Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

For editions to be merged with something other than the work default, please remember to separate out the two editions for merging before posting in this thread.

NOTE: This thread is for requesting the deletion of true duplicates -- two entries for the same edition of a book. If you need help with anything else (e.g.: moving books off an author's page where they have appeared in error, author disambiguation, combining editions, etc.) please start a NEW THREAD in this folder.

#1000 in the previous thread had not been done yet: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

#2 done

Please merge this two editions and remove the duplicate:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

Got 4

Please delete the incomplete edition 1001 dark nights and re-combine with the other Stroke of Midnight editions. (I checked all 1001 dark nights books by Lara Adrian and 2015 was this one - thankfully she contributes only one book per year to this seris)

I just combined it with a paperback to merge it but can't delete it :-)

Thank you!

Got 6

Wow you are fast Paula!

Found another one: 1001 dark nights dream of you - please delete the incomplete edition and re-combine with the Kindle :-)

Thank you again!

11 Why? It seems a valid edition.

12 Done

Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Seems to be a stray edition with no identifying information?

#14 done

Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Duplicate stray with no identifying information.

#16 done

Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Stray entry seemingly for the entire series.

Questioning if this needs to be deleted- no identifying info, librarian note reads that it was added because of question about the page numbers?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Please combine these 2 books from

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks so much!!

These are actually already combined; 2 editions of the book seem to be added to list you linked. This thread is for deletions, please post requests for combining here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Adding some info that might be helpful: when I had cleaned up the editions of the first volume (Miss Peregrine) I was asked to add an alternative edition with a different page count (including bonus features): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Of course it would have been useful if the librarian had added the ISBN, but I think this edition probably also includes bonus features.

Thanks, and that's close to what I had been thinking, but I was questioning it because of the lack of ISBN. Thanks!

Please delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Appears to be a duplicate HC edition with no identifying ISBN?

delete https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

and combine another with

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Author has changed publishers, and this edition of the book will no longer be published:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This has taken its place with new publisher/publication date:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Should the first entry be deleted since technically it doesn't and won't ever exist?

These need to be merged:

Got 19 - book in hand pages take preference -deleted as other editions had 458 pages now

This should probably be deleted:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
For some reason there is a misspelling of the Author's name as "Freg" when his name is Greg Pape, creating a duplicate author as well.
The accurate version is here:

Done, please do not move data between editions prior to requesting a merge, makes it longer to check

no deletion needed,

the author names needed fixing and then the editions combing as they have ISBN's
