The primary edition can only be set by the author, librarians can't do this.We don't remove books that have been published. That is strictly against Goodreads policy.
I've reviewed your catalogue of 3 titles. The Last Summer of us has 2 editions, a Kindle & a paperback. This is correct.
Mermaid, as above, against policy to remove.
United States of Us appears to be the only one with any contention but as all these editions were published over the years I'm not sure we can do much with them.
For example the Kindle edition with ASIN B016KA11EW from 2015 has a different cover, different page count etc but has been shelved 36 times so librarians can't even merge it. The best we could do would be a note to the effect of "This is a previous edition of xxxx" for the old editions and adding "previous editions of this book can be found here, and here, and here" to the current edition linking to all the older editions.
Maybe another librarian has a different view.
I'm the author Kate Sundara, and I'd appreciate your help correcting and tidying my Goodreads catalogue so it accurately reflects my published work. This is to improve the readers' experience.
**The United States of Us** currently has multiple editions/records, which is causing confusion for readers. Older editions are appearing in searches and Listopia instead of the current edition.
Please could you:
* Merge any duplicate editions/Works of *The United States of Us*.
* Make the latest paperback edition the primary edition (ISBN-13: **9781068733611**).
* Update the Goodreads record to match the current Amazon/KDP edition, including the latest description and edition details.
Latest Amazon edition:

I'd also appreciate a review of my catalogue for any other duplicate or outdated records that should be merged or corrected so readers are consistently directed to the correct editions.
Finally, I'd like **The Misfit Mermaid** removed from my author catalogue if possible. It no longer represents my published brand or readership and is causing confusion. I now write New Adult romance, whereas *The Misfit Mermaid* is a children's title. Removing it would make my catalogue clearer and help readers find the books they're actually looking for. If there is a specific process for handling this request, I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your help and all that you do here.
Best wishes,
Kate Sundara
