies. In a foreign language and the book was gone before I realized, so I can't even message the person who manually entered the book. ☹

But the rest should be caught up for now.

Next:

Ok, one last Harry :)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Came across an author misspelling, it's already combined with the other editions and just needs to be deleted

Ashley, Thanks. Done.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

It's an empty edition already combined with the proper editions :).

thx

Thanks Lisa :)

The Boleyn Inheritance:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...

The Other Boleyn Girl:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32... - this one is odd - the ISBN is 11 digits, and the user who added it put the format as both hardcover and paperback
EDIT: A less popular edition has the ISBN, it seems that the user just added a 0 to the front to make it unique :)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

The Virgin's Lover:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16... - duplicate ISBN

Thanks!

Got the various Boleyn books

Squirrel, I got you last one.

That Veronica did not have anything to indicate it was a foreign edition or even a seperate edition. The title was just entered in Spanish.

Welcome back Michael.

Please delete:
Know It all
Know it all

Melody,

Got those last 2 editions.

Well, I know, but that was enough for me as I assume the person who manually entered the edition of VWTD did read it in that language. I'm willing to leave the edition in the database. If another librarian wants to delete it, feel free as my take on the situation might be off.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28...

Melody, Thanks. Got the last 3.

Thanks, Lisa :).

One Boleyn Inheritance I missed:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

And Virgin's Lover:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32...

I really don't remember seeing those two, but they were added months ago. Hmm. Then on to Jodi Picoult we go:
Nineteen Minutes:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32... - this one has the 13-digit ISBN that matches the 10-digit on this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14... (Using the ISBN converter).

Ashley, I got all the above.

Many times editions aren't missed but are newly added as there's new ones being added constantly. It's also easy to miss existing ones; I do it all the time.

Rhett Butler's People: duplicate ISBN http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26...

Got it.

The Diving Bell and the butterfly
Where are you Now?

This one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32... should be deleted so that it combines with http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Got that last one. Looks like someone else got the previous two.

I suspect that these two copies of The Thorn Birds are not correct - there might be more problems, I'm not that good at spotting bad ISBNs. Thanks!
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...

Hmm. Someone got the 2nd one and I just deleted the first one in order to combine it with the other editions; it had no ISBN when I saw it. Looks as though all the above done.

Next:

Please delete:
There's no place like here

This one should be deleted There's A place called here so that it combines with A place called here

Please delete If you could see me now so that it combines with If you could see me now

Delete this PS I love you
So it combines with PS I love you

Delete this PS I love you so that it combines with PS I love you

Delete Rosie Dunne and
Rosie Dunne

Melody, I got all of these

Please delete this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18... It will combine with another foreign edition.

The Phantom Deleter has struck again! ;)

It was me. Sometimes when I'm passing through, as it were, I don't take time to comment. 8)

Tsk. ;)
