Hi librarians, and thank you for the work you do here.
I'm the author (Goodreads Author, profile 70700501). There are four records in the database for my forthcoming book — all the same title, same publisher, same October 6, 2026 publication date. They came in through overlapping distributor feeds during pre-order setup. I'd be very grateful for help consolidating them. I was planning to run a GR giveaway as soon as I have the combined page.
On the discrepancies you'll notice: the 288 vs 290 page counts are a feed error, not two printings — there is only one paperback edition. "fEMPOWER Publications" and "Fempower Publications Inc." are the same publisher. The records without ISBNs are incomplete feed entries rather than separate editions.
What I'm hoping for:
1. Merge #2 into #1, keeping #1 as the surviving record. All 57 ratings sit on #1 and I'd like them preserved there. I understand a merge involving a record with more than 5 ratings may need a Superlibrarian — happy to wait for one.
2. Merge #4 into #3, keeping #3 as the surviving record, since it carries the ebook ISBN.
3. Combine the surviving paperback and Kindle records under one work, so ratings and reviews display across both formats.
One additional issue on record #1: the "Get a Copy" Amazon link isn't resolving to the product page.
Thank you very much for any help with this — I know it's volunteer work and I sincerely appreciate it.
